  • Pregnancy. Do you like it or not? I’m not a huge fan if I’m being honest. I find it incredibly difficult to deal with. However, I cannot wait to hold my baby 😍 Today I share all the things I’ve found different this time around until now! 🤰SIZE – I feel huge. So huge. People said that you feel bigger sooner second time around and that is definitely true here. I felt like I was showing way before 12 weeks this time. 🤰ACID REFLUX – I had this with Mia but it is a billion times worse this time. No idea why really. I feel like I have a small ball of acidic bile sat in my throat 24/7. How nice! 🤰I’M MORE RELAXED – Well, depends. I still feel very anxious about giving a birth event and all the worries that brings with it. But on the whole I feel a lot more like I know what I’m getting myself into this time around! 🤰RESTING – When I can, I really am trying to rest as much as possible. I think with Mia, I didn’t realise how tiring being a mum could be. This time I am well aware. So yes, I rest as much as I can. 🤰HAND-ME-DOWNS – With my first pregnancy I want to buy everything new for my baby. From the crib, pram , baby clothes to the blankets, everything was new! This time, oh thank goodness for hand-me-downs! Perfect hand-me-downs from my older child, family members and even friends. 🤰BABY KICKS – With my first pregnancy, I didn’t even know what to expect with my first born baby kicks. I didn’t noticed the very first few kicks because I just didn’t know what they felt like. With my second pregnancy I’ve recognised the first flutters in my stomach and automatically know it was my baby kicking, not something I ate. It’s really a fun moment.... . Full post is up on my blog, if you fancy a read (link in bio) #secondpregnancy 🌸
  • #ad Since my university days I have suffered with IBS, and until just recently I always had ups and downs in terms of how painful or uncomfortable my stomach was. During IBS Awareness Month I realised there are things I can use to help me. I can’t explain how huge a relief it was for me! I’ve always thought I’d just have to put up with the discomfort but since trying Senocalm I’ve felt a difference as it really helps treat my gas related IBS symptoms and it’s so lovely to have something I can reach for. You can pick yours up from your local @bootsuk #MindBodyStomach #Gutfulness (UK/S/0519/0049)
  • Morning lovely people 🌸 I know some of you don’t watch them, but for those who do, how many prefer stories to grid posts? I’m finding, personally speaking, that I’m checking in more to the stories on the ‘gram, rather than the grid. I have so many favourites! I like the mix of chatting and real life. I love the direct responses and chats I have with you all through them. My new challenge is to mix it up and treat my stories like mini blog posts, at a time when lots of people have said they prefer the format on here rather than over on a blog ( I still will be posting on my blog though). But what do you think? It feels like there’s a shift happening on this app right now. It’s a colourful, creative, amazing space, but it’s also one that can bring as much anxiety as inspiration #instastories #newchallenge 🌸
  • #ad How early you start planning your child’s birthday? Well, choosing perfect birthday gifts is never easy. So this year we are trying out @twish.app 🙌🏻 Twish is the new app designed to take the stress out of children’s birthdays, by getting parents (and family/friends) to collectively contribute to a special gift or experience for a child. This year Mia’s wish list is big 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄 so, we are getting friends and family to contribute towards this via the app rather then then all buying her lots of presents...how clever 😉Twish app is free and available to download now via the app store or Google Play. #celebratewithtwish #meaningfulgifting
  • Spring - Our Montessori At Home in Pictures (blogged) 👧🏻👩🏼 .

Enjoy the glimpse (link in bio) 🌼#capturethemoment #montessoriathome #montessorimonday
  • #ad Pizza is probably one of the only foods that holds a special place in my daughter’s hungry heart 😁 But then again, what's not to love about these divinely delicious triangles? . Because of that, since we’ve became parents, our most visited restaurant is @pizzaexpress Mia’s favourite without doubt and we also enjoy their food! Real family friendly place! . Now it all gets more exciting as Pizza Express are currently looking for children to choose their favourite tasty toppings to create a yummy new pizza for their new menu! The winner's creation will go on their Piccolo Menu. To enter, pick up a Piccolo activity pack in restaurant and/or enter on their website! Here Mia is having a go, and we are entering ourselves 😉😋 🍕 #pizzaexpresscyo
  • Hi! I just came to say hello. I’ve been a bit lacking in my insta-life lately, mainly because I haven’t really been ‘feeling’ it. What I have felt, is that there’s been a shift in my life. I’ve wondered whether I’m offering anything interesting, or whether I’m doing anything all that different! I’ve questioned where all this is taking me, specially now when I’m excepting 🤰...And while I’m of that mindset, I’d rather step away for a while. But I am here - and I do still love it, I’m just figuring a few things out! What I do know though, is that I am very grateful for you and for your support. I hope you all had fabulous #longweekend from today we are back to our busy life! 💞
  • #ad Earlier this morning, a little quiet moment before day begins, preparing my favourite Jordans Milk Chocolate Granola and child free - well kind of she was up soon after but I enjoyed my breakfast in peace so that’s a WIN!! 🌸Thank you @jordanscereals for keeping me company & not requiring additions to taste delicious 👌🏻#chocolateorange #jordanscereals 🌸
