Our Noah Oliver has officially been a toddler for two months now and I’m loving it! As special as the baby year is, it’s also tough in many ways; primarily because of the sleep deprivation-induced brain fog, which can make it hard to enjoy life at times. For me, being able to spend Noah’s second Read More

Noah’s last baby update!
The best thing that came out of 2020 was of course our baby boy. ❤️ It’ll be Noah’s first birthday in a week! I wasn’t able to keep up with his monthly baby updates in the end, but I have really enjoyed being busy with him. Our first year together was very different from what Read More
Maia three years old – birthday party in lockdown
2nd of December marked the end of the second lockdown in England. It was also Maia’s third birthday. Although she was talking about a birthday party and her friends coming to our house, I knew (or at least hoped!) she didn’t really have any expectations and she wouldn’t be disappointed even though there wasn’t going Read More
Life of a busy 8-month old – crawling practice and independent sleep
During the summer holidays Noah turned 7-months old and to summarise, his seventh month consisted of a lot of teething, frustration from trying to but not being able to crawl, and tasting new foods. Most of the month we were away (see my previous post about our holiday ) and in that sense I hope Read More
Half way through the baby year – 6-months old Noah
This summer has been a time of change for us with the country slowly coming out of the coronavirus lockdown and with me stepping up “properly” to the role of a full time mum of two as we let go of our kids’ nanny. Over these past two months we’ve also seen Noah take huge Read More
Baby Noah 4-months old
Last week was much happier for me, probably because of writing my last post and processing my feelings that way… Also the kind and encouraging messages (rather than judgement!) I received on the back of it made me feel more “ok” with the fact that I’ve struggled with the combination of the mum life and Read More
Baby Noah 3-months old
That’s it! We don’t have a newborn baby anymore! Three months went in a flash, I must say. Interestingly with Maia I felt like the “fourth the trimester” lasted much longer but that’s possibly because I was alone with the baby and also new to the long, sleepless nights, endless nursing and solitary pram walks. Read More
2-month old Noah Oliver
It’s like we are living in a sci-fi movie with the deserted streets and closed shops and restaurants… Coronavirus has changed our society and the way we live within days (or weeks if you’re in the UK with a government that’s been slow to react). This is the first week of lockdown in London. I Read More
My toddler Maia
When I feel like I’m struggling (see my previous post), I try to focus on all things positive in my life, the best thing being, of course, my little girl Maia. I stopped writing the monthly baby updates when Maia turned one and was no longer a baby, but I really wanted to write one Read More
Last baby update – Maia 1-year old!
This is my last baby update – I don’t have a baby anymore! Maia is toddler girl now, 13-months old. After Maia’s big first birthday on December 2nd, I wrote about her party and christening (read here) but I didn’t write a monthly “baby update” with her development milestones so I thought I’d do that Read More
