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

Night weaning – beginning of the end of my second breastfeeding journey?
In two months time I will have been either pregnant or breastfeeding for four years straight. I expected not to feel very emotional about stopping breastfeeding Noah because quite frankly I thought I would have had enough of sharing my body for so long! But no. Despite the circumstances being very different to when I Read More
Noah’s last baby update!

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
Kayla Itsines’s Post Pregnancy Programme – review
When Noah was two months old I decided it was time to slowly get back into exercising and eating a bit healthier (see my previous post about the Mindful Chef recipe box). After my first baby Maia was born I purchased the Sweat app and did Kayla Itsines’s BBG 1 & 2 to get back 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
Postnatal depression, lockdown depression, or am I just very tired?
Week 9 of lockdown. I have had some very, very low moments in the past two months. I feel embarrassed to even admit it (to the point I almost didn’t publish this post) because apart from the coronavirus and the global pandemic, I’m living the life I always dreamt of. And even in the lockdown Read More
