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

Last month as a baby – Maia 11-months old!
I will only have a baby for three more weeks, I can’t believe it!! Ten days ago our little Maia Olivia turned 11-months and although physically she is only 80 grams bigger than last month – now weighing 6.98kg – she’s taken huge leaps in her development into a toddler girl. I am so proud Read More
When is it the right time for baby number 2?
You might think that amidst the sleep deprivation thanks to our teething baby, a second baby would be the last thing in my mind. But funnily enough, it isn’t. On the contrary it’s been on my mind quite a lot recently. The question for us isn’t whether we want another child or not, it’s about Read More
Maia 9-months old!
Our little Maia has now been with us as long as I carried her in my belly. The past nine months have been the most emotionally overwhelming, amazing yet challenging months of my life! Nine months is a short time considering I can barely remember life without her. Nine months also feels like a short Read More
7-months old baby Maia
The other day I complained to Maia’s dad saying “Maia is getting so independent!”. He looked at me as if I’d completely lost it. In fairness it does sound a bit funny because our little girl isn’t exactly a low maintenance “I’ll just mind my own business”-kind of baby but what I meant is that Read More
6-months old baby Maia!
My happy baby girl is half way through her first year! I say happy because she has indeed been a smiley little thing recently. There was a rather fussy period before this (4-months old baby) and so I’ve really enjoyed the more content baby. I felt like Maia’s fourth and fifth months were a bit Read More
How are we sleeping with our 5-months old baby?
Sleep, or the lack of, is one of the decisive factors that determine how enjoyable life with a baby is. I’d go as far as to say it probably has an impact on family sizes too! When I’ve slept well, in relative (mum) terms at least, I truly love being a mum and being on Read More
Mum life part 5/5 – Friday
It’s Friday! The last day of the week being on my own with my baby girl. Weekends no longer mean lie-ins or dinners out but with Maia’s daddy at home during the day I can share the baby duty, I have adult company, and we usually do something nice together. But before the weekend, here Read More
Mum life part 2/5 – Tuesday
5.30am – Maia wakes up for a feed having slept nearly 6 hours since the dream feed last night (at 11pm for 45-minutes). I feed her for 20-minutes and we fall asleep on my bed and sleep for another two hours (she has another 30-minute sleepy feed around 7am). 8.00am – I wake Maia up Read More
Mum life part 1/5 – Monday
But what do you DO all day on maternity leave?? I’ve been asked this question directly and indirectly, and for sure wondered it myself before having a baby. So to shed light on what I do during my days alone at home with my 15-week (3.5 months) old baby girl, I’m kicking off a series Read More
