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

Tuesday
There is a lot of routine in my daily life with the kids and especially during the coronavirus pandemic it has felt like every day repeats the last. But although life feels repetitive it’s not boring. With small kids nothing stays the same for very long and soon I won’t even remember what this stage Read More
The first month with a newborn baby
It’s been seven weeks since our little Noah Oliver was born. I can’t decide whether it’s “only seven weeks” or “already seven weeks”. So much has happened and yet not much at all! Life with a newborn is like Groundhog Day – a continuum of feeding, burping, nappy changing, and sleeping (or trying to sleep). 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
10-months old baby Maia!
Not really a baby anymore, my girl is 10-months old! Or ten and half to be exact. For the last 10-days we’ve been fighting off a nasty cold but Maia is finally better. Which of course means that I have life outside snot rags and Calpol again, ha ha! Jokes aside, it’s been heart breaking Read More
8-months old baby Maia – a busy bee with teeth
We are back home and holidays are over! This summer we had exceptionally long holidays because of our wedding – we were away from home for nearly four weeks over the summer! Amidst all of the travelling, our baby girl turned 8-months old – already three weeks ago. Over the summer she has developed into 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
Why mums disappear
Being the first couple of our London friends to have a baby isn’t ideal. While our friends have of course been super excited and happy for us, it’s been very difficult to keep in touch with friends and to attend the gatherings and social events ever since Maia was born. It’s nobody’s fault. Before actually Read More
Shopping for baby clothes
(Sponsored post) I’ve never liked shopping. I love new stuff like the next girl but I rarely enjoy the process of searching for new clothes. While I can quite happily wear the same stuff year after year just to avoid shopping sprees, my baby girl can’t. She is growing as babies do and we need Read More
Calm after storm – First summer week with Maia
After three challenging weeks we suddenly had the best week of my maternity leave so far! They do say “it’s the darkest before dawn” and that seems to be true! 🙂 Winter was very long this year and even the beginning of April was pretty miserable in London. Add to that a baby struggling with Read More
