#ad Disclosure - I was sent these products from Getting Personal.co.uk in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are our own. I was feeling a bit guilty after the little guy was born, as I didn't have anything too personal to commemorate him. After the gremlin was born, I bought a personalised necklace where we had to get prints of her hands and feet to go on it. Then when Piglet came along she was sent a lovely blanket and I ordered a floating locket and later on another necklace with her name on. But what about the little man? When I was contacted to review some ...

Little Tikes Big Car Carrier – **Review**
#ad - Disclosure - we were provided with the Little Tikes Big Car Carrier in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are our own. I have never really given little Piglet the chance to play with cars. The gremlin had some bought for her but she was never really interested at all! Just went straight for her dolls and imaginary games. I was curious to see if Piglet would be these so when we were offered this Little Tikes Big Car Carrier I said yes, to see if she would want to have a play! I guess she has been influenced by her sister a lot and the toys already ...
Musical Beds – Why I changed my Thoughts on Co-Sleeping
When I had the gremlin, everything about parenting seemed very black and white. There was no middle ground. I wanted to breastfeed, I didn’t want to carry my baby around and there was absolutely no way I was going to do co-sleeping! It was dangerous, I didn’t want my baby in bed, as it was a place for hubby and I only and I wasn’t letting a BABY dictate where it was sleeping. Yes. I was an idiot. Slap me now. Judgemental cow. The little guy has arrived and my thoughts on co- sleeping have been well and truly reversed. From day 1 he refused to settle in his crib or Moses ...
Today Has Been a A Bad Day
Sometimes when I have a shit day with one of the kids, I do find it cathartic to blog. It was the main reason I started blogging...to write! It's good to get my feelings down; my frustrations and just general meh! I also think telling other people you have had a shit day, especially parents, can be helpful, as we all have them. Kids are feral. Kids are fickle. Kids change from one day to the next, so I know tomorrow is likely to be better (I'm hoping!) I'm sat writing this with the little guy in bed next to me and white noise blasting out of my phone. He's asleep but it feels like it had ...
Disney for Me – Then and Now with shopDisney
#ad disclosure - I was provided with these items from shopDisney in exchange for a post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. When I was a child going to see the latest Disney film was so exciting. There was a countdown until we went and I’d come out afterwards completely buzzing. I feel really old reminiscing this as films were just so different then. You’d see them at the cinema and feel like you had to wait an age before they came out on video!! And of course I’d want some on them on VHS the day they hit the shops. Disney just used to make me so happy. If someone asked me to tell ...
10 Things I’d Forgotten About Breastfeeding a Newborn
For every child I have had, I seem to forget so much about the newborn stage and breastfeeding is no exception. I find this amazing, as you can't remember so repeat and have another child, in almost blissful ignorance. I never expected to breastfeed all three of my babies. I wanted to and luckily it kind of just happened with my second and third. The gremlin was that little more challenging! So far breastfeeding the little guy is going well. He took to feeding almost immediately after being born and hasn't really stopped. There are so many joys to breastfeeding, as well as the slightly ...
