Dear Henry
Dear Henry Today my gorgeous boy you turned 7 months old and already I have some mummy guilt over the fact that this is my first Dear Henry post whereas for your sister we were regularly updating every 3 months.

10 ways in which I am rocking motherhood
Kim from over at Oddhogg tagged me in the Rocking Motherhood tag last week. The basic idea is that you need to list 10 ways which you are rocking motherhood. Easy right? Wrong!! We're so used to seeing what it is we could do better that it's actually hard to focus on the things that we're doing ... READ MORE »

The reality of motherhood
It's gone 6:15am and this little man has finally fallen back to sleep after being up since 4am (3rd wake up) I still have bags under my eyes even though they're closed as I've not had more than 3 hours sleep a night since he was born 4 weeks ago. Puffy face and blotchy skin due to sleep ... READ MORE »
A balancing act
We're only in week 2 here of the Bean becoming Henry and joining our little family and we're still finding our feet. Needless to say I've not quite got the balance yet and found any time for blogging; I had naive notions of drafting posts in the night while I'm up doing the feeds but to be honest ... READ MORE »
when did you get so big?
I thought we were prepared for the Bean and we were. The nursery was decorated, all the missing bits purchased and I remember newborn hell well enough for it to have not been too much of a shock. However what I was not prepared for was the realisation that this little lady was no longer a baby. ... READ MORE »
