How has 10 weeks passed since I gave birth!! I thought I would do a blog post each week, how naive I was. I totally forgot how demanding a newborn is!! All they do is eat, sleep, pee and poop, but you forget the mental haze from no sleep!! So here is a very quick … Continue reading Nearly 10 weeks with newborn

How your other half can help
I just read this article and felt compelled to share it. I resonated with so many things he says and myself and the hubby have openly talked about what we would do differently, should we be lucky enough to have another child. I dedicate this to my brother who welcomed a new little boy last … Continue reading How your other half can help
Its hot hot hot
Its a very humid 36 degrees in London today and keeping a baby cool in this weather is really difficult. With an indoor temperture still hovering around the 27 mark at 8pm, you know theres a long night ahead! I've resorted to leaving Isobel in a nappy and light vest, but even with this, the … Continue reading Its hot hot hot

A long weekend camping
In my pre-baby life myself and my husband were determined that our lives shouldn't change that much once we had a baby. We really wanted to continue to do the things we loved with the baby such as travelling, camping, hiking and a mix of outdoor activity. So last weekend, when most people thought we … Continue reading A long weekend camping

Myself and my husband agreed between us that I would do morning drop off and he would collect … Continue reading New Routine

I am still trying to wean her from the boob, she just won't give up the night feed, even if she gets a bottle beforehand. … Continue reading A new chapter

We have decided apartment style holidays are the way forward with babies. After spending 3 nights in Arezzo in a small double room and … Continue reading Home away from home
Livin’ La Dolce Vita
Life certainly is sweet in Italy when you get served a couple of slices of apple cake for breakfast. I don’t think I have been anywhere where so much cake is served in the morning! How do Italians stay so slim?? Luckily we had planned a walking tour of Siena today, to burn off all … Continue reading Livin’ La Dolce Vita
First Family Holiday
Ciao from Italia!The day of travel started quite well when I had to wake Isobel earlier than normal. I tried a gentle approach rather than a grab from cot and trying to keep her asleep. So I turned on a light in the hall, and gently told her we were going on holidays. She slowly … Continue reading First Family Holiday
