https://www.instagram.com/p/BHjuMpLg4my/?taken-by=ladybirdsadventures The tiny ladybird turned 4 weeks old yesterday. She is doing well. She was weighed last Friday and was 7lb 12oz which meant she had gained 12oz in a week. She’s earned herself the nickname of milk monster. Sometimes she doesn’t even go and hour between feeds. Thankfully she does go a few longer […]

As I mentioned a while back, I am considering using cloth nappies with E. I’m waiting a little longer to decide as she is too small for birth to potty nappies. I want to be sure I can keep up with the washing and drying before I commit to the initial outlay. Read on to […]

Another week, another little loves. We’ve done lots of decorating, tidying and sorting out in the house this week. I think we are at the point now, where if the baby did come early we would manage. Don’t get me wrong we still have plenty that still needs doing in the next few weeks but […]

This week has been another busy one. We had a party for the ladybird’s third birthday party on Sunday and I did my last 2 days in work Monday and Tuesday so I am now officially off work until June 2017! Wednesday I met a friend in the park and also got ready for us […]

Read I don’t think I’ve read a single story all the way through to my daughter this week. I’m lucky if I’ve read 2 sentences before she turns the page or most likely shuts the book and hands me another declaring “this one”. The photo below is a very common sight at the end of […]

A few weeks back I went fabric shopping looking for some fabric to make a knot cushion (from Mollie makes mag) for my daughter’s room. I spotted this beautiful fabric by Rose and Hubble and knew I had to buy a meter. It was not suited to the knot cushion and at the time I […]

I’ve recently taken up sewing again. My great aunt taught me to sew as a teenager and I also took classes at school. Apart from making a cushion for the ladybird’s nursery, 2 and a half years ago, I’ve not used a sewing machine in at least 15 years. Now that we have a bit […]

Read Both myself and my husbands enjoy reading and we hope to pass this love of books on to our daughter. I try to read to her at least before nap and bedtime each day. We also keep a few book downstairs so that she can pick them out during the day if she wants. […]
