Welcome to another month of the Home life project. We’ve had a mixed weekend here. Saturday we went to Trentham gardens and had a lovely day exploring in the sunshine. Sunday was a much slower day at home. I thought I would use my photos from Saturday as this month’s Home Life Project but as […]

I’ve enjoyed photography for many years now but since E was born in June, I have used my “big” camera (a canon 400d) a lot less. With all the things that we take out for the day with two young children, I rarely want to take my DSLR too. I taught myself to shoot manually […]

Sometimes the unpredictability is hard or frustrating but I know it gets easier and I’m enjoying lots of newborn cuddles. She’s started smiling […]

View this post on Instagram Milk drunk. Think she is finally getting the hang of feeding. Longest feed yet , quickest latch and shortest gap from last feed. After having to syringe feed her for almost 24 hours this is such a relief. A post shared by Claire – Outdoor kids blogger (@ladybirdsadventures) on Jun […]

I shared the contents of my hospital bag last week. Today it’s time for me to show you what I have packed for baby. Like I mentioned in my hospital bag post, baby’s first outfit and nappy are in my bag but this is what we might need during our stay. I’ve packed it in […]

My hospital bags have been packed a couple of weeks now so I thought I would share with you what is in both my bag and in our baby’s bag (post coming later this week). My bag has everything I could need during labour and for me during our hospital stay (which I hope will […]
