2 and Counting


This week May-May reached 2 years old and I can't believe how far she has come with her development. She has got a cheeky personality and she dances to anything randomly. For her birthday we got a first words book. She has managed to recite most of the book by memory and whenever she sees any of the items, she shouts out the word. 

For her birthday, me and Mics took her out for the day to Eureka Museum, which is a children’s museum that gives them a real-world experience. She absolutely loved it there! Her favourite room was the Sensory Section. It was a huge, dark room and the walls were an interactive magical kingdom. The floor was an interactive under the sea and when May-May stepped on certain areas, sensory eels would swim towards her feet.


There was also a M&S store for children with plastic fruit and vegetables. I adored how she was pushing the trolley as if she was shopping. She then had a go with the cars as well, pretending to drive and making the engine noises. The All About Me section was another hit, and May-May enjoyed pretending to brush the teeth with the big toothbrush. There was so much for her to do there and the food was amazing.


When we got back, we had a small party with May-May’s grandparents, aunty and uncle. She opened her presents, we sang happy birthday (4 times!) and she loved her Hey Duggee cake. Her 2nd birthday was amazing and I’m glad we did something small, but memorable.

Let the 2nd year adventure begin!

Thanks for reading

Almost A Year In

I havent blogged for a while as it has been such a busy few months. In that time I have seen May-May grow into such a cute and cheeky child with such a bubbly personality. She makes the best effort to try and stand and every chance she gets she is trying to balance herself to stand up straight. She laughs each time she falls and has learnt to stand up leaning against the sofa and is already make sounds as if she is speaking. May-May has also been trying to teach herself to walk and she has picked up walking with support quite rapidly. I'm amazed how dedicated she is to teach herself these skills. We bought her a jumperoo for xmas and she absolutely loves using it as it is helping to support her posture. I feel she will be walking without support very soon and I am so proud of her. After months of sleepless nights and commitment to giving her the best possible start in life, its moments like this that totally make parenting worth it. Next weekend May-May is going to be 1....

Guest Post: Pregnancy Journey by Life Coach Sam

This weeks pregnancy journey is by Samantha Abraham . Her journey had me laughing and i'm sure you will do the same! I gave birth to my beautiful baby number 5 at the beginning of January this year. I have 2 boys aged 21 and 8 years as well as 2 girls aged 7&5. Baby No.5 came as a huge but pleasant surprise after having decided not to have any more and quitting my job to create a start-up. Having passed the stages of denial I finally take a pregnancy test... Reality sets in and my husband and I are now passed staring at each other in silence which goes on to last a couple of months.   This eventually moves into us having conversations about our worries and what we need to do to plan for this.... unplanned, untimely pleasant little gift with the power of scaring us half to death!!! ... At some point among the madness, we do the maths and work out as tradition would have it....our little gift really was a gift!!!...as in that we worked out th...

Getting Used To My 1 Year Olds Changes

Since my daughter has turned one it has been a task adapting to the changes in her body as she is experiencing teething for her back teeth. Night times have been hard as May-May struggles to settle at night and is so used to night breast feeds. This is the time i find it difficult as May-May just wants to be on mum most of the time when she is going through the pain. May-May generally is really bubbly and is interested in anything she gets her hands on. We have fun with her facial expressions and when tries to talk its so adorable. I feel a bit helpless as when i try to calm her down May-May d oesn't seem to want to respond and I would then have to give her back to her mum. My partner is so good with May-May and I can see there are times when she needs a break but never really gets the chance due to May-Mays clinginess. When i come home from work I try to help as much as I can by doing housework and cooking and cleaning but i still feel like I can't help as muc...
