Mamamade weaning

We’re in full swing weaning with our second daughter Ottie at the moment, but to be honest, I wasn’t really looking forward to it.  Weaning was not my favourite time with our eldest daughter Eva. I really loved preparing the food for her and had so much fun making a mess! But she had multiple…

What to pack in your hospital bag: A checklist

Eva’s 1st Birthday Party

This weekend we celebrated Eva’s very first birthday! We were surrounded by friends and family, cake and wine and the birthday girl had the best time despite having a cold (which we now all have of course).

I wanted to put together a little blog post with a few photos…

Farewell Maternity Leave

And just like that, a year has flown by! I’m officially back at work and trying my best to be a normal, functioning human being. The weirdest thing about it is how normal it feels already. Thank goodness for that!
