Back in October, Jake and I took to the streets of Newcastle (and a bit of Gateshead) with our new Stokke Trailz as part of the fab Stokke On The Go project with Made For Mums, showing off their iconic pushchairs in iconic UK locations. There are few more iconic sights for a Geordie than… Continue reading Exploring Newcastle with Stokke On The Go
We have had some simply shocking weather over the Christmas holidays – it has been wet, windy and just not very pleasant to be outside. So when we had an unexpectedly sunny day between Christmas and New Year, we seized the opportunity for Joe to have a go with the new bell on his scooter… Continue reading baby’s big day out featuring george at asda

So last week a couple of things happened that made me a little sad. One was that Jake, at 15 weeks old, was now wearing 6-9 month size clothes, causing me to bag up all his smaller bits he would no longer need. The other was that my not so little bundle of joy was… Continue reading the last firsts
With a 12 week old, my initial thought for B was Baby, but some of my favourite photos of Jake are when he is with his big brother. They can be heart-meltingly cute together.

Now I’m coming out of the newborn haze a bit and I’m back into blogging again, I’ve resolved to… Continue reading the alphabet photography project: a is for art

Before Joe started school this month and Daddy also had to go back to work after his well-timed teacher’s summer holiday of paternity leave, we made the most of our… Continue reading review: a summer of babymule adventures

What do you get up to during the obligatory night feeds? You join me in the… Continue reading things to do at 4am
I don’t imagine there are many women who give birth to a 10lb+ baby and emerge completely unscathed. Despite having the birth experience I had wanted in the birthing pool, the quick progress of my labour and sheer size of Baby Jake at 10lb 2oz meant that I would have a much tougher time of… Continue reading a difficult postnatal recovery… and moving on
