BABY FREE CHILL DAY @ CHAMPNEYS SPRINGS DAY SPA

I am a firm believer that every Mum (and Dad, I'm not bias here!) needs time to wind down and to remember what life was like before they had a tiny toddler clinging to their thigh and slobbering all over them - god love them though. Fortunately, for my birthday my lovely boyfriend volunteered to keep the small one alive for the day whilst I did some serious relaxing. So off I trotted, gym gear, swimwear and book in hand ready for the kind of peace and quiet I had craved for a year and half.

THEO | 18 MONTHS

Wow! The last post I wrote about Theo was back in October when he was 10 months old. It contained his love of his jumperoo and how he had started standing up. How things change! Now this little chatterbox won't stop walking or talking! So here, is our 18 month update for my crazy one and half year old. My mucky faced munckin is no longer a baby.

PLANNING A 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY - AND WHAT I LEARNT FROM IT

This post is coming to you a little late so I've had plenty of time to reflect: make that 6 months late! Oops! However I thought that passing on my experience of how planning a - completely inappropriate but lovely nonetheless - 1st birthday party panned out - and also share some pictures because I didn't get chance to at the time.

I attended a lot of 1st birthday parties last year and since I didn't have a baby shower or a Christening I decided to go ahead and celebrate Theo's 1st birthday big. But obviously, as birthdays of all ages do, it didn't exactly go to plan.

A FRESH START

Sometimes in life, you feel the need to reinvent. Like getting a new hair cut that you instantly regret or taking up a new hobby that you give up after 2 weeks. Fortunately for me, refreshing my blog is a lot easier than refreshing myself.
