Toddler’s Christmas
What do you do when your child is not even 2 for Christmas? Do you still splash out on presents? Do you make the effort of taking them to Christmas events that have Santa Claus available for viewings? Is there anything she needs at this age? Maisie's first Christmas, we bought her one large gift … Continue reading Toddler’s Christmas
‘The Juggler’

1st Year nearly over!

The Mummy Feeling
Today, I was thinking most of my posts are all about Maisie's changes and all the things I look forward too... However, I feel as though I never focus on myself much since becoming a mother. I am sure most mothers feel this way as well because we are not prioritised when we have a … Continue reading The Mummy Feeling
6 month freak out!
The day has arrived that Maisie is now 6 months old. It is crazy to think my little energetic bean is 6 months already. Time has flown by.
