“How to Choose a Perfume for Your Little One & What to Consider” is a collaborative post. As a parent, it’s important to be mindful of the products you use on your toddlers. From the food they eat to the toys they play with, every decision can impact their health and well-being. This is especially true when it comes to choosing personal care products like perfumes.

3 things I wish I’d done differently with my third baby

Welcome back, my friend! Today’s share is all about the 3 things I wish I’d done differently with my third baby. There are plenty of things I’m glad I did with my babies, but equally there are lots of things I wish I’d done differently, especially with my third baby – Lydia – who seemed more delicate a baby than my first two. Hindsight is a beautiful thing, and we learn by making mistakes. All babies are different, and with each baby we learn something new. It’s how we grow as parents! So without further ado, here are the 3 things I wish I’d done differently with my third baby. 3 things I wish I’d done differently with my third baby 1.

How to protect your baby’s skin in winter

Welcome back my friend! The UK is currently experiencing a cold snap, with bitter freezing fog, snow flurries and sub zero temperatures making most of us feel like heading under our duvets! It goes without saying that you’ll be wondering how to protect your baby’s skin in winter. We all know our baby’s skin needs protection in winter, but what makes baby skin so sensitive? Well, baby skin is actually more permeable and prone to dryness than adult skin – so it needs more protection. Did you know that baby skin loses water faster than adult skin, too? Unfortunately for our little ones, their skin is more susceptible to damage from the environment, which can cause wider problems. A breakdown of the outermost layer of the skin can cause atopic dermatitis, leading to allergies. With all this in mind, your baby definitely needs her beautiful skin protecting this winter! And…

It’s your 4th birthday, Cara!

Dear Cara, Every time I write your birthday letter, I’m never lost for words. You are so full of personality and life. You are unashamedly strong, brave, and bold. It’s your 4th birthday, Cara, and we’re so happy to celebrate with you! This year, I’m remembering how we made the most of every moment in our new garden over summer – we shot water bombs, giggled and splashed in our paddling pool, and gazed at the clouds from the trampoline, exhausted from bouncing. When we’re not at home, the beach is your favourite place to be, and you’re always wearing shorts. In fact, you’re still wearing them in November! You have a real eye for choosing your own clothes and rarely let me choose your clothes or dress you. You totally own it! Sometimes we end up with some unique style choices, but they’re all your own. You still love…

Happy 1st Birthday, Lydia!

To my dear Lydia, Your first birthday is here, and how we’ve loved being your mummy and daddy for a whole year. What a little treasure you are. Happy 1st birthday, Lydia! Tiny sweetheart, you came into the world so peacefully. Our third child, you’re so happy and contented. You remain utterly sweet natured and so amicable, despite me feeling like you’ve had less attention than your siblings did at your age. Jonah and Cara absolutely dote on you. And even though we moved house this year, we still managed to squeeze in time for baby massage, and baby yoga, which I didn’t do with the others when they were small. Thinking about our house move, I’m so glad we did it. You’ll soon be taking your first steps in our garden. Your brother and sister only had a yard at your age and the garden has so much to…

Petite Amélie Kids Teepee & Baby Play Mat review

Welcome back, dear friend! Today I’m so excited to share my children’s latest love. It’s the Petite Amélie Kids Teepee & Baby Play Mat! Back in June last year, we tried out the Petite Amélie Dolls House. It’s still one of my kids’ favourite toys – and mine, too. So naturally, I was delighted to hear from the brand again. There are so many beautifully crafted furniture, toy, and bedroom items to choose from in the Petite Amélie store. I knew right away that my middle daughter Cara would love their childrens teepee more than anything else. At 3 years old, she loves to hide and to take herself away for quiet moments in her new bedroom. The teepee makes the most perfect getaway! Baby Lydia, too, enjoys the soft baby play mat inside and outside of the teepee. The baby play mat makes the perfect companion to the teepee…

Jonah is 6 ~ happy birthday Jonah!

To my dear Jonah, Happy birthday to you, my eldest son. Many people would say that you are quiet and sensitive – and that’s certainly true. But you also have a silly and funny side that cracks me up. You’re quite unique, a little bit alternative. I love that! You definitely stand out amongst your friends. At 6 years old, you are so inquisitive. You want the answers to everything and you ask lots of questions about the world around us. It’s so humbling and rekindles my interest in the world, too. I definitely learn something new! Every year, around the time of your birthday, I write a letter to you. I talk all about you at 6 years old – your loves, likes, and what you spend your time doing. Of course, I share the proud mummy milestones too. The day you were born was one of the most…
