We Made Me Pao Papoose 3in1 Baby Carrier Review

As Zachary was a very quiet baby and didn't require non stop attention, I didn't really look into baby wearing. He was always content and happy in his bouncer, cot, on a blanket etc. Mia on the other hand... well.. she is very clingy and demanding and wants to be attached to me 24/7. Typical diva! That's why I was very excited when We Made Me, who are experts when it comes to baby wearing came to the rescue with their range of baby carriers!

Brand Focus: Mama Designs (Babasac, Mamascarf & Snoodie)

From all the baby brands available on the market, I love the ones with an amazing mama behind the products. Mama Designs is a brain child of a very inspirational mumtrepreneur Keira, who came up with a couple of fantastic ideas to make our 'momlife' easier. I've been using the Babasac, Mamascarf and Snoodie since last year and I wanted to share my thoughts with you.

My Breastfeeding Essentials + Encouraging Breastfeeding


I have been breastfeeding for 6 months now, with ups and downs and formula top-ups, but we're still nursing and that's the most important part. My next goal is 8 months, but ideally I would love to breastfeed Mia for at least a year. Today, I am sharing my breastfeeding essentials with you. Whether you're breastfeeding exclusively, expressing or combination feeding, I hope you find it useful.

Snuz Accessories: Bedding and Snuz Pocket


I absolutely love our SnuzPod*(review here) and I am dreading the day when I have to put it away. Mia is now 6 months old, but not crawling yet or being able to pull herself up etc, so we can still use this amazing bedside crib (our days are numbered though). To make saying goodbye to our Snuzpod even harder, I now have a stunning new set of bedding for it too, as Snuz UK released a new range of accessories for their award winning crib (and other cribs too). Not gonna lie- I want them all for Mia's cot bed.

What's In My Baby Changing Bag

If you're a mum, you will know that the amount of stuff you have to carry with you for the baby is ridiculous! I try not too take too much with me, but I usually end up with 3 bags, haha. Here's the one with all of Mia's essentials. 

La Millou accessories + giveaway

If you follow me on instagram, you will know that I am obsessed with La Millou - a brand which makes the most beautiful accessories for kids. They are mostly known for their super soft minky blankets, breastfeeding pillows, bunnies and angel wings, but they make many more incredible products for babies and kids of all ages.

Christmas Gift Guide 2015: Personalised Gifts

I love personalised gifts, as they are extra special and very thoughtful. I was recently contacted by www.ijustloveit.co.uk who asked me to pick a couple of things from their website to showcase on my blog and I opted for two little presents for Mia and Zac and a keepsake for me and Scott.

Medela Double Electric Breastpump and other Medela products to help with breastfeeding.

About 3 months ago, I started using a range of Medela products to make my breastfeeding journey easier. The main thing was the Medela Swing Maxi Double Electric Breastpump*, but I also found the harmony pump and all the little 'accessories' very useful. 

Frugi kidswear

I mentioned Frugi and their lovely breastfeeding cardigan here and I am sooo impressed with the quality. I've had it for a while now, it has been washed many times and it still looks brand new. Amazing! Mia and Zachary were kindly sent some beautiful Frugi pieces too and here they are, modelling them for the blog :) haha. It was sooo hard to get any good pictures of them together by the way. They are both super active and don't want to sit still.

Bravado Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bras

When you're breastfeeding, you can never have enough nursing bras. I have 6 and I could probably do with some more, haha :) I've tried many different designs, but my favourite ones are the two Bravado Body Silk Seamless bras*. 

Doona Accessories

As soon as I received my beautiful Doona* (review here), I had to make sure I had a matching changing bag for it. I was torn between the big All Day Bag and the Essentials Bag, but I eventually settled on the latter and ordered it from Argos. I was also kindly sent some other accessories for the Doona, so let me tell you more about them.

Personalised storage bag from My 1st Years

If you follow me on instagram, you will know that I am a huge fan of My 1st Years, who offer the most beautiful personalised baby items. From decor and toys, to babygrows, bibs and keepsakes. I placed many orders with My 1st Years in the past and they recently kindly asked, if I would like to review something on the blog. I've had my eye on the Personalised Grey Star Storage Bag* (£40.00) for ages, so it was one of my top choices. 

SnüzPod 3 in 1 bedside crib review.


With babies being the most demanding little creatures on earth, every little helps. From bouncy chairs and swings to bedside cribs. I am so glad these became available, as they make life of a new mum so much easier. There aren't many bedside cribs to choose from to be honest, but I've loved the look and the idea of the beautiful SnüzPod* since the moment I first discovered it during my pregnancy.

Breastfeeding: Q&A with Medela's Lactation Consultant

As promised, I am continuing my breastfeeding series and today I have a Q&A with Medela's Lactation Consultant Sioned. I asked her some questions about combination feeding, increasing your milk supply and advice for the early days of breastfeeding. I hope you enjoy it.

Doona Car Seat/Stroller review

When it comes to reviews, I always try to find pros and cons and I also try not too come across as an overexcited toddler, haha :) But... with the Doona infant car seat/pushchair*, I just want to scream: OMG! I LOVE IT! Everyone needs one! What is this magic and why didn't I have one for Zachary? Seriously - it is life changing and I am not exaggerating! Just have a look at the gif below and if you are a parent, you will know what I mean.

Breastfeeding: My story with Zachary

Breastfeeding my children was the only option I have ever considered and I assumed that it would just happen and that I won't have any problems. Well... I was wrong... I have been meaning two write about my breastfeeding journey with Zachary for absolute ages, but I have been putting it off for years. Yes... YEARS! I waited so long, that I now have another baby and a totally different, yet similar breastfeeding story to talk about, but... better late than never!

Mia's DIY newborn photoshoot


I have always loved photography, so DIY newborn photoshoots were on the cards with both of my babies :) Plus... it saved me some pennies too. If you have a digital SLR, or even an normal digital camera or and iPhone and the most simple editing software (optional), you can do it yourself! 

Frugi Breastfeeding Waterfall Cardigan Review

When it comes to breastfeeding, it is totally hassle free in regards of 'prep'. No bottles, no sterilising, no formula etc. It does require slight adjustments in the wardrobe department though, but thankfully you don't have to spend a fortune. Investing in a couple of good quality key pieces is all you need and this lovely waterfall cardigan by Frugi* (£55.00) is a great start.

1 month baby & mummy update

Hi everyone. It's been a while since I last posted, but it has been a crazy couple of weeks and I am still adjusting to life with 2 kids. Between breastfeeding, pumping milk, topping up with formula, changing nappies, looking after my toddler, doing housework, cooking, replying to emails and spamming everyone with pictures of Mia on instagram, I end up having no time and energy left for my blog. I consider my blog my 3rd baby, so I have to find time for it pronto! I miss is as well, so it's not going to be forced, don't worry :) I am just very relaxed about it at the moment. Although... my 'to blog' product pile is getting out of control.

My baby girl is here!

Yep! I had my baby at 35 weeks! She just couldn't wait to be here :) If you follow me on instagram, you will know that I was admitted to the hospital on my 28th birthday (15.07), because I started bleeding all of a sudden.
