A Festive Photo Shoot

The other day I had the pleasure of photographing 2 gorgeous girls! They were both wonderful and full of smiles! You may recognise these 2 little lovelies from previous posts, Another Little Photo Shoot and Another Little Photo Shoot Part 2. Although little ‘Sidney’ has changed quite a bit. They grow up so fast! I thoroughly enjoyed the photo shoot and just looking at the photos makes me feel all christmassy!

Bob's Cake Decorating Debut

Bob loves baking and she has decorated many cupcakes and cookies in her 2 and a half years. This year, against my better judgement, I allowed Bob to decorate our Christmas cake. I covered the cake with marzipan and icing and then I coloured some icing for Bob to decorate it with. Bob did the rest. She chose the colours, rolled out the icing, cut out the shapes and decided where to stick them. I think she did a really [click here to read on]

We knew we had to get her one for Christmas. We bought it a few [click here to read on]

Collaging A Canvas

Although I love reviewing products, I find it much more exciting if you can do a creative post around the product instead! A few weeks ago I was sent a bottle of perfume to review. As I didn’t think photos of me wearing the perfume would make a good post, Bob and I made some rose petal perfume instead. We had a wonderful time and the post was fab!  (Well I thought so at least.) When I was asked if [click here to read on]

Is There Too Much Pressure On Mums To Have It All?

I am very lucky that I did not need to return to work after having Bob. My husband has a good job and I make enough money from blogging to make up the shortfall. Before I had Bob I worked as a teaching assistant. It would never have been feasible for me to return to this role as the cost of childcare and petrol cancelled out my wage. I was also part way through my PGCE when I fell pregnant [click here to read on]
