Welcome to another little round-up of my week. I really enjoy doing these posts, it’s so nice to look back at the week and take stock of everything we have been doing.
REAL LIFE
- My favourite photo is Little N playing with one of his cars. I was just playing with my camera and caught it by accident – the best kind of photo, I think!
- We’ve been to an Active Tots class and have been making the most of the garden.
- The boys’ Nanny (my dad’s partner) came to visit and so did my Nanna (my boys’ great-Nanna!)
- I’ve sent another batch of expressed milk off to the milk bank. My time as a donor will be coming to an end when J turns one!
- We have chosen a wedding date! Stay tuned for wedding planning updates coming soon.
BLOG LIFE
- I’ve reached 800 followers on Instagram – you can follow me here.
- I’m planning a redesign of my blog – nothing too drastic but hopefully an improvement!
- My inbox is fit to burst as I have several new brands I’ll be working with over the coming weeks which I can’t wait to introduce you to, including another brand ambassadorship, and a couple of new giveaways, too.
- My most popular post this week is the Maple Holistics review and giveaway – have you entered?
- My favourite post this week is Sarah’s natural c-section birth story. It’s just wonderful!
- Reviews I’ve posted recently: Fisher-Price Smart Stages Scooter, Maple Holistics Shampoo & Conditioner, Fisher-Price Smart Stages Toolbox.
What have you been up to this week?
What with expressing, wedding planning, reviewing, partnering and family life ... tell me you have time for a glass of wine?! Incredible list xx #TheList
ReplyDeleteHaha no sadly wine is the one thing that never finds its way into my schedule!x
DeleteWow that is a busy week! So amazing that you give away your milk, I just would never have thought to do that xx
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that it never occurred to me after my first baby, but once I learned about milk donors I just had to do it x
DeleteLovely post. I agree that photo is fab, my toddler is a big fan of cars and I love capturing him lost in play. Yay for the wedding, so exciting. I gave you a follow on Instagram. I would love to become a milk donor with my next baby, it's such a special thing to be able to do. Have a lovely week,

DeleteI love round up posts, I tend to do a monthly one but it's great to see a weekly one which includes your top post and your fave post you've read too. x
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely x
DeleteThe photo of your little boy is lovely. I never knew you could be a milk donor? How things have changed since my children were little x
ReplyDeleteThank you Cathy :) Milk banks have been around for a long time but still not many people know about them x

DeleteIt sounds like a lovely week! What an amazing thing to do with your milk! So generous x
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim, that is a lovely thing to say x
DeleteBusy lovely week! I admire you for taking your milk to the milk bank. I've breastfed four babies and still haven't done it. Would've liked to, but I always prioritised other things. A selfless thing to do, nice one.
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely! If I had 4 children I am not sure I would have time to express :) x
DeleteI love the natural photos the best too, you get the real smiles! Well done on 800 instagram followers!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much x
DeleteI love this idea! Re designs are exciting no matter how small, its strange but I think they make such a difference to getting your inspiration back sometimes! x
ReplyDeleteI agree and I hope it Spurs my motivation a bit more x
DeleteI've seen other bloggers do this each week, and it's something I keep meaning to do myself. I think I'm going to have to start doing this soon, it might help me to focus a bit more on my life, which I feel is a bit out of control :/ x
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear your life feels out of control :( I do think a little round up post does help a bit x
DeleteSounds like a busy week! Can't believe how big Little N is getting!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it myself sometimes! Time is flying x
DeleteI love that you still send milk off to the donor bank, do you ever get to find out how many babies benefit? x
ReplyDeleteI don't find out no, but I know it gets used quickly and they are always in need of more!x
DeleteI like the idea of blog update, it gives you something to focus on and look back at! Great!
ReplyDeleteIt does, sometimes I feel a bit lost but a round up refocuses me x
DeleteI love the idea of a little weekly roundup, i'll have to give it a try. x
ReplyDeleteYay! I love to read other people's round up posts x
DeleteI like roundup posts like these, I can never seem to keep them up! Congrats on reaching 800 followers :)
