Having young children you can imagine how mucky the carpets in my home can get. Food, drinks, mud, paint, make-up... I'm forever wiping something up. Yet even when carpets look clean, there can still be dirt and germs lurking deep within the carpet fibres that vacuum cleaners just can't reach. Every few months I borrow my in-laws' carpet cleaner and give the carpets a deep clean. I'm always amazed, and slightly horrified, at how dirty the water is when it comes out. I was so excited when my very own carpet cleaner arrived: the VAX Dual Power Pro. Now I can deep clean or spot clean my carpets and floors whenever I want!

Last summer I had the pleasure of trying out several products from the Holistic Kitchen's gorgeous range which you can read all about here. Holistic Kitchen is the creation of Sallyanne, a massage therapist who drew on her knowledge and expertise to handcraft a range of household and skincare products made with natural, raw ingredients. Snooze Balm is Holistic Kitchen's best selling product and I was kindly sent some to try.

Welcome to Happy Days! Katy and I host this linky with the purpose of inspiring you to make the most of each day, no matter what you've been up to, and to find happiness in every day. It's where I share the little moments that have brought me joy.
As I write this I'm not in a particularly happy place; I received some upsetting news mid-week and I'm struggling. A lot. But we have had a lot of happy moments this week too and it's important not to let those memories get lost.

Little N's preschool is closed this week for half term, so instead of doing the school run yesterday we had a slow morning, followed by a trip to dentist for the boys' checkups and then we headed to February Frolics at Willows Activity Farm for the afternoon.

Ever since Joules opened a store near me, the boys' wardrobes are fast becoming filled with their gorgeous clothing. I have been browsing the latest items from the Joules range as half term is upon us, so Little N will be out of his preschool uniform for the week. Here's a selection of my favourite boyswear from Joules, perfect for staying warm and comfortable whilst playing and exploring over half term.

For Valentine's Day Expedia invited me to take part in their World On A Plate 'Love' Campaign, and asked me to cook up a meal idea based on one of their European holiday destinations. I chose
France as my romantic destination inspiration, they are home to the language of love after all! Expedia sent me a hamper of goodies and a voucher to get me started, and I got thinking back to the things I used to love eating when I holidayed in the south of France.

Over the past year or so my blog has become super busy. I have a steady stream of work, which is great, but working from home when you have two small children presents some challenges! I don't want to be attached to my laptop while looking after my family so I try to do most things in the evenings or at the weekend. Last year Ian got me a tablet for my birthday. It makes it so much easier to organise my home life and work life.

I absolutely love reading birth stories as every experience is so unique, and after sharing my own two very different birth experiences [emergency c-section and natural VBAC] I decided to ask other mums and dads to share their beautiful birth stories with me, too. If you’d like to share your birth story, send me an email or get in touch via Twitter or Facebook.
Like me, Claire from Life, Love and Dirty Dishes also had two very different birth experiences. Here she shares the birth story of her second baby, while you can read the birth story of her first baby over on her blog.

A few months ago I stumbled across Lottie & Lysh on social media and instantly got major heart eyes over their gorgeous and unique children's clothing. They were looking for brand reps at the time so I entered my boys and, would you believe it, they were picked! Over the coming weeks I'll be showing you my favourite shots of the boys styling their Lottie & Lysh gear, starting with their coordinating monoskulls leggings.
