We’ve all been a bit under the weather recently with coughs, colds and bugs. After another restless night (with Adam coming down with a bug now!) we’ve all retreated back to bed for a couple of hours, even the dogs have joined us! (Don’t worry, Luna’s perfectly clean now since her poop rolling incident yesterday 🙄🤪)

💕 4 M O N T H S 💕

Four months (well, a few days over), little man, and what a four months it’s been. From the highs of getting to know you, to the lows of saying goodbye to your grandma. To say our lives have been changed forever would be an understatement.

You’ve been such a tonic in recent weeks, reminding us all that life does, indeed, go on. Flashing your smile at the perfect moments, gifting us with laugh-out-loud poonamis, and even distracting me with your teething & sleep regression troubles.

This wasn’t how I’d imagined your early months to be, not at all. And I hope I’ve still been the mum you needed despite everything that’s been going on. I’ve been short tempered at times, and I’m sorry for that, but I have a life time to make up for it.

This was the last month your grandma saw you, and you should know how much she adored you.

🍃 I got buzzfed! Last week I noticed a rush on my monstera leaf coasters, and it turns out they’ve been featured in a buzzfeed article 🙌🏻 the last time this happened it was with my terrarium pin & I had to spend several evenings packing up the orders, it’s such a lovely little boost for a small business 😌 this weekend Adam has been cutting lots of coaster sets and boxes to fulfil the orders 💕👍🏻 Right now though we’re down at my Dad’s cooking a roast dinner, how’s your Sunday going?

Eli’s third Halloween outfit! 😅 What can I say? Dressing your kids in fun costumes has to be one of the main reasons for procreating, right? 🦇🦇🦇 This Halloween we’re starting one of our new family traditions, each year we’ll be giving Eli a spooky book on Halloween… obviously starting with the more spoopy than spooky stuff while he’s little. This year’s book, I am Bat by @moraghood, even matches his little chubby bat outfit (as crafty as I am, I couldn’t find the time or energy to DIY one this year, Adam picked this up at Target instead). I honestly can’t wait until he’s old enough to really appreciate Halloween and we can play fun games, bake gruesome cakes and go trick or treating! 😍

Happy Howl-oween! I didn’t manage to get costumes sorted for the dogs this year with everything that’s been happening, so a reshare from last year will have to do 🧙‍♀️ I still need to get some goodies for the trick or treaters, probably a good thing leaving that late because I tend to just eat them before the big day otherwise 😅😬😬😬 Eli’s a bit too little for door knocking this year, but we’ve still got him an outfit 😍🦇

#ad (paid, gifted product) | I've always been pretty good at self-care, never missing dental appointments, making sure I'm getting my five a day and getting my hair cut when it starts to annoy me. Since Eli was born I've let some of those things slip, and it's taken me until now to start getting back on the self-care train. Here's my current self-care starter kit! I'm making sure to stay hydrated, something I've been really bad at in the past but so important now that I'm breastfeeding, I try and keep my water bottle full and next to me all the time. My iPhone is always with me, too, I know 'screen time' gets a bad rep but it's been such a lifeline while stuck under a feeding baby - my new mama Instagram & WhatsApp groups have been so valuable! I'm trying to get back into reading, something I used to do every night pre-baby, it's an easy thing to let slip but something I really enjoy. Making sure I cleanse and moisturise my face each night definitely makes me feel more human & gives me a few minutes to myself. We've been meal planning again to make sure we're not just eating whatever beige comfort food lurks in the freezer! I've started taking post-natal vitamins in the shape of @Vitabiotics Pregnacare for breastfeeding, these will help keep me in tip-top condition for looking after the wee man, running two businesses, and dealing with whatever else life throws at me! And finally, spending fun playtime with Eli is one of my favourite self-care routines right now. It's so easy as a new mama to focus on the hard parts and not take full advantage of the fun parts, seeing your baby smile at your stupid faces is one of the most uplifting things in the world! #IAmPregnacare #Pregnacare #EveryStepofTheWay #vitabiotics
