Vintage Peacock Embroidered Dress Set £69
Finlay Fox went to the launch of the new baby wear label, Lala & Zizo, in Portobello last week. The collection has been lovingly created by Vickie El Rayyes, who has poured her heart and soul into these beautiful pieces. There is a real trend to heirloom and heritage these days with people wanting to buy less and invest more in pieces that will last and can be handed down.

Sleep deprivation - always a hot topic when you have babies and kids! Sleep (or lack of) is consistently one of the first things that gets bought up when you meet up with a mum friend or someone comes to visit.

I recently attended the British Red Cross First Aid for Baby and Child course. I cannot recommend it highly enough! If you are a parent or carer please do this course, even if it's a refresher as things do change (such as conflicting info on how to deal with choking these days) and it is easy to forget the overload of information.

So Violet is now 2 months old and I thought it would be the right time to tell you about how we are finding it going from 1 to 2 children (so far). I wanted it to be an honest account from both mine and Liam's perspective so we have both written it, seperately, without seeing what each other has written....you can see his point of view in part 2 of this post here.

....I think was actually a bigger challenge and shock than having 1. You obviously kind of know what you are doing this time around (except for all the things that your brain has forced you to forget) but it’s having a little toddler running around while trying to remember how to change a newborn’s nappy that becomes a handful.

Finn recently turned three and we threw him a dinosaur themed birthday party. I think this will be the last year we can get away with a small gathering at home (why are even these small gatherings so exhausting?!) with just a few pals over- next year we will need more space and have to hire somewhere out.

I've been wanting to write this post for a while now as I know it's a hot topic amongst my mum friends. I suffered (and still do!) from it with Finn and now having a newborn again it's really bought it home - mum guilt.

It's crazy to think I gave birth nearly 3 weeks ago now, it seems like much longer ago! I know not everyone likes to read or hear about giving birth but I am keen to document mine and I also hope its fairly positive considering it ended up being an unplanned home birth!
