July Baby Girl Clothing Haul

 

Hi Guys

Today I thought I would share with you some bits of clothing which I have picked Jess up in the month of July. I have decided that I would like to do monthly clothing hauls to show you what is available for girls of similar ages and also so you can see what I have purchased. I might even include eBay purchase as eBay is a place which I purchase a lot of her clothes. The reason behind this is because she wears the for such a short amount of time also a reason is because at the moment we are trying to pick up clothes which it doesn't matter if she ruins when she goes to nursery.

What We Did In July


Hi Guys

I can't believe a whole month has past since I wrote the last one of these. Where is this year going it seems to be going at a rapid speed. Since the last update I just want to say thank you because during the month of July we managed to hit 300 followers on Instagram which is something we wouldn't have been able to do if it hadn't been for you.

July has been a quite busy month in parts and then we have had some really quiet time as well which we both needed because we have been getting so tired with the heat making us not sleep very well at all also just before the heat started Jess was having problems with her teeth.

Five Under £5 July 2016

 

Hi Guys

Today I am joining in with my first ever link up post which was created by the lovely Julia who blogs at Rainbeaubelle. I have seen the Vicki from Letstalkbeauty do this for a few months and I thought this is something I would be interested in sharing as well. The aim of it is to share 5 items which you have purchased that month which have cost less than £5 items which normally may not have made it into a haul. This month I have decided to pick items which I have purchased for Jess as I haven't really purchased much for me under £5.

#ScarsUncovered With Bio-Oil Plus Giveaway

 
Hi Guys

Today I have a different kind of post for you it is personal one it also includes a giveaway at the end if you keep on reading. During my pregnancy with Jess my body obviously changed shape a fair bit but due to the fact that I one did not know I was pregnant could not apply all the oils and lotions to my bump which you should if you want to avoid stretchmarks. Also because of the fact that it was only around the last month which I gained the weight rapidly I gain multiple stretchmarks. It was not only stretchmarks which I gain due to the fact that I had a c section it means that I also have this scar as well to deal with. 1 in 3 women are actually affected by scarring today I am going to share my stories about scarring.

Emergency Travel Sickness Bag


 

Hi Guys

Today I thought I would share with you a bag which I have created an named emergency car sickness bag. This bag is all the essentials minus nappies and clothes due to them always been in my handbag. We have found that Jess can be sick if the car is too hot or if she has had too much juice or food before travelling.  We plan on doing a bit of travelling in the next few months  as I am sure some of you will be due to school holidays.

Our teething essentials

 

Hey Guys 

After 5 months of teething I finally can announce that Jess's has two teeth. I think she had a few more which are coming and should be with us in the next few weeks. 

We haven't had the smoothest ride when it comes to gaining her teeth we have had days were she will just scream in pain. Others where she is so clingy and needs to be held and cuddled just to make her feel better. However we have had 3 products which has helped soothe the pain a little bit.

What We Did In June


Hi Guys 

Sorry we have not posted much recently but you will see why if you continue reading this post we have both been busy and we have had illness as well. 


The first weekend of this month we made the long trip to North Wales. Jess finally got to meet her great grandad and his wife it has only took her nearly 9 months however the drive is around 4 hours and we have been busy since she has been born. This meant Jess had her first stay in a hotel which she didnt like there travel cot it's not as padded as Daddy's so she slept with me she adored the breakfast though. The next day we drove back and went to catch up with some other family members including her great great nana who loves her so much even though she has lost the ability to speak following a stroke. Jess also went to see her great great auntie who she has walking with her and making her laugh .
