AD - Gifted items & affiliate links ✨ . . Bringing a new baby into the world is equally overwhelming and exhilarating. Amidst the chaos, it’s important to prepare in advance to help make your own life that tiny bit easier when they arrive. By making sure you have the right baby products in place, it no doubt helps to make the transition from womb to world as smooth as possible. Since giving birth in January 2020 to a little boy, I wanted to share a few must-have baby products we’ve been using that both us as parents and our new baby have absolutely loved. Head to the link in my bio to read more. 👶🏼 . . .

Some days I don’t even know if I’ll make it out of my pjs, but a girl can damn well try. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ve had such a lovely weekend that has mainly consisted of seeing friends and family, going out for meals, having a curry night and generally taking some time to let things be as they are. Over the past few years, I’ve put this insane pressure on myself to be everything to everyone, write impossible to-do lists each day, try and write things for my blog, travel, do my own invoices and admin, see family, find new clients, and god knows what else - all while trying to keep my own business afloat and pay bills from a small office room in my house. This ain’t a sob story because I’m proud of how far I’ve come since I started working for myself over two years ago. But since bringing Sebastian into the world, I’ve had to learn pretty damn quickly that some days, I just won’t get anything like that done. And that is absolutely fine. Simple things like returning emails, getting changed, having a bath without having to rush downstairs, eating lunch and even texting back with two hands have all become luxury. But you wanna know something - I wouldn’t change it for the world. 🥰 Right now I’m taking each day as it comes and trying to get by and do the very best that I can for both myself and my little family. That’s really all anyone can ever do. Would you agree? Note: My beautiful cotton top was kindly gifted from @peekaboobie_clothing and bag was bought from @unique_avenue. ✨ . . . #mondaymotivation #monday #mondaymood #mondayvibes #mondaymorning #selflove #selfcare #selfworth #mama #motherhood #mother #motherandson #blogger #bloggerstyle

Paprika Grill | Selly Oak 💃🏻 Popped out for lunch with some friends this afternoon and I ate the loveliest Barg Lamb - thinly sliced lamb fillet, served with fresh salad and choice of side dish. Would definitely recommend a visit here! Middle-Eastern food at its finest.

AD - gifted item / Since my life now revolves around getting my boobies out 24/7 (all for the sake and love of feeding my newborn son 😘) I’ve been on the hunt for some of the best day wear for breastfeeding mamas. Just by chance, I came across this new start up brand @peekaboobie_clothing who kindly sent me one of their cosy cotton spot tops (£40) to wear and trial. It’s absolutely gorgeous, really thick material and is perfect for going out in if I need to give a quick feed. The poppers discreetly snap open so it means I no longer have to lift my top all the way up. I tried feeding in a normal top recently while shopping in Ikea and although it doesn’t bother me anymore, I can see why a lot of women might feel self-conscious about feeding in public. It’s been spoken about a lot lately (saw the segment on loose women from @staceysolomon yesterday about how hard it can be) and I think it’s essential that we normalise it and it should never, ever be frowned upon if you can do it. It’s honestly one of the best gifts I’ve been given as a new mama and it means I can go about my daily tasks while proudly showing the world this is actually a nursing top. Truth is, I really really struggled at the start with getting Seb to latch and didn’t think I could do it anymore but I’m so glad I persisted with it. It’s honestly a job in itself. I’ll be finalising my blog post this week showcasing some of the best items I’ve tried this month as a new parent and I’m proud to love and showcase this item. Peekaboobie now ranks highly on my list, more so because it’s 100% cotton and the fact the item came in a paper bag so there’s no unnecessary plastic and waste materials. It’s a husband and wife team who run it and they’ve done a great job. They currently provide sizes 10-16 (mine is a 14 to cover my ginormous melons 🍉) but they hope to increase their range as they move forward. So mamas, what do you think? Have you tried a nursing top before? 👏🏻 👶🏼 . . . #gifted #ad #peekaboobie #mama #newmama #breastfeeding #nursingtop #parent #mamasboy #breastfeedinginpublic #breastfeedinginpublic #breastfeedingtips #breastmilk #feedinginpublic #parenting #parentingmemes #momsofinstagram
