Help...I smell like baby sick!

3 weeks in and the smells are getting more intense as the days bring more challenges and adventures!

 We've had sleepless nights and endless cuddles, as well as a mountain of nappies and lots of washing, a newborn is unbelievably time consuming and I have had to hold my hands up and admit that time no longer makes any sense and I should just go with the flow (harder than it sounds for me!).

 I am thoroughly enjoying the cuddles, and I get my fair share being off work, but it does mean I am there for more of the sharing of bodily fluids - more often than not baby puke! 

 I have now had it down my top, in my hair and on most of my postpartum outfits and so I have a certain odour about me these days, feel free to not mention it! You may remember I did a post on nursing tops a while back and loads of you suggested wearing a vest under all other tops and you were right it is really helpful, being a sweaty betty it's not great in the current weather but it means I can whip off a layer whenever the top one has been puked on! 

 What has got me through the last week is Infacol and the fact that Rose is now much more alert and awake and so we are starting to really get to know each other. I am spotting cues for her various needs and she seems to respond more to me comforting her when she's having a poody. Unfortunately I have not found a cue for sick yet but am getting much more speedy at swooping in with a muslin - remember to have muslins everywhere! 

 If anyone has any advice for getting sick out of clothes let me know in the comments, I am a HUGE fan of Dettol for the washing machine so in the meantime I will be hoping that and Persil does the trick! 

 Remember:

 Buy Infacol!
Always have a muslin about your person!
Layer your clothing in every weather!
Wear a ton of  deodorant! 


Before I forget, I also discovered this magazine this week, really honest and reassuring, highly recommend you check it out:
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Spring Summer Shoe Edit

Image
"Sh, sh, sh shoe people" Does anyone else remember this theme tune or am I showing my age? I LOVED that show!  That's besides the point as this post is about spring / summer shoes. I know it’s early, and the weather isn't great, but I’m off on holiday soon so have been getting my ducks in a row and I have also found that if I see a good shoe at a good price and don't get them quick they often sell out, so here’s my edit of the sandals I think should be on your wish list if you need something simple, comfortable and stylish this season.   Leather weave sandals - ASOS £20 I lived in a pair of these when I was pregnant and because they were leather they quickly stretched and became unwearable the summer after so I was pleased to find these which are a little tight but still comfortable, so I feel they can take a bit of wear and tear and will still fit. I wasn't sure about the metallic at first as you can’t tell there are three different c

Last picks of the January Sales

Image
Having spent much of the last week awake, whilst our darling 17 month old is going through a sleep regression of mammoth proportions, I decided to make myself useful and see if there are any last minute bargains in the sales that we should all keep an eye on.  I've looked both for workwear and for summer wear, as if you have a holiday booked I would recommend that you pick up a few things now whilst they are cheap rather than paying full price the week of your holiday.  You all know that I am quite tight and don't like paying full price for anything and so sales time is my happy time, I have to say that I haven't had a huge amount of success this time around but that is probably a good thing as it is saying me some cash!  These are all high street and all available online in a variety of sizes as of today (9/1/18) ASOS  Red culottes - £10  I bought these and I love them! Thinking I will pair them with a blue breton or my new white and black Winging it top f

Holidays with a toddler and how IKOS resorts saved the day!

Image
We've now been back from Greece for just over a week and I am still pining for IKOS Oceania ! This post is going to have a little about holidaying with a toddler, a little about IKOS resorts and a little about my holiday outfits, hopefully some or all of that will be of interest! Be warned - my photos don't do it justice!  We booked our holiday to Halkidiki back in September/October as I was desperate to have a holiday in the diary, and I was super keen on this resort last year but didn't fancy the 5.55am Gatwick flight with a 9 month old, but this year was feeling much braver!  We booked with Kuoni , this is now the 4th holiday we have booked with them and we have never looked back. We know they are going to make the process of choosing and booking a holiday really easy and fun and we also know that when we get there the resort is going to be amazing. Kuoni also take care of everything, private transfers, car seats, travel cots, excursion bookings - EVERYTHING! They are
