2 weeks ago by willowlaneblog This time last week we were waking up with our birthday girl/fairy princess and presenting her with her big present...a brand new wooden kitchen (swipe to see). We were going to get her a bike but in the end opted for a kitchen. She got so much play value out of her small second hand plastic kitchen, I figured an upgrade would be nice. I searched high and low for what I thought was the 'perfect' wooden kitchen at a good price point. I hope she appreciates my diligence ;)
2 weeks ago by willowlaneblog It's been a while since I shared a foodie pic on here but this one is worth sharing. Phill and I recently had a brunch date together at @outputespresso . We had stopped off for a takeaway coffee here weeks ago and were so impressed with the coffee and brownie that we wanted to go back. We both opted for the 'pig pancakes' and my-oh-my were they delicious. Every element was perfection; the thicky fluffy pancakes, the Hannans's bacon and the morish black pudding scotch egg. All washed down with coffee...delicious! #brunch
2 weeks ago by willowlaneblog My baby girl has turned 3!!! We had a fairy themed family party for her and I'm pretty sure she loved it ‍♀️. She was so busy playing and socialising I barely saw her all day...so not sure exactly how much cake and treats she had #birthdaygirl #birthdayparty #daughter ❤️
4 weeks ago by willowlaneblog Rose and I had an impromptu photoshoot in the garden . She even took a long length photo of me using my phone! So glad I bought her a kids camera recently - just debating whether or not to give it to her for her birthday later this month or as a present from the new baby when they arrive! She's been such a trouper these past few months. Now potty trained and sleeping in a big girl bed. Plus she's just started dressing herself too. Miss independent. Next on the agenda is getting rid of the dummy
1 month ago by willowlaneblog So I've decided Rose will be my birth partner for baby no. 2. Who better than my first born to take on the role?! However, in all seriousness, I need to start thinking positively about giving birth for a second time. So far I've been trying not to think about it. But I decided to buy this hypnobirthing book as I am intrigued by the whole concept. Whilst I wouldn't say I had a traumatic time with Rose...I had a back to back natural birth and she came hard and fast! I remember thinking afterwards, how do women do this
1 month ago by willowlaneblog #Throwback I have not had baby no.2! But currently looking at soft baby wraps and wondering which one(s) are the best? I loved having Rose in the Baby Bjorn carrier (pictured) and fully intend to use it again but would also like a soft wrap for using around the house. Suggestions please!
2 months ago by willowlaneblog The men folk embarking on a playdate with the kiddiwinkles! We visited the water park @letsgohydro for the first time and it was brilliant! The kids went on the 'puddle park' (like a bouncy castle on the water) whilst we each took it in turn to supervise and drink coffee .
2 months ago by willowlaneblog Me and my girl on our way to the park. She has been such a trouper these past few months as we have moved house, potty trained her and put her in a big girl bed . Next task? Get her off the dummy! All in preparation for the new baby coming of course! Any tips you have for getting rid of a dummy much appreciated! She just uses it for sleep.
2 months ago by willowlaneblog We've been in our new home for about about a month now (I can't keep track of time) and up until yesterday the sunroom was pretty much our dumping ground for moving boxes, paint pots and random debris. But Phill has painted it, cleaned it and unpacked loads of the boxes to make room for a family space. We just need to get the blinds back up and decide on flooring but I love the space already because of the light and views out to the garden. You can follow all my house updates on @campsiehouse ❤
2 months ago by willowlaneblog All I can say is thank goodness for dresses when in the third trimester! Even my pregnancy leggings are too tight on me now . Trying to rest when I can in between settling into our new house, working and potty training. Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday ❤. #29weekspregnant
2 months ago by willowlaneblog Rose has been loving her big girl room in the new house (you can follow all house renovation updates via @campsiehouse ) and I adore this vintage 1930s Lebus wardrobe I picked up via Facebook Marketplace. In other news we are currently trying to potty train Rose so any tips you have would be most welcome as it certainly hasn't been a breeze so far! Hoping we turn a corner soon
3 months ago by willowlaneblog A rare day out in the sunshine just the three of us...away from work and house renovations! We escaped to Bangor and took Rose on the pedal swan boats. Thumbs up from us
