Inspiring Women Archives

1 day 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 week 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!
3 weeks 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 .
4 weeks 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.
4 weeks 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 ❤
1 month 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
2 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
3 months ago by willowlaneblog Yesterday I attended the wedding of a friend I've known since birth! I am nine months older than her and we grew up as neighbours, classmates and now adult friends. She's one of the funniest people I know and I was delighted to be part of her beautiful wedding yesterday
3 months ago by willowlaneblog Beautiful sunny day spent in Botanic Gardens, Belfast . Rose picked one flower and wouldn't let go of it for the rest of the afternoon...well not until I gave her an ice lolly ;)
4 months ago by willowlaneblog Love when Rose gets her playdates in with Ollie ❤. This time we headed to @streamvalefarm and the pair of them had a ball running around, seeing the animals and playing non-stop.
