2 weeks ago by willowlaneblog Someone spent their Christmas money on a new buggy for their first ever holiday! I've been on the lookout for an attractive lightweight buggy for a while and when I spotted this cute panda print and read about all the features of the Familidoo Air, I was sold. I love it already, even though I haven't properly road tested it yet ❤. It's not a brand I've heard much about but it has lots of great reviews so fingers crossed Alex and I get on well with it
3 weeks ago by willowlaneblog 2019 was a pretty darn good year as we moved into our forever home @campsiehouse and welcomed our baby boy in September. Here's hoping 2020 is good to us all and we make some amazing memories ❤. Maybe I'll even start taking more outfit pics this year as I attempt to find my style again after two kids
3 weeks ago by willowlaneblog After days of Christmas indulgence, we got outside for a walk and to take Rose's new pink bike for a spin (but we forgot her helmet, doh). It was also the first outing for my pink coat, which I bought as a treat to myself after Alex was born .
1 month ago by willowlaneblog Christmas time...I love it, especially now with the two kiddos. We took them to see Santa this weekend with friends and luckily there were no tears or tantrums! And waiting in line for over an hour was worth it for the cute photo we got ❤.
3 months ago by willowlaneblog Lovely afternoon spent in Bangor with the family. The autumn colours out on show were just beautiful . And we rode the Pickie Puffer for the first time !
3 months ago by willowlaneblog What a relatively relaxed morning looks like over here . Slowly getting used to having two kiddies and managing my time as best as I can! This set-up allowed me to get dressed and put on some tinted moisturiser . Baby Alex is now three weeks old and a wee dote. Rose has definitely got used to having him around now and loves to help give him a bath ‍♀️
4 months ago by willowlaneblog Happy Friday all. We made it out of the house as a family of four (baby Alex is hiding in the baby carrier). We went on a walk to Nanny and Grandas and I was taken aback at how all of a sudden it feels autumny. When I went into labour it was sunny and warm, a week later and I'm wearing a coat! But I love Autumn and it was so nice to walk and not waddle :)
4 months ago by willowlaneblog Hello everyone, meet my beautiful son Alex. He was born on Tuesday 24 September, weighing 8lbs 6oz...and he is the image of his big sister, only with dark hair! Honestly, as soon as he was born it felt like he has always been here with us. Corny but true. Currently he is sleeping and I'm still in my pjs. We are well and truly in the newborn haze! #myson #babyboy #oncloudnine ☁️
5 months 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 ;)
5 months 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
5 months 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 ❤️
5 months 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
