Our little lady turned one yesterday. The last yea Our little lady turned one yesterday. The last year has been a crazy but awesome time. It’s been amazing watching her grow and develop her own little personality. She’s become a fearless, independent and feisty little girl.

Let’s see what the next year brings.

Ad: We visited @thelight_sittingbourne for toddler Ad: We visited @thelight_sittingbourne for toddler time at the cinema plus a spot of lunch. 

Austin loved watching Sarah & Duck in the huge, reclining seats and it was Autumn’s first trip to the cinema too. It’s perfect for little ears as the sound is lowered. 

After hitting the arcade, we enjoyed a spot of lunch from the epic selection of burgers at Pittsburgers (although the pizzas at Fratellis also looked awesome). 

You can really make a day out here as there’s also ten-pin bowling, Coffee Cabana and a bar too. Definitely worth a visit.

After 3 years of constant sickness, Austin’s end After 3 years of constant sickness, Austin’s endoscopy and biopsy finally gave us some answers. He’s been diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis or EoE for short. It’s a chronic disease which affects his oesophagus. EoE causes his food pipe to swell which then leads to irritation and food getting stuck, making him cough until he’s sick. At the moment we don’t know what’s causing the swelling but we’ve been asked to eliminate wheat and dairy from his diet with a view to him having another endoscopy in 12 weeks. 

So here we are enjoying an oat milk, plant-based hot ‘chocolate’ together. What a resilient boy this little chap is!

Gifted: Weaning is such a messy business! Even mor Gifted: Weaning is such a messy business! Even more so when you have a highly independent lady on your hands! But we have found a genius product from @doddl. 

This is their baby cutlery set. Safe enough for little ones to use from as young as 6 months old - allowing them the independence they crave. They’ve been designed perfectly for little hands to make honing this new skill a bit easier.

We went away last weekend to see some friends. It We went away last weekend to see some friends. It was so lovely to spend time chatting and catching up. The kids were really good with the travelling and also fine with sharing a room and not disturbing each other too much. We of course stayed up too late chatting but that’s half the fun of seeing friends is not it? We did get a lay in until 6:45 the morning which was a bonus 😂 This is the two of them looking full of mischief at 7am Sunday morning!

It feels like time has flown since we were looking around schools and we’re finally here, ready to find out how the next few years will be shaped. Fingers crossed for one of our top 3 choices.

Due to the rail strikes, my friend and I had a gir Due to the rail strikes, my friend and I had a girls’ day out locally. This includes lunch at La Taberna in Maidstone. 

If you haven’t been yet, the tapas is delicious. The sort of food where you have to have just one more bite.

Autumn’s now at the age where she really enjoys going to baby groups and I’m so lucky to be able to take her. We love to sing, dance, bang instruments - but most of all she loves the flashy lights and bubbles.

We’ve started on the garden for this year. As it We’ve started on the garden for this year. As it’s still early we’ve just sown a few sweet pea seeds. We’ve done them in toilet rolls to help the roots to grow long and strong. They are now sitting on the windowsill in the kitchen waiting to germinate.
