Hey Folks, It’s been a while since I blogged about my baby girl, so today I’m back with a few photos. I have about 19,000 images of on my phone and I’ve just been told that my Icloud account is full. Damn it. LOL. Being a Mum is the most amazing thing ever, it’s also the most challenging, time-consuming and rewarding job in the world. I am loving every minute but it’s hard, and there have been times when I’ve… Keep Reading
A year ago today you came into the world and changed me forever. You taught me patience, how to survive on very little sleep and how to love so deep worlds cannot describe. A year ago today I was recovering from a C section, I was emotional, tired, excited, overwhelmed and unprepared for the year that followed. A year ago today my life changed. You came long and without realising made me a better person. A more gentle, loving and… Keep Reading
A few months back Chloe Lodge took some photos of Adeline and I together at home. (You can see them here) It was nothing fancy. I didn’t have my hair and makeup done, nor did we really plan for anything in particular. It was very casual and at that time I thought to myself, Nathan might like this… he wouldn’t have to pose and he can wear jeans, at home. Roll on a few weeks later and I received my… Keep Reading
Last week I discovered that I’ve lost 6.5cm off my waist in 30 days. I know, it sounds pretty cool. I’m happy, so I’m kinda bragging. 😉 All the exercising, training and dieting is paying off, and I’m starting to feel better about myself now that I can fit into my old clothes. Bouncing back is hard! When I look back at these images that were only taken about 6-7 weeks ago and I can see a difference in my size, and Adeline’s size…. Keep Reading
Hello Lovelies, I’m finally back in Dubai and have no travel plans for the foreseeable future. Wahoo! It’s been a busy summer but the ‘meet Adeline tour’ had to come to end and I’m excited to get back into a regular routine, and with wedding season fast approaching I think one may be rather busy. Last weekend I landed in Dubai and the very next morning we had packers in to move us to our new home. I’ll fill you… Keep Reading
Hello you lovely lot of humans, I’m back today with a fun new Mummy interview with Mennat from Cloud 9 Weddings & Events. I did the same thing with Lilliam at E Walls last week, so there is probably no need for a long intro… apart from OMG how cute is baby Dania! We love her!!! Oh and Mennat you are looking amazing too! How’s life as a new mum? Life somehow seems to have more purpose. There is more… Keep Reading
I’ve decided to start this blog off with a dedication to all the mums who embrace their new post baby body shape, the ones who don’t let it get them down, the ones who go out a few weeks later rocking a body con with the their extra lbs of baby weight on full display. I envy you and your confidence. While I was writing my previous blog post I realised how much this part (the part where I talk… Keep Reading
I can’t quite believe she was once this small. The days of looking after a newborn are slightly blurry, but I do remember being completely overwhelmed with love. A wave of emotions that I can’t quite explain, and perhaps only new mothers can relate to. You’re responsible for a tiny little human, and she’s yours, all yours. Human life is amazing, it boggles my mind. Even though I still have 6kgs of post baby weight to shift, I’m feeling kinda… Keep Reading
So Adeline is now 12 weeks old and the week before last week I left the house twice, actually it was two days in a row and it was liberating. After fighting the fear for so many weeks I finally got the courage to drive to Mall of the Emirates to meet some fellow mummies for a well deserved shot of caffeine. As I arrived at the mall Adeline started to cry, she was hungry again after only 40 minutes… Keep Reading
I’ve come to realise that the reason no one tells you about how hard the first few weeks of motherhood are is because they forget. They are so darn tired that they forget what happened yesterday, let alone the week before. The first few weeks are now a distant blur and the only difference between now and then is I can remember now because it’s now. No one can warn you for the tiredness that comes after days, and then… Keep Reading
