I am going to be a MIDWIFE

If I could do it all over again Have you ever started a sentence with those words? I have done so many times. Eventually James maybe got a bit tired of it and asked me “well why can’t you?” I had my excuses such as “we have kids now”, “it is too hard”, “I am …

Silas’s Birth Story

Just like that our little baby is one.  My blog has mostly been hibernating during Silas’s first year with the exception of a few drafts that I have written down.  But now is as good a time as any to get back into it and what better post to share than Silas’s birth story which …

The Scottish Baby Box

From the 15th of August 2017 all newborn babies in Scotland are entitled to receive the Scottish Baby Box.  The box contains a wide variety of newborn essentials such as clothes (ranging from 0-6 months), changing mat, digital ear thermometer, play mat, maternity towels etc. The box also has a mattress in it, so that …

A Time To Remember

I recommend everyone to have a maternity photoshoot done and generally to take many pictures during your pregnancy.  Your children will love to see how your body grew them on the inside!

The Day We First Saw You

Telling friends and family that there is a new baby on the way is so exciting.  But how should it be done?! There are so many ways to do it, and like many others I might have looked on Pinterest for inspiration.  I was not very successful in my search for the perfect way to …

Gonna be a family of four

Faroese Summer 2017

It has been a while since I posted on the blog, the summer has mostly been spent away in the Faroe Islands, where we got up to everything and nothing.  It was just such a lovely time.  Somehow the summer came and went in an instant, now that the autumn is knocking on the door …

Let’s Keep Talking

I was recently tagged in a post on Instagram, asking how I stay mentally healthy.  Since we have just finished Mental Health Awareness Week I thought that I would write a little post about it.  Just like we all have physical health, we also have mental health, and both of these need to be taken …

Faroese Easter Holiday

These 3 weeks in the Faroes Islands have gone by so fast.  Tonight I have packed my bags again, JJ did ofcourse decide that he did not want to sleep until 23:00, which meant that packing was a little bit hectic.  Now I am sitting here in my mum and dads kitchen.  The house is …

Sail Away With Me

I grew up by the ocean and we used to go sailing regularly, especially during spring and summer.  The picture above is me but I am not sure what age.  I think that everyone usually has that one picture of themselves from their childhood, that they remember. The picture they grew up with.  For me, …
