Review: Teething Solutions with Amber Pumpkin

Posted on March 26, 2018November 21, 2024 by Emma Reed

Teething has to be one of the worst parts of having a baby. It can begin from the moment they are born and last for three years, what other development stage lasts that long?! With the experience of having an early teether the first time around, I knew I would have my work cut out for me the second time around too. Four years have passed since Jake went through it all so I knew the teething remedy world would have moved on since then. So, I have been prepared. I have stocked up on the usual medicinal remedies and have been keeping my eye on the newest teether aids coming onto the market. And I was right, William is also an early teether, almost right on par with Jake and showing all the same early signs of chewing, gnawing, dribbling and screaming with pain. I just hope I can find a solution much faster this time and with the help of Amber Pumpkin I have already started.

Refreshing Soft Furnishings to Achieve a Spring Look

My bedroom has been pretty much neglected in the last few years. It has become a place for getting ready in a hurry, leaving a mess behind me, dumping clean washing and nursing babies throughout the night. I dream of having a bedroom full of luxurious items, of pretty soft furnishings that make it feel elegant and to have a room I can retreat to just to relax. With changes being planned in for other rooms in the house I am now on an interiors mission to make my home complete.

Teething: It’s Just as Bad The Second Time Around!

Posted on March 25, 2018November 15, 2024 by Emma Reed

I may have previously mentioned my hate of teething in my blog posts… and in my book! I remember during Jake’s teething time, being immersed in this world of pain, sleepless nights, dribble, sickness and unhappiness (both of us) yet somehow, I blocked it out. It may have taken 2 years but I had finally left the teething stress behind. I guess it’s a bit like childbirth, isn’t it? They say women forget it quickly which is why they go on to have more children, otherwise, no one would! Well, I have hit that point with teething. It’s back, I had forgotten how bad it could be and it is all coming flooding back, urghhhhh…

How I am Planning on Brightening up my Kitchen

Posted on March 21, 2018November 15, 2024 by Emma Reed

*Collaborative Post

We’ve been living in our current home for almost 7 years now and I have decided it is time for some changes. When we moved in, it was a blank canvas. It had previously been a showhome and the owner before us only lived here for 2 years before choosing to move on. She hadn’t touched the standard magnolia walls or cream carpets so even though it was completely liveable it lacked personality.

Now, I’m a doer. I will look at something, make a decision and jump in and just get on with it. Hubby is the opposite.
