Welcome, Let's Make Ourselves at Home ~

Hi.

I’m Jess and welcome, the warmest welcome, to my brand new blog.

On the back of the Covid-19 pandemic, a difficult conception and pregnancy, and becoming a Mum for the first time, I wanted to create something positive, something creative, an outlet of sorts and ultimately, somewhere for people to come and feel accepted.

I’m 28, Odin is my gorgeous, perfect, wonderful, son and Tom is my equally wonderful husband. We have two dogs, two cats and we tried for four long, hard years to conceive our little person (I will speak more about that in another blog post!)

I want this to be short and sweet, so, I hope this blog will be cathartic, helpful to somebody, offer some support and create a sense of community for all you Mama’s and Dada’s who are rocking it Every. Single. Day.

Anyway, here’s to the beginning of something hopefully quite beautiful.

Welcome, let’s make ourselves at home…

I joined a few reusable nappy groups online in the hope of finding some information, and I did! There are some great groups out there, full of super knowledgeable and experienced Cloth-Bum-Mums (and Dads!) who are more than happy to pass on their wisdom. I did also feel a bit like a rabbit in headlights, because there are so many types, fits, materials, prices, abbreviations... so many options and so much information - I just didn't have a clue where to start. I think this can be quite off-putting if you are considering using cloth nappies, and can make using them seem more difficult, more effort, more expensive, less convenient and less appealing than using disposables - and that so isn't the case! I could l...

Snuza Hero MD vs Owlet Smart Sock 2 ~

Buying everything you need, or think you will need, for your squishy little human can seem like a mammoth, expensive, overwhelming experience. 'How will we afford to buy all of this stuff?' 'How can someone so small require so many things?' 'Will there be any room for the actual baby after we have bought all this stuff?' 'Will we have to move house to accommodate all of the baby's stuff?' 'Do they do 'baby-stuff-mortgages'?' Yes, the list can seem endless and it's really difficult to decipher what you really need and what will inevitably just sit in it's box and get in the way until you eventually sell it, donate it, save it for when you have your next baby when, inevitably, it still won't get taken out of it's box. I want to try and help you make some educated choices, save a bit of money and learn from my mistakes, late night panic buying, decisions! One of the first things on my shopping list was some k...
