At home with Jessica Howard Photography
Jessica Howard I was contacted by the lovely Jess from Jessica Howard Photography, in February when I was roughly 30 weeks pregnant with Otis. She offered to come around and photograph us once he arrived. Of course, I jumped straight onto Jess’ page and checked out her work - stunning! She has a moody, natural [...]

My Breastfeeding Journey
Being a mama has been such a blessing. I’ve always known, and wanted to be a Mum. I felt from a very young age that it was just my calling in life, so to say I was beyond excited, WELL beyond excited to start my journey as a mama is a massive understatement. ~ Fed [...]
What I packed in my hospital bag!
After doing this once already, I felt much more confident packing my hospital bag this time. There were tonnes of things that I packed with Ari that I really did not need. But, it’s okay, it’s better to be over prepared than unprepared. I packed my bag at 38 weeks this time, this made me [...]

Bliss Birth TENS Hire
I'd heard amazing things about the TENS machines - I was going to hire one with Ari's birth, but I didn't know where to look. I researched, and found it hard to find a company that hired them for a decent price and had great reviews. Thankfully, I was approached by Bliss Birth and it [...]
Otis William Hart
Otis made a beautiful, but very quick arrival on the 12th of May at 9:20am. He was 9lb4oz of pure deliciousness. Compared to Ari's birth story, this was very different; out of my comfort zone, but it couldn't have gone more perfectly. All births are absolutely beautiful no matter how they come. Again, like Ari's [...]
