I thought I would start doing updates on Amelia to capture how much she changes. Amelia was 5 months on the 25th June. It has gone fast and I am trying to make sure I enjoy the moments with her as it's so easy to get caught up with life. She was weighed on Monday and weighs 16lbs 7oz and is still on the 75th centile. We give her 5 7oz bottles...

For a long time now, Amelia has had reflux and brings up a lot of milk after her feeds and also with teething, she dribbles a lot too. Luckily, the reflux doesn't seem to give her any problems but obviously the teething givers her some trouble. The problem I have is that the bibs that I saved from Hollie and even some of the bibs Amelia got new, were...

Today's cards are a couple of masculine birthday cards that I made a while ago. For the first card, I decided to use 3 circles as the main focus of the card. I went with some bright orange patterned paper for the background and layered it on some kraft card so that it would balance the orange out a bit. Paper - My Minds Eye Out of the Blue and Fly...

 Ever since Hollie started Nursery, she keeps getting head lice. It's so frustrating as a mum to keep the lice away. I have tried the medicated treatments to banish the lice but they wouldn't get rid of the actual white eggs, so the lice would always hatch. I was getting to my wits end and felt defeated by these annoying little bugs, until recently...

While researching the KAM pliers on Ebay, I came across straps for Sophie the Giraffe teether toy. I thought this would be great to try to make with the the pliers as I had bought as Sophie the giraffe recently and it isn't cheap and so a strap to keep it secure would be a good idea. I also came across a tutorial on how to make them on Leanne's blog....

My sister asked me recently if I would make her a couple of cards for her friends birthdays. One was going to be 20 and one was going to be 21. For the one that was going to be 20, I used a piece of patterned paper that had some pretty flowers on already so didn't need to do to much to the card. I just added some butterflies that I added some Stickles...

I saw Lulu from A Mummas Time Out do the summer tag recently and I thought I would have ago at it and give you a little more insight into me! Here are my answers. What's your favourite thing about summer? My favourite thing is being able to escape the house more and the lighter evenings.  Do you have a favourite summer drink?    I...

When looking online recently for dummy or pacifier holders, I came across a lot of varieties on Ebay as well as elsewhere. They were all so nice and pretty with characters like Minnie mouse and beads and letter beads to spell the babies name but I just wanted plain simple holders. All these pacifier holders were made from simple ribbon and if you have...

I bought some really pretty die-cuts from Grace Taylor recently and decided to use some of them to make some baby cards.  First I made two baby cards with a die-cuts of a pram, one boy and one girl. I used some patterned paper that matched the colours in the prams and some ribbon and twine that matched too. I embossed that background with...

After Amelia was born I wanted to make some artwork that had her name, date of birth, weight etc. on but wasn't sure what kind to make. I liked the idea of the artwork that has all the words mixed up but still looks pretty.  I came across a website called Tagxedo that makes word clouds which are shapes filled with words. There are so...

Recently we decided to take a trip to Gulliver's land at Milton Keynes. It's like a theme park for kids and although we only live half an hour away, we had never been before. Hollie has only been to one other theme park and that was Drayton Manor and that was a couple of years ago, so was still quite young to enjoy the rides. One of the first rides...
