Bambino mini update!!

Hi,

Yesterday was fantastic!!
We went to the hospital to have another ultra sound scan as the midwife thought the baby may be a little small. We went in and as my husbands father works at the hospital we invited him along too to watch the scan. As he works there we ware lucky to know some of the people who are dealing with us during the pregnancy which has made it extra special. Andy, the sonographer, confirmed that she is average size and her development is perfect, we got to see all of her arms, legs, feet, ribs, heart - you name it...and then came my fave bit...her face.
SHE IS SOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL (and extremely wiggly)!! It was like a kinda 3D look, we saw her opening and closing her mouth and sucking her fingers in real time...it was so breath taking. 

I just really wanted to share that with you.

Mini Update

Hi,

Apologies for not posting for quite a few days.

My husband and I had another ultra sound scan and have found out that we are having a little girl :-). All very healthy and happy....and very wiggly!!!!

We are starting decorating the two upstairs bedrooms this weekend so have been busy planning and sorting out and bowing up bits and bobs.  Whilst I'm do this I'm going to sort out some more bits to sell in hope of making some money...and making space for when our house starts to fill with baby stuff. (I'll take and share  some pictures when its complete)

That is it for now but my next post is going to be about my fave tricks and cheats- From home to beauty etc...

Another little push forward

Hi,

Only a little post today...a little update on the sort out.

So today was paper work and 'accounting day'...and being on the phone alot...and slightly stressing day!! lol. Via doing this I was able to recycle some... OK a TON...of paper, leave things behind (sort things out so don't have to actively think about it for a while) and update!!

An account review on myself- pen to paper- has given me a much clearer idea of who, where, what, why and when I want and need to do things. Again, this has been another activity which has uncovered inspiration for more further development.

Will keep updating...I'll make sure I've got more time for a more in-depth, quality post next time xxxxxx

starting my spring...sort out early

Hi,

Sorry I have not written for a couple of days. I have been a bit snowed under by one thing and another.

I have been really inspired recently by a few things and have been trying to implement them into my life and thought i would share them with you.

The first was inspired mainly by the bump and a forth coming home improvement.
At the moment Simon and I are using the smaller of the two bedrooms to sleep in and the bigger as a guest room/ art studio thing. This was mainly because the sofa bed we have is...massive- folded up and down and I we have a desk and a few chest of drawers.
 It stared with Simon wanting rid of the 2 old chest of drawers, and a close friend of mine needing some, and then as I lay in bed the other night in the small room Si and I worked out that the spare room could fit into the smaller room nicely and then we could have the bigger room which will be fab when baby is here.
At the moment the two rooms are a lilac wall with light blue door frame and skirting....I'm not a fan and the rest of the house is neutral therefore sometime in the next couple of months the painting will commence (the home improvement).
The bump inspired me in a more...literal way....as in my clothes are starting to get a bit...small. And I was thinking new year...newish (simple/capsule) style.
So I had a bit of a clear out!! All summer, autumn, winter and spring wardrobes were brought together...and reworked. So committedly so that I should not have to buy anything new for the year (inless something brakes) and that includes pregnancy and after. And I have been able to donate more clothes to charity and to sell than I am keeping!! (maybe that says more about how extensive my clothing collection was!!)

The other inspiration came from an old school friend on Facebook and then checking my bank account....
 I was on Facebook in the morning checking the news feed to start the day and came across a fab post by a friend. It was about Frugal Living. For those who don't know, its about living in a more cost effective, not wasteful, more fiscal self-restraint, efficient way....(please correct me if you feel I'm wrong- its only a quick description tho).  And after checking my bank account, this seems to just be the only answer and plus I think I will enjoy the challenge.
Coupled with my recent clear out, I aim to clear out more stuff (with the aiming of making some money)...clothes, books, films, Cd's, phones.....STUFF.

But on starting with even just the clothes, I'm starting to feel alot more...clearer. lighter and in a way (although not financially yet) alot more better off! It seems I am really benefiting from my space being clear to aid the clearing of my head...

I have only just started the new challenges and will keep you up to date with my progress. I will also get some picture on of the progress too. an

non starter today

So today I've woken up with a killer headache that feel like it is eating my brain therefore I'm having a simple day- with a simple post. And I'll mostly be eating peaches.


As much as the baby seems to love noise- I am not a huge fan so have dived back into reading again. Last night I started on my recently purchased 'The Goddess Guide'.




Any man reading this post is thinking 'not another girly post' and I'm sorry but this is fab!!! Just fab!
The author Gisèle Scanlon loves fashion and the life that surrounds it. In the book she shares her fashion discoveries, beauty, travel experiences and new inspiring things.  If you get the chance to read it,  I highly recommend it. :-) 
If you have read it please let me know what you thought.... :-)

May do another post in a bit.  Hope your all ok. xxxx

Hi

Hi, This is my first post so will probably be fairly generic.

My plan is to use this space I've created to share things that interest and inspire me. This will range to everything from my pregnancy to fashion, arts....you name it.

It may be a bit of a mash up as well as repetitive but hopefully a place to learn from and enjoy. I am trying to steer away from this being a site were negatives are left and people end up falling out. just nice things hopefully. :-)

Thanks guys xxxx
