How I Store Baby Items That I want To Keep

Hi, so this post is about how I store Jasper’s things that he’s mainly grown out of or that he no longer needs. These are the things that I want to keep in case we decide to have another baby so I wanted to store them so they stay in great condition. After I gathered the things I wanted to keep, I googled the best way to store them and I couldn’t really find any good information. So I thought I would share what I’ve decided to do in case it would be useful for anyone else that isn’t sure how to store these sort of things or if any has any tips on better ways to store these things for me that would also be great!

The New Mum / Mom Tag 2019

Hello! I have seen this tag going around on Youtube for a few weeks and, although I haven’t actually been tagged, I really liked the questions and wanted to give it a go! I love being a mummy to Jasper and that this also means that I can now answer questions like these. I hope you enjoy reading my answers to these questions and I’d be fascinated to read your answers if you decide to take part.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Just a quick post today to wish all you special mummy’s a happy mother’s day, whether you are pregnant, trying for a baby, a grandma, a mum to one or a mum to many you are doing a great job! Sometimes, usually on days where I am so tired from being up all night with Jasper, I wonder if I am doing a good enough job of motherhood but then I see how happy he is and think I must be doing something right. I also want to say a big thank you to my mum for showing me how to be a great mum and for being the best grandma to Jasper!

Baby Update – Jasper At 9 Months Old

Hello! I haven’t written a baby update post since Jasper was 5 months old, which you can read here, so I thought it was about time I wrote another. He has grown up so much in the last couple of months so I really wanted to document what he was like now. I’m sure I probably said this in the last post but Jasper has got the cheekiest personality and he makes me laugh all the time now by being silly. He is definitely becoming more independent now that he can move around more easily and he really knows his own mind and what he wants. Jasper is 9 and a half months as I am writing this (which is slightly later than I was hoping for because I have been a bit poorly, on the mend now though!).

My Post Partum Fitness So Far – 9 Months Post Partum

Hey everyone, so last week was the first time I felt like I could start doing some proper exercise since Jasper was born. I decided to get all of my old gym gear out that I used to wear before I was pregnant and it made me feel really good putting it back on. I am back at my pre pregnancy weight (because Jasper doesn’t stop breastfeeding!) so the main reason I want to get back in to exercise is so I can start to feel strong again. I also think it will do wonders for my mind as well because I used to feel so good when I went to the gym. So far I have just managed a few home workouts using Youtube tutorials but I guess you have to start somewhere!

Happy International Women’s Day

I can’t believe this big boy will be 9 months old tomorrow! It has definitely felt much faster than being pregnant (although Jasper wasn’t born for another 16 days after this was taken) and I have loved every minute of being a mum!

5 Fun Books To Read To Your Baby

Over the last couple of week’s Jasper has been really getting to reading books. Every morning the first thing he will do is crawl over to his books and pull all of them out (so the front room is always a bit of a mess!), it’s so cute watching him look at them and try to turn the pages. He spends most of the day either having books read to him or playing with them himself, they are definitely his favourite toy at the moment. Pretty much as soon as I’ve finished a book, he will pick it back up and we will read it again, so I know the words by heart to most of his books now. I thought I would share some of Jasper’s favourites, so if you are looking for books to buy a baby these will most likely be a hit.
