When you’re moving house, it’s safe to say that you’re always going to be a little busy. Because there’s just so much for you to do. Not only do you have to keep your life going, but you need to be able to pack it all up and then move it on to someplace new, without breaking a sweat. And it can be tough. You’ll often forget to do things, or leave things to the last minute, and this is when you can start to really feel the strain. So, instead, you’re going to want to try and be as organised as you can, ahead of time, so that you’re able to move swiftly and stress-free. To help you, let’s take a look at five tips.

Baby Led Weaning - What I Need To Know

Fraser - 5 months old

I started writing this post around 3 weeks ago and as is the case with most parents of little ones there never seems to be enough time and before you know it a few weeks have passed and you haven't finished doing that thing you started. So here I am finishing this post, since now my baby is over 6 months (😱how on earth did that happen!!! I blink and six months have passed). And we have started the weaning process. I will share more on how things are going in the coming weeks and months, but for now here is this post.

What To Pack In Your Hospital Bag

I'm now over 38 weeks pregnant and just popping the last few items into my hospital bag. I swear I was far more organised with my first pregnancy. I guess I didn't also have the distraction of a toddler to look after last time. I'm not sure when the best time is to pack your bag. For some, packing it as early as 30 weeks is important, but others could pack it as late as 40 weeks and still have a couple of weeks before the baby comes. Do what feels right to you, but probably somewhere around 35 - 36 weeks is a good time for most.

There are so many recommendations online for what to include that it can be quite overwhelming knowing what to actually pack. There are some things that are absolute essentials, but you don't want to go overboard and take too much. I feel like I've packed far better this time around and I'm not taking quite so much with me.

However you want to make sure you have enough just in case you need to stay in after your baby is born. You can always have a second back packed that you either leave in the car or at home in case of a stay. That way you're not expecting your other half to go searching for the things you need.

Tips for A Working Mum - Petit Fernand Personalised Label Review

Being a parent is hard work no matter your situation, there are pro's and con's to being both a stay at home and working mum. But one thing I've learnt as a working mum who is also the main care giver, is that you really need to be organised to keep on top of things. If you're not organised, you're constantly chasing your tail and rushing to get places and get things done. Not easy when you have young kids, who always seem to want to do things on their own agenda.

I was a working mum, working part time for the good part of a year. Having a husband who works long hours, I was sole parenting the majority of the time Monday to Friday, as well as cooking a lot of the meals and keeping our home clean and tidy. Here's a few of the things that helped me stay sane and on top of things as a working mum. Of course much of the below would work for you no matter what your situation is, but these are the things that helped me as a working mum.
