30 Weeks Pregnant Update

July 19, 2018

I am 30 weeks pregnant! My second pregnancy is flying past and I can't quite believe it's now just under ten weeks until my due date. I have to admit I've actually quite enjoyed this pregnancy so far and I'm so grateful that it's been quite gentle up until this point.

We are non drivers and so doing a lot of walking when pregnant can be really tough. As well as relying on public transport and the no guarantee that ... Read more

I have no desire to have any reception or party because I’ve always believed that marriage is about the couple, not providing everyone else with a good time. I’ve been to some truly beautiful weddings where every guest ... Read more

Home Comforts with a Leesa Mattress

July 11, 2018

Leesa Mattress Review Our new Leesa Mattress has been amazing over the last month where we've been testing it out, especially as the weather has been pretty hot to handle. With pregnancy comes so many discomforts and I knew I was going to have trouble sleeping and getting comfortable in the night so when I was offered a chance to review a Leesa Mattress I was so excited. Ordering the mattress was really simple and took a few minutes on the website. There was no charge for delivery ... Read more
