  • Breastfeeding. Something I have so far spent over 24 months of my life doing. With my first child I used to dread breastfeeding in public. I used to plan my day around feeds & pump if I needed to feed in public. Now with Bo, my third I’m proud of the fact I have overcome this & can feed him pretty much anywhere. On holiday I fed him on the beach, at a museum, in a restaurant, numerous cafes, in a bar, in the car, at a park and at a service station. All things I would have dreaded or not done with Logan, it just made me feel so uncomfortable. So I’m proud of this achievement. I’m also grateful after losing so much blood I’ve managed to keep up my supply which I know many mothers aren’t able to do, even the doctor warned me I might dry up. Also can I say I didn’t have any negative comments and even got some nice smiles. Which was great after all the negativity you see in the press. #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmama #10weeksold #summer #wales #parentinganewborn #ukparentbloggers #pbloggers #pbloggersuk
  • *Ad* Did you know the @aldiuk baby event is currently on? I went in the store today to see what I could get - check out my insta-stories to see how I did. Particularly impressed at my 200 nappies at 5p per nappy & the bed nest. #aldibabyevent #newborn #10weeksold #ukparentbloggers #pbloggers #pbloggeruk #lifeupclose #parentingbloggers
  • Farewell Wales it’s been a blast, sadly the holiday is over and it’s back to normality. At least the children and I have two more weeks of the summer holidays left, although I still have a bit of organising to do there - how’s everyone else doing on that front? #wales #holiday #summerholidays #mumbles #ukparentbloggers #lifeupclose #myfamily
  • One day left of our holidays. Today we went to the beach which involved exploring rocks pools & building trenches. This evening we went out for dinner & amazingly Bo slept all the way through it which was kind of nice not to have to juggle eating & feeding at the same time. It will be strange going home to warmer weather we’ve been wearing jackets here the most of this week. #summerholidays #holiday #wales #mumbles #family #lifeupclose #littlefierceones #ukparentbloggers
  • Today’s adventures took us to Oystermouth Castle. Who doesn’t love a castle? Aria declared it was ‘amazing!’, they both loved discovering the secret passages & Logan enjoyed pretending to shoot arrows through the arrow slits #oystermouthcastle #wales #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #daysoutwithkids #holiday #summerholidays #castles
  • Had a lovely day @gowerheritagecentre today. I think the children’s favourite part was learning to throw their own pot on the potter’s wheel. But we also loved learning about how a mill is run. #gower #wales #daysoutwithkids #lifeupclose #pbloggers #ukparentbloggers #pbloggersuk #holiday #summerholidays

  • A nicer day today. We spent the morning in Oyster Mouth & then the afternoon at the beach. Logan tried surfing again, but Aria opted for more sedate activities - rock pools, sandcastles and making monster foot prints in the sand. Bo is yet to decide if he likes the beach! #wales #mumbles #holiday #summerholiday #thebeach #lifeupclose #ukparentbloggers
  • The weather has taken a distinctly wet and chilly turn over the last couple of days here in Wales. So much so that last night I put the heating in for a couple of hours 😱 - in my defence we had quite a few wet clothes I was trying to dry too. It has meant though that the sea has some waves again and so my husband took my little boy surfing and after some initial nerves he really grew in confidence with it 🏄‍♂️ #holiday #summerholidays #minisurfer #littlefierceones #lifeupclose #ukparentbloggers #wales #mumbles
  • Me and my man ❤️. Can’t believe we’re a week into our holiday already. I swear holiday time runs on a different time zone! It’s a lot cooler here & rain predicted for the weekend so we think we may take the children to a museum. We unfortunately ended up at A&E yesterday as my husband has herniated himself 😞😬 he doesn’t need urgent surgery but he will need surgery when we’re home which sucks. But at least he now has some painkillers to get him through the holiday. #marriage #family #summerholidays #pbloggers #pbloggeruk #lifeupclose #ukparentbloggers
