Trying to make things easier...

I have said before that I absolutely love Pinterest and do my best to not just 'pin' but to make as well.  When we knew that my sister was having a baby I kept my eye out for little things for her or bub.  

One idea that I thought was great (and I wish I had of had) was found on Pinterest, a Hospital Survival Kit.  Full of all those things you don't realise you might want or need until it is too late.  This is the idea I used and the printables I used too.  Link Here.





For my own survival kit for Suzanne I started with this.


A paper bag (I used one I had already to save buying another one) and the printed out labels.  I used the pink labels because we knew Suzanne was going to have a girl.


 And these were things I collected to fill it with.  A parenting magazine, lip balm, antibacterial spray, tissues, facial cleansing wipes, chocolates, savoury biscuits and muesli bars.

I used my own experience of having babies and being in hospital to guide what I put in the bag. 

Below is what it looked like when I had put it together.



It was well received by Suey, which was great.

Celebrating an upcoming arrival...

I am still here but since my last post our house has been hit with sickness and then extra work and I don't think I have touched my computer in weeks!  I have to say I am a routine person and getting back to normality this week has been lovely.


Just before we all came down sick we had a special day in our house with my sister's baby shower.  We had a lovely afternoon tea with a few friends.





We had lots of delicious things to eat and a cake.




This is Suey cutting her cake, see that tiny belly?  There is actually almost a full grown baby in there!




She was super spoiled with the most gorgeous little things...in fact I think that this precious baby has a wardrobe bigger than mine already!







We had a really great afternoon and now we are just waiting patiently for my niece to arrive.  The waiting is the hardest part (well for me anyway).  I am really busting to meet this little one :)
