mom life

Our baby turns six months old this week, and one thing we’ve noticed recently is just how much more curious and mobile he has become. While he’s not crawling just yet, it’s clear that he’s getting stronger, reaching for everything, and becoming much more interested in exploring his surroundings. We decided it was time to start baby-proofing our home. Here’s what we’ve done so far….

As my son approaches six months old, there’s one milestone I’ve been looking forward to … the possibility of getting back into regular running. Before becoming a mom, running was a huge part of my life. It was my exercise, my stress relief, my time to think, and allowed me to eat that extra piece of chocolate! During pregnancy and in the early months of motherhood, my relationship with running naturally changed.

Travelling abroad alone with a new baby can feel equal parts exciting and terrifying. Before my first solo trip with my little one, I imagined chaos at every stage, the airport, security, the plane, the luggage, the crying. What I learned very quickly is that travelling with a baby is not only possible, it can actually be far easier than we build it up to be. If I could go back and tell myself a few things before that first trip, these would be at the top of the list.

Traveling with an infant can feel overwhelming, especially when jet lag enters the picture. A disrupted sleep schedule can leave both babies and parents exhausted. The good news is that with a little preparation and consistency, you can help your baby adjust more smoothly to a new time zone. Here are some practical mom-approved hacks to help reduce infant jet lag and make travel more enjoyable for the whole family.

I’ve been using both the Momcozy M6 Wearable Breast Pump and the Spectra S1 Breast Pump, and I wanted to share my honest experience in case

Here are my top three favourites (books) that we keep coming back to every single day.

The first time our baby had his vaccinations, it was tough. His temperature climbed all the way up to 39.2°C (102°F), and it left us feeling anxious, exhausted, and unsure if we were doing everything right. So when it came time for his second round, we wanted to approach things a little differently.and thankfully, the experience turned out to be much smoother.

Let’s be honest, when you become a mom, it’s so easy to feel like you need to carry everything with you. But the truth? You really don’t. Over time, I’ve figured out exactly what I actually use when I’m out and about with my baby—and it all fits into one simple, on-the-go diaper bag that stays clipped to my pram.
