Celebrating Reuben’s 1st Birthday

At the beginning of January, it wasn’t just me with a milestone birthday. A few days after I celebrated my 30th, it was Reuben’s 1st birthday. I can’t believe my little rainbow baby is a year old already; it just doesn’t seem possible that I now gave birth to him over a year ago. For Autumn’s 1st birthday, we had a party. I did consider doing the same for Reuben, but then I looked at things from a different standpoint. I could either do just that and spent most of the day running around him in a stressed out flap getting things ready for a party he wouldn’t remember. Or I could spend the day doing his favourite things with him that he also wouldn’t remember, but would really enjoy at the time. We went for the latter!

Ways Your Body Can Change After Childbirth

Giving birth also brings its own unique changes that can persist for several weeks or longer, and you may find that your body doesn’t fully return to how it was before.

Review: Oliver’s Cupboard Organic Baby Food

Review – Gifted¦ Bored of bland baby food? Read on! Things get messy and fun when you’re starting to wean your baby. Reuben, who has just turned 1, was a bit later to the game than his sister. I’m not sure whether it’s because he is breastfed or if it’s just a coincidence, but he just wasn’t as interested in food as Autumn. He only really started eating things properly when he was about 10 and a half months old. Even now, he’s quite fussy and if he’s too tired or teething he won’t really eat anything that’s not smooth. That said, I’m keen to give him as much of a variety of flavours as I can. Autumn is very hesitant about any sort of spice. I wonder if it’s because I kept what she ate quite bland and not especially diverse for the first 3 or so years of her life. That’s why I was delighted to find Oliver’s Cupboard organic baby weaning food. Nutritiously balanced, these pouches contain flavourful meals which take inspiration from all over the world!

Safe Driving: Choosing a Car for a Mummy with Children

Collaborative Post¦ When a fundamental change occurs in a woman’s life, such as the birth of her first child, then all priorities are revised. If you were once a lover of sports cars, speed, and drive, now taking care of your child and their safety comes to the fore.

It is difficult for young mothers to do without a car. Going to the grocery store, visiting doctors, walking in the park – in these situations, the presence of a car is mandatory.

Even when going on vacation with a child, many families feel the need to rent a car, since visiting an attraction using public transport causes great discomfort. Car rental Dubai offers a wide range of car models that are perfect for family travel in the United Arab Emirates.

In this regard, we offer a large selection of cars that are safe, comfortable, and spacious for young mothers.

Some of the things I ticked off my list have been some of the best memories of the last few years! Let’s take a look…
