This week I filmed the highly requested and much anticipated hospital bag video! This also means that I am finally prepared in case I go into labour by myself in the next few weeks so poor Jonathan can relax a little bit ;) I do also need to pack a bag for the baby which is basically just a changing bag so when I do that I will be sure to share that with you too! Of course every labour & delivery is different but having done this three times already I consider myself to be pretty good at knowing what to pack and I know what I do & don't need to bring. The main thing you want to do is pack things that make YOU feel comfortable, at-home and confident. Don't listen to what other people tell you is right or wrong...do what works for you! I remember getting so much stick for packing makeup in my hospital bag...I was laughed at, told I was stupid, vain and that I would regret it. Well I can safely tell you that this girl packed makeup, hair products AND even a gradual tanning lotion in her hospital bag with zero regrets as they all helped make me feel normal. So just do what works for you and ignore the haters - at the end of the day it's YOUR bag, nobody else's!

Here's a fun fact about these outfit photos...originally when we took them (in 30 degree heat!) I had attempted to make this look a little more stylish by adding an off-white shirt and a pair of sandals which are becoming increasingly uncomfortable to wear the further I get into this pregnancy. Literally five seconds after taking the pictures I changed back into flip flops and ripped off the shirt as I was hot, sweaty and everything felt restrictive! When I looked at the photos afterwards I wasn't happy...you could tell just how uncomfortable I felt at the time and it just didn't sit right with me. Jonathan suggested we re-take them in what I was wearing here but I wasn't sure. Number one, there are stretch mark oil stains on my top...number two, flip flops aren't exactly "fashion blogger" material but nothing else fits my swollen feet in this heat! And finally number three, I'm fully aware of how basic this outfit is and I'm not sure it's worthy enough to be blogged...BUT as Jonathan reminded me this is the reality of what I'm wearing at 38 weeks pregnant. And I've only ever wanted my blog to be just that...real. So I'm sorry this isn't high fashion or probably inspirational in anyway but it's what I look like right now and I am too hot and too pregnant to throw on a pair of heels or change just to fit into a certain "look" that I may think is expected of a blogger. And to tell you the truth, these photos came out so much better than the other ones :) Stains, swollen feet and all!

I have had this maxi dress forever...7 years to be exact! Here is the blog post I wrote when I first bought it, actually I think my mum got it for me if I remember correctly! It has taken me through each pregnancy and just goes to show that if you purchase good quality clothing and look after it well, those pieces can last a lifetime! This is the easiest and best kind of dress to wear during a summer pregnancy as it's super soft, breathable, loose and lightweight. And thankfully it still fits even though I'm currently about 18kg more than I was back in 2011!

Doesn't life look idyllic when you're surrounded by pretty hydrangeas and fluffy white dogs?! Hahaha when really I was sweating buckets, had a blocked ear and two out of the six dogs were probably barking up a storm at a leaf who dared to move. This dress is not maternity at all but in a desperate search of something in my summer wardrobe that fit, it actually ticked the right boxes!

I also launched a couple more items to my jewellery line last night in case you missed it on Instastories. One of which I am wearing in this outfit, the constellation necklace in a glossy finish (shop it here). I added this option to the original line which came in a matte/sandblasted finish as well as two different chain lengths to the birthstone choker (45cm and 60cm), a birthstone ring and matching birthstone earrings. I hope you all love each piece as much as I do! Let me know which one is your favourite :)

I think these photos were taken on the one rainy/gloomy day out of the whole summer, haha! I'm almost not used to seeing puddles or grey skies anymore! Anyway today's video is all about what I packed for baby in his hospital bag which is basically just the changing bag I'm bringing to the hospital for him. If you've watched my other hospital bag videos I generally pack a separate bag for myself & one for baby. This is probably the least I've ever packed due to the fact that 1. it's baby number 4 so I've learned a lot and 2. the hospital I'm giving birth at provides a great deal for the baby already. I did not know that when I had Alessia (my first baby born in the UK) and that was very different to giving birth in Ireland. For Emilia & Eduardo I had to pack a ton more clothes, nappies, blankets, etc. whereas this bag is pretty minimal in comparison! See below for a full list of what I packed this time!

Today's video got pretty emotional...let's just chalk it up to pregnancy hormones! Although I was in a lot of pain and I think everything just got a bit too much. I am absolutely fine though and since that moment where I had a little mini-breakdown (lol) I have definitely been scaling it back and taking it easier! I also think Jonathan would murder me if I didn't! Sometimes as mothers we think we're superwomen and can do it all...but realistically we can't and something's got to give. I need to keep telling myself that though as I am the worst person to take this advice!

Bianca wanted to join me for this little photoshoot :) Here's another very basic yet comfy maternity outfit! I swear flip flops are my best friends right now as any kind of footwear that doesn't involve me bending over to get them on is a gift from God. I have been known to spend about 20 minutes trying to tie up some of my strappy sandals & buckles and we have actually run quite late on numerous occasions because of this problem! I bought this top after having Alessia as it's actually a nursing top and I wore it a lot last summer. This has also reminded me of the fact that I'm going to need to think about easy-access breastfeeding wear after the baby is born! I think a postpartum/nursing shopping trip may be in order...

This video was requested after I featured my Pursfection handbag organiser in my Summer Favourites post! I used to love what's in my bag videos on YouTube (I actually still do!) and the Louis Vuitton Neverfull has been my go-to bag since I had Alessia as it is big enough to throw everything into and I barely ever swap it for anything else anymore! I know when my babies get older I will enjoy using different bags again but for now this is just so convenient.

I'm back! Did you miss me? I really missed blogging and I'm so happy to be bringing the blog back in 2019! It's one of my goals for the month...check out my video below to hear more on what I have to say about that!

Since my last blog post some major life changes have happened. I had a baby and we moved into our new house! So those two things have been keeping me extremely busy and I honestly haven't had time for much else. But I'm going to try and post fresh content on here at least weekly and see how this goes. I hope you'll stick around for more!

Walking into 2019 with a coffee in hand...hahaha!

Breakfast (8:30pm)

This What I Ate was filmed during probably one of the most stressful days ever...it was the day after we moved! So many things went wrong, we were insanely busy with work (I had to go to Manchester the following day at 6am), I was breastfeeding a three month old, trying to get two children ready for school etc. etc. you know the drill! But I'm really glad I documented it because it's actually really interesting to look back on. I somehow even managed to get in my morning workout at 6am (here's the workout I did, bear in mind this was a month ago so it has since changed!) and used a coat as my "yoga mat", hahaha! Anyway by the time I finally got around to making some breakfast, it was an instant porridge packet I found made with almond milk, a date, blueberries and cinnamon along with a black coffee. Not bad, considering I could barely source any utensils...although the instant porridge ended up doubling in size (I didn't know this and used two packets) so I think I basically had two portions. Oops!

I also had already drunk a 900ml bottle of water with my workout.

Snack (11:40am)

That morning we had to go to the school nativity, so I ate a snack later in the morning and grabbed a 1/4 cup of dried fruit & nuts Wellness Mix by Noberasco (sorry, forgot to get a pic of this!).

Lunch (1:40pm)

For lunch I made a quick ham, cheese & pickle toasted wrap. I use organic ham, cheddar cheese, Stoke's sticky pickle and the wraps are wholeblend flat breads from Crosta & Mollica. I also re-filled my water bottle for the 2nd time!

Dinner (5:30pm)

We unpacked boxes all day long, so by the time dinner rolled around I was starving. Also our oven wasn't working at the time as the electrics hadn't been set up in the house properly yet so we got a takeaway Wagamama's! I got the Yaki Udon which is my absolute favourite dish, it's got prawns, squid & chicken in there along with lots of veggies & yummy udon noodles!

Dessert (8:35pm)

Later that evening our hairdresser Alex came round to do my hair for the Benefit event the next day and I made us both hot chocolates (I use whole milk & Green and Blacks hot choc) and also had two Frosty Fancies. I also refilled my water bottle for the 3rd time...and that was it for the day!

Hope you guys enjoyed this What I Ate Wednesday, sorry there were no outfit pics but to be completely honest I think my outfit that day was made up of a lot of random pieces I could find out of boxes!

Here is the last video in our Postpartum Workout Series! This one is quite a bit more challenging than #1 and #2 so I definitely recommend easing your way into it if you are a beginner! Having said that if you are not postpartum and just wanting a new 7 minute effective HIIT workout routine this one could also be for you! Anyone can do it, whether you are post baby or not...what's important to note is that it is safe for new mums.

And no I don't normally do my workouts outside in the freezing cold...barefoot, hahaha! These just made for some good pictures ;) Here are some of the moves from the workout Lucy gave me! It lasts 7 minutes, you do each move for 1 minute and I typically repeat the workout another 2 times which gives me a pretty intense 21 minute routine.

...and stretch! Hope you enjoy the workout. Let me know if you try it! And don't forget to check out Lucy's channel for more short yet effective workout routines.

This little chunk is 4 months old! In fact, I don't think I've ever officially introduced him on the blog. Remember when I mentioned I'd had a baby? Well, here he is...in all his chubby glory! :) His little tracksuit is from Pinko. Here is an update on how he is doing at 4 months old and a little bit about me at 4 months postpartum.

Ahh...Alessia. Never have I met such a beautiful baby girl who just refuses to take a good picture! Ever since she was a tiny baby she just would not cooperate...whereas Emilia was always so photogenic and just lit up for the camera! The best photos I have of Alessia are ones when she doesn't know her picture is being taken, hahaha! You have to really trick her to get a good shot because the second you say "smile!" or "say cheese!" she pulls a pouty face or rams her thumb into her mouth. Little diva ;)

We did manage to get maybe one or two good ones here...but she was more interested in running away and playing with her toy tractor. LOL! I just wanted to get some shots of our matching ruffle jumpers which wasn't even an intentional match as they were bought at completely different times from different shops.

To see what I eat in a day, along with a glimpse at my current workout routine (full video here) you can watch the video above!

Here are my 5 tips to crush your goals in 2019! (See video below). And this is what I wore in the video...minus the scarf! It was freezing outside and I love the greens together so I broke out this scarf which I got for Christmas two years ago. I have been really loving this jumper from Oliver Bonas that I picked up on a total whim a few weeks ago...I actually never even realised they did clothing and was nearly not going to get it as I already have a green jumper that is very similar. But I'm so glad I did! It's so soft, the colour is in between a turquoise and a green and I'm completely in love with this style of blouson sleeves!

I absolutely love this jumper my mum gave me for Christmas! We got it on sale from Whistles while shopping together when we visited Ireland in December and I love how well it goes with these trousers! They are super old (I've had them since before babies) and one of the belt loops has ripped but I still love them and was really happy when I found them in a random box after we moved!

Today's video deals with a topic I'm particularly passionate about and I really wish I had stumbled across something like this when I was a teenager as I know it could have saved me from years of silly behaviours & abusing my body. I hope I can help at least one person with the information I've shared. I truly believe that diets are horrible and can cause so many problems further down the road!

This is actually a completely recycled outfit from 2016, minus the boots which I did change but it's otherwise the same! I later realised that the Valentino boots do not work well on these slate pebbles...you'll see what I mean in a future post! Today's What I Ate Wednesday is brought to you by a sleep deprived mama...we had been going through some sleep issues with Andrea as he has been teething a lot lately. It's still hit or miss and some nights are better than others (thankfully last night was good!). But there are definitely days where I feel like a walking zombie. Coffee & concealer are my friends!!

Note to self...these boots & this slate gravel do not mix well. Hahaha! I basically was sinking into the pebbles the entire time we were taking pictures. Oops. Anyway, I bought this jumper in the sale in Brown Thomas when we were last in Ireland as I had underpacked and needed one more outfit for the trip home. It was totally bought on a whim and I didn't realise how much I'd love it! These blouson sleeves & cropped combo are eeeverything!

Look at this big boy! He puts a smile on my face everyday :) This happened just minutes after I had filmed his update. He's not quite sitting up on his own, more like leaning on his hands! I remember Emilia doing this at the same age...it's so cute!

I honestly feel like this is such a basic outfit of mine...and one I gravitate towards often! I probably own about 5 cream jumpers similar to this one and I can't count how many pairs of khaki jeans/trousers I've gone through over the years! Paired with some brown boots and this will work in the autumn, winter and early spring so I wear a variation of this a lot!

Also I noticed I do the arm holding pose quite a bit...I mean it's in every.single. outfit post...which is kind of embarrassing! I need to come up with a different pose, hahaha! Seriously though, what is that about?!

As we get used to our new home, I've been playing around with different backdrops for my blog pictures. This was my first time taking photos outside the front which started out as an effort to avoid the rain as this was a particularly wet & gloomy day! But because of our outside lights and the colours we painted our front door & posts (they used to all be a dark brown) I actually really like how this looks! We also changed the tiles and had the entire front of the house re-pointed (basically cleaned up the red brick and brought it back to its former glory). It's an Edwardian house so there is still plenty of work to be done! But we are getting there...slowly, haha!
