There is something incredibly, deliciously hygge about bringing your toddler back from the playground with chilly hands, rosy cheeks, windswept hair and muddy boots.

To round off a summer of exciting excursions, we drove the three hours down to Brighton where some of our friends from university live, and to show little J the sea for the first time!

Staycations have been all the rage this year, thanks to the global pandemic, and to be honest I’m glad we can leave the house at all. My lovely in-laws decided to ‘escape’ their idyllic home in the countryside to go visiting some touristy places on the east coast, leaving behind their beautiful and friendly eight year old cat, Arthur, for us to cat sit. They live a couple of hours away, and with the amount of stuff we loaded into the car, it certainly felt like going on holiday for a week!

For my mum’s birthday this year, my sister and I decided to treat her to a weekend away (with us and my husband and baby) to escape into the countryside, forget her troubles, and have dinners cooked over a fire! What could be more hygge than a close-knit group talking around a campfire?

I cannot recommend hypnobirthing enough. Yes it sounds like some crazy hippie stuff, but it’s not. Forget the name, all you need to know is that I gave birth to a 9lbs baby at home with no drugs and it was a positive experience, thanks to hypnobirthing. This book is where I got started.

This book and the discovery of ‘Aha moments’ was a revelation to me. I cannot recommend it enough. I recently read this book again for the third time. Having read it during pregnancy and since J was born, I am returning to it again and again for the best advice I have found so far.

What a perfect day! The baby was in a very good mood and even napped long enough for me and my husband to play some Magic: The Gathering in the kitchen. I still find it hard to fully relax with an ear out for him stirring, even after 8 months, but having my hands wrapped around a warm mug of tea helped immensely.
