Getting ready for baby! Woodland theme nursery

From the very first moment we decided to try for another baby and buying our 1st home back in 2014, the creative mind has been over flowing with house interior ideas & future nursery decor in our 3rd bedroom be it for a little girl or a little boy. So this has been a long time coming but we have done great over the past 3 years doing bits and bobs to our house and now finally …. clearing the 3rd bedroom (or junk/storage room!) as it’s been known as up to now. I think this happens in every new home at first doesn’t it!?

Anyway with our 1st son we decided to go with a cute Jungle animal themed room, which back then was great. However living in a rented property we weren’t able to do much in the way of decorating etc. So this time around we knew we could literally create anything we wanted to, and both wishing to know the gender of the baby at the 20 week scan helped this immensely! I am such an organised person and adore home interior ideas, preparing and nesting for a baby anyway.

We had kept hold of several baby items during the move to our new house which could be used for a boy or girl so that was great, and set us off in good stead. Aswell as getting rid of a fair few things as it was time for a fresh new start I felt in the new home too.

Learning to ride a bike!

Boys will be boys! and our little boy has always had a fascination about anything with wheels. Not only does he LOVE Cars, Trains and buses … pretty much any mode of transport to be honest! Since the age of about 1 we have been through so many ride ons, scooters, trikes and bikes. My true little favourite out of all of them though has to be the Scuttle Bug! It’s a perfect size for toddlers, great little wheels and best of all folds up so compact to take on your travels with you. It will even fit into a standard pram basket pretty well! Brody had one like this and it has lasted really well so has been put away for baby boy no.2 to use.

They come in a 3 or 4 wheeled version and you can find out a little more info HERE https://www.mookie.co.uk/news/scuttlebug-and-scramblebug-unique-toddler-ride-ons-mookie

Sew Sew Special Baby!

I am a mummy who loves to sew and despite recently taking a short break from my little creative baby & children’s business Tots Go Travel. It would seem I still can’t stay off the sewing machine for very long! However this is for a very good reason … we are due a new little arrival in August. https://www.facebook.com/totsgotravel/

Therefore I have been very busy whipping up some lovely baby boy items including bibs, comforters, blankets, a carrycot liner amongst other things and I can’t wait to start using them soon.

Love to dine out! Isle of Wight style

We are a family who loves to explore our local surroundings and dine out, whether that be a nice lunch, evening meal, home made picnic or a quick stop off on a sunny day for an ice-cream! Family time is precious and making memories together is what life is all about.

Living on the Isle of Wight we are surrounded by beautiful beaches, coastline, countryside and woodlands so exploring somewhere new or experiencing new tastes is never far from our doorstep. We also have a lot of local produce available to us nearby and I really enjoy having a look around the little gift shops, displays, antiques and other delights we may stumble across.

I have made a gallery of snaphots really into a few of the local places we often go to here on the Isle of Wight.
