What’s breast for you {& your babe}? | Repost

It’s #WorldBreastfeedingWeek, and over this past week my inbox has been flooded with emails entitled or including the #breastisbest slogan. Instagram has been filled with {beautiful} breastfeeding pictures and controversial discussions around the topic.

While I personally have never been one to share any {revealing} images of me breastfeeding, prior to today of course ;), every #breastisbest hashtag has pushed me a little more to share my feelings on the topic. But before I share my feelings on the matter, here is some background on my three b/feeding experiences:

Midlands escape | Travel

There is no better time to connect with loved ones than over a weekend away! Our lives have been so busy this year that we found ourselves really missing our friends the Rosie’s a lot, and agreed that a weekend away was well needed. Left in the more than capable hands of Caley, a quick two night escape was booked & planned in no time, and we had something to look forward to together.

Here are some pics of our special weekend:

Rhino dehorning | my experience

I won’t say that I wake up happy… because that would be an absolute lie. I am NOT a morning person and it takes me some time to “rise and shine”.

It works for us 🙂 Plus… he makes WAY better instant coffee than I do! 🙂 *See end of article for my fave instant coffee!

Finders Keepers | Kids Party Fun!

I was recently invited… hang on… my KIDS were recently invited… to the launch of a new kids party entertainment concept called “Finders Keepers”, brought to you by Kiki & Boo.  It is, in my opinion, a brilliant concept, and one which took me back to some very happy childhood memories.
