<br />
So of course I asked my uncle to go... He hesitated to say the least HAHA but my amazing cousin showed me the way and basically made my life bringing me to the store!<br />
<br />
So yes, I brought a lot! But most of the things were out of stock 😩 Such as Kat Von D, Zoeva, Anastasia Beverly Hills and most of the Sephora brushes!<br />
<br />
So here we go 😍<br />
<br />
First up, the brand Tarte. I've heard so many things about this brand and as it was the first I seen so I went start for the counter.<br />
I picked up a blush, in the shade "captivating" it's a gorgeous deep peach which is perfect for summer, I wanted a bronze/brown blush but of course it was out of stock 😩<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I then had to pick up the Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara, in black of course. I wore this once so far, and it's amazing. Separates your lashes amazingly and gives you the full volume effect which is what I need in a mascara as I have barely any lashes!<br />
<br />

<br />
I picked up a few palettes, one being a gift to my sister. A contour palette and I must say she's lucky I gave it to her because I would of totally kept it! It was fab. A gorgeous bronze, blush and a fab highlight. Perfect for teenagers! The second palette I picked up was the "Energy Noir" palette. Mainly taupes and purples but very out of my comfort zone. It does have a gorgeous blush which I've lost the name of. Perfect for summer too!<br />

<br />
And finally, the last palette has to be my fav from the haul, the "tartelette in bloom" wow, just wow, it's amazing and smells so good! The mix of shimmer and mattes are just great, the pigment is fab and the colours are what I crave! Just can't get enough of this palette! Definitely my go-to from now on!!<br />

<br />
Next up, is of course Anastasia Beverly Hills, I picked up the powder contour kit in light to medium. Of course I had to get it, it was calling my name! I wanted to pick up a brow wiz and the dip brow but of course they were sold out in my shade too, I was very disappointed! One of the things I really wanted to pick up.<br />

<br />
<br />
Other brands I wanted was Kat Von D, the contour palette and the concealer was sold out. But I guess it wasn't meant to be 😞<br />
<br />
I also picked up the BeautyCleanser!!!! And wow... I used this as soon as I got home and my god it's amazing, not only did it make my Beauty blender like new but it was amazing in my brushes too and you don't need much product at all! But of course you can purchase that in boots now. Which I didn't realise. As well 😅<br />
<br />
I had to get some Sephora brushes, but the only ones I found were an eyeshadow set, basically has your top 4 brushes! So soft and it blends the eyeshadows so well!<br />
<br />

<br />
And of course, when I seen Becca I went straight for the Jaclyn hill "champagne pop" highlighter. Let's just say, it's to die for. The pigment, the glow!!! Ahh it's amazing! I brought one for my sister too, and I picked up the under eye brightener which I've tried and yes, it's a need for those tired mumma eyes LOL!!<br />

<br />
<br />
So I did some damage, but I could of done more! I actually have started a list on what to get when I return LOL!<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading, and if you have any "have to try's" from Sephora please let me know!<br />

Yes, we travelled to Australia with two small kids. yikes! I even just shivered at the thoughts of it.<br />
<br />
So, since we couldn't say anything before. lets start from the beginning!<br />
<br />
The planning all started last October/November when we started to talk about going over to surprise Pietro's sister for her birthday in April. It was all fun to talk about then, as we honestly didn't think it was going to go ahead.<br />
My main though were, "Is travelling with two small kids even possible?" "Can we even do this without spilling everything?" "What am I even meant to pack for Australian weather???"<br />
Of course Pietro was completely for going over, I was a bit hesitate. I didn't want this amazing trip to go down the drain because I was in too over my head!! But we started planning.<br />
Pietro booked time off work once the tickets were book. I rang my Uncle in Melbourne to say he's getting a few visitors in April. which meant, we were about to go on SIX airplanes within two weeks.<br />
<br />
We're Nuts!!<br />
<br />
Pietro started saving, I started buying clothes to pack. LOL<br />
Then the real test came, Pietro's Sister & her boyfriend came to visit for Christmas. Were we going to blow the whole thing?? Well we kinda did, but thankfully she didn't cop on ;)<br />
Time went very fast, before we knew it, it was a week before we flew and I didn't have anything packed!!!<br />
<br />
For the kids, lets just say I overpacked. Oops, nut we were going during Australia's autumn so yes, I brought summer clothes and winter clothes for both. And surprisingly I actually used both :)<br />
<br />
I can't really think of how i planned for the long trips and we honestly just winged it with everything!!<br />
<br />
We brought three carry-ons swell as a baby carrier (Saved our lives)<br />
So the first carry-on was full of clothes, basically the "What Ifs" and clothes to change into in Abu Dhabi.<br />
The second carry-on was FULL of toys, food, bottles, baby food, formula. Anything I could think of that would help distract the kids on the plane. To be honest we didn't even use half the stuff we planned on using. The Tvs on the plane & the iPad were basically what kayden used on the plane.<br />
The third carry-on was basically empty! But we needed it for going to Melbourne, so we just filled it with randoms :P<br />
<br />
It was such a struggle to bring around three carry-ons, hold two kids and keep your insanity LOL! But surprisingly myself and Pietro played Tag Team throughout the trips and there was no arguing, nipping or divorcing ;)<br />
<br />
When it came to tips, I asked my fellow bloggers about travelling and they sent me all their blogs on travelling with small babies, and thankfully they did! I was reading arcticles, blogs, stories about travelling just for me to be somewhat prepared, and have an idea of what to expect.<br />
Like, to be honest it was the first big trip to go on without my mammy, and mammys always are prepared ;)<br />
<br />
On the 21st of April, we set of at 5am with the car packed, kids loaded and our heads held high. We were about to travel to austraila.<br />
this was either going to go so well, that we would be back or absolutly horrific that we wouldn't be stepping on a plane again.<br />
<br />
We arrived at the airport, checked our bags in and ourselves. got our tickets and headed to security. I'd say it took us about twenty minutes to unload everything and recheck if we've unloaded everything, that i'd say there was a queue of 15 people cursing and blinding us to hurry the F on. LOL<br />
But we were first timers, and we just wanted to do everything right ;)<br />

We had about two hours to kill before our flight, so we headed for breakfast to fill our bellies before lift off. in the mean time, Kayden ate nothing due to being so excited. Emilee puked up her porridge and I was too nervous to even look at food. Pietro didn't have a bother on him. F'er<br />
<br />
I skipped duty free, etc because i didn't want the extra load to carry even though i could of fitted it in my carry-on. *Slap in the face *<br />
<br />

And then it was time to board, i felt like i was repeating myself as every time i met someone on the plane "Are we getting a bassinet?" "Are we getting a bassinet?" and they would always reply "Yes, Please go to your seat!" LOL i felt like my life depended on that bassinet, how was i going to hold her in my arms for 24hours, will i sleep? will she sleep? my life did depend on that bassinet. and dam right we got it :D! It was the best thing invented. she slept like a log during the flights over. and so did kayden! So thankfully we slept great too. I'd say we watched one movie during the two flights, i think it was "How to be single" but we were so occupied with the kids i didn't even notice that we had tvs haha!<br />
<br />
So 7 hours past, and we were about to land in Abu Dhabi. and guess what? Emilee had the biggest poop explosion that we couldn't even get up to change it because we were just about to land, so we rushed off the plane into the bathrooms, and then.... i couldn't find any nappies. Oh my god, how could we not have any flipping nappies?!?!?! but yes, i was stupid enough to move then into another case, and cause so much stress on me that i wanted to turn around and go home. After that horrible 5 minutes i found the nappies, we changed Emilee and i went to grab everything to pack and go, but Pietro decided to open the door a bit to early and this woman barged in demanding us to get out because she wanted to change her baby's nappy. ahhhh! it was stressful. So we spent another 30 minutes trying to figure where we were to go as we lost the crowd, but thankfully we made it within 30 minutes before boarding. So i had a quick Skype with my sister and off we went on the last leg to Austraila.<br />

<br />
Well, our flight couldn't of went any better. the kids slept 7 hours out of the 11 and we slept a little less but we got to watch a movie!!!!! wooooooo!!!<br />
<br />
We arrived at 2pm Australian time, Pietro's Sister's friend came to pick us up and bring us into their house. it was about a 15 minute drive but so surreal to be there. it was amazing. the heat omg. 28degrees. and all of us in trackies and hoodies from flying! LOL<br />

We waited in the house for about twenty minutes before they arrived, we stood in the kitchen as they walked in and shouted SURPRISE, She was so surprised that she didn't even see us, just seen her friend and then realised that we were standing there! it was great, so worth the flying and hassle!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>WEIGHT</b>: i honestly haven't got a clue LOL</div>
</div>
<div style="color: #797979; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #797979; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>HEIGHT</b>: again no clue, I'm such a good mammy ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #797979; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>SLEEPING</b>: Sleeping through the night is totally gone out the drain!! I can't complain, she will whinge for her dodo & fall straight back to sleep, or her bottle which she holds herself in the bed, which is the exact same as what kayden did at this age LOL. Still not quite the napper, will sometimes got 1-2hours, but will sleep 2-3 hours if i go to nap with her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #797979; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>TEETH</b>: Still no teeth, dribbles like crazy, & puts everything, and I mean everything to her mouth!! </div>

<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #797979; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>PLAYING</b>: Id say in the last month, she's been playing more more and getting more interested in her surroundings, such as the jumparoo Santa got her for christmas, She LOVES playing in it, aswell as her mama & papas seat that has a toy tray attached. Also will laugh at kayden for hours even if kayden is just looking at her. She adores her big brother so much! pretty much the only person to make her laugh uncontrollably!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #797979; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>PERSONALITY</b>: She is a nutcase! wound up to the last LOL!! Wants content attention, and for people to notice her. She will cry if you turn your back to her and she definitely knows her mammy will put her up if she keeps crying LOL. Emilee has been making strange to a few people, but soon warms up after a while. Ive noticed she will look at me or Pietro if she feels upset/distressed and thats when I usually take her back and then she's fine, just stare the crap out of them haha! She will talk for Ireland in the morning, around 6am-9am is when she wakes up and honestly will lie there having a good aul chat to herself! which is so freaking adorable. Also Emilee loves the camera, I usually take OOTD posts for instagram (@aislingrachel) which she loves :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #797979; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>CURRENT CLOTHING SIZE</b>: She is in 6-9 month clothes, still in 3-6month clothes vests/tees and some leggings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #797979; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>DIAPER SIZE</b>: in size 3 nappies. Had our first leak in the morning but thats only as she didn't wake up through the night for mammy to change her nappy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #797979; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>WORDS</b>: Lots of Oooo's and aaaa's, I've heard a few 'mam' but not classing it as she's saying my name just yet. constantly moving her jaw to try her best to talk but nothing comes out. Is full of chat in the mornings & just before bedtime when she's getting dressed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #797979; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>RECENT MILESTONES</b>: rolling over, sucking her big toe LOL, She is finally sitting up on her own but is still abit unstable so I usually sit behind her. Emilee loves giving kisses and hugs!!<br />
<br />
Emilee is now fully on solids, 4 meals a day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tend to keep her meals the same for one week so her digestive system gets used to it, also I've heard that a baby has to try a new food about ten times to like it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
heres her meal plan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Breakfast</i> 10am-11am - instant porridge </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Lunch</i> 1pm - 2pm - one vegetable (this week is sweet potato)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Dinner</i> 5pm-7pm - One vegetable (still have frozen carrots from last week so I'm using them up)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>supper</i> 8pm-9pm - instant porridge<br />
<br />
& to mention she has about four 7oz bottles of formula a day! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The vegetables Emilee has tried are; carrots, broccoli, avocado, sweet potato and butternut squash.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wash, peel & steam the vegetable (if needed to be cooked) and then throw then into a jug and hand blend them into a puree. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the next coming weeks, I will be adding fruit for lunch, not sure what to start of with first as i dont want to give her something very sweet and have her throw off her veggies :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ive also had this idea of juicing fruits & veg for her beaker. Has anyone tried it with their babies? and how did you introduce the juice? I'd love to hear :)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's been about three months since I've last blogged I'd say.... Ooops!!! Part was being hectic and the other part was that I just lost total interest in blogging :(!! I was in a constant writers block and I was finding it very hard to juggle two kids, a job, and I guess my private life.</div>
<br />
So, where what I have been up to in the last three months?!? Well, first of I got my first job.. YAY!! it was only a job for christmas as Emilee was only four months old and well, I needed to get my ass into gear. I felt so cooped up at home all day that I felt I needed a change, and well I went and got a job to see if it would help me. and it did!!<br />
<br />
Many would love to stay at home with their babies, but I felt that I needed to see if I was more of a working momma or a stay at home momma...?! and still to this point, I have no idea haha!! maybe a part time job after Emilee turns 1, but beggars can't be chooser so I guess ill just go with the flow.<br />
<br />
So, as my job was pretty much full time after four weeks, I barely got to have time with my babies let alone blog, so I pretty much forgot about blogging and focused on work. Then my contract ended, and I was truly gutted, I fell into a little hole where I just wanted to stay at home.. (The one reason for getting that job)<br />
<br />
Its been a month since my contract ended, and I'm just about getting used to being a stay at home momma again. Emilee is so more active and Kayden, well he's a little nutcase/teenager.<br />
<br />
We have been making plans to move AGAIN!!!! (Ugh!) Which is in about two weeks, so we've been painting & sorting out our new home. Praying this is the last time until we have our own home to move into :)!<br />
<br />
So between working, moving and adjusted to being a mumma of two my blogging has really felt left out!! hopefully I will change that from here on in :D<br />
<br />
Ive got a little notebook from TK MAX, so ill be jotting down ideas for blogs, crafts, and hopefully some baby recipes as Emilee is on stickily homemade meals!! and she's loving it, Her favourite meal so far is Sweet Potato and Carrots!! She hasn't tried much as she's only 7 months old and has been on solids for about three weeks, so what I am doing is giving her one vegetable a week and then ill start mixing vegetable and other foods! Exciting :)<br />
<br />
And I've also noticed, Kayden has an imaginary friend who he talks to all day!! Its pretty freaky but I guess he's happy!! haha! He constantly gives out to him for doing bold things and comes running to me telling on him, which I have no idea how to react, other than being freaked out haha!!<br />
<br />
This what happens when I blog, i just ramble on and I've no idea where this blog is going haha!<br />
Anyway thanks for reading,<br />

Laughs so much now! has such a hearty laugh that i just want to hear it ALL the time! starting to turn on her side and staying there and then will roll onto other side. Can now hold her own bottle and feed herself YAY! sometimes she won't, but that because il be holding her.<br />
<br />
Her 4 month injections are on Monday, which i just dread. Its horrible.<br />
<br />
Health nurse check up went great, she was super happy with Emilees growth/milestones etc. She was very surprised with how Emilee could hold her head so well and very steady. Her charts are on point! and we've given the go ahead to start solids but I'm holding off as much as i can, until i feel like she really needs it!</div>
<div style="color: #797979; text-align: center;">
6 months she will be on solids either way, but for right now i think she's ok with the bottle!</div>
<div style="color: #797979; text-align: center;">

<br />
As some may know, I was diagnosed with pregnancy diabetes while pregnant with Emilee. My body was working 4 times as hard being pregnant that my pancreas wasn't able to produce as much insulin as I needed.<br />
<br />
I was diagnosed at 26 weeks pregnant. I went into hospital to do the glucose tolerance test, which basically I had to drink a bottle of lucazade and get my blood tested every hour for three hours to see how my sugar levels were. I obviously failed. LOL<br />
<br />
It was a complete shock to me, I cried, a lot! I didn't tell anyone for a while because I felt I made it happen. But I didn't, I didn't eat too much sugar or too much carbs, my body was just working too hard to make sure Emilee was getting all she needed.<br />
<br />
I tested my sugars at home 7 times a day, thankfully I didn't need insulin as the strict diet was doing enough to stabilise my sugars.<br />
<br />
The diet wasn't a complete change in my lifestyle, it was strictly no sugar and less carbs. Instead of white bread I would eat brown, instead of potatoes I would eat handful of baby potatoes. Even fruit was limited! i was only allowed a handful of fruit, so I could only eat whatever fit in one hand for example two kiwis.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>Did you know that only one can of coke can a day increase your chances of developing diabetes by 20%</i></span></div>
<br />
I was warned about having a big baby but Emilee measured small up until 35 weeks, where think she catch up with her weight. She weighted 8pounds 3oz which to me wasn't big at all compared to her big brother who weighted 8pounds 10oz?!?! I think haha!!<br />
<br />
After she was born, she had her bloods tested after every feed, my breast milk didn't have enough sugar for her blood sugars to even out so I ended up having to give her formula to regulate them, which I kept on doing until she was weened off the boob at 9 weeks old :)<br />
<br />
The doctors told me to keep up with the diet as I still could have diabetes but honestly I went straight to get a jam doughnut as I was craving it so badly!!! some things are very sweet to me, as I didn't have sugar for so long!<br />
<br />
12 weeks after given birth i was given an appointment to do a repeat glucose test, which again involved drinking a bottle of lucazade and getting my blood drawn after two hours.<br />
<br />
Last week i got the result back, and thankfully I am diabetes free!! but if i decide to have another baby the chances are high that i will have pregnancy diabetes again, and I've also a 50/50 chance of developing type 2 diabetes in the future. So with that I will have to test once a year to see if I've developed diabetes or not.<br />
<br />
Honestly, I had no symptoms what so ever!! But diabetes can be very dangerous if not diagnosed! it would be a good idea to get tested once a year if it does run in the family or if you experience any symptoms such as;<br />
constantly thirty, increase in hunger, tiredness, blurred vision, frequent urination...<br />
(As I'm writing this, it honestly sounds like pregnancy symptoms)<br />
<br />
Diabetes is nothing to be joked about, or laughed at. People with diabetes are normal people but need help with insulin. Weather they inject or on medication, its a very serious matter.<br />

<br />
I have been working on a major project for the last few weeks, that I feel it's time to share! I wanted to set myself goals this year and this project was one of them!<br />
<br />
When Emilee was born I was given a Sewing Machine as I wanted to make a cushion for on top of a bench I have in the play room <i>(That still needs to be done)</i> but instead I started researching other sewing project that I wanted to try. getting super excited of course I jumped right into it, pretty sure Pietro was sick of looking at different patterns, probably all looked to same to him ;)<br />
<br />
Of course it was trail and error for many weeks, experimenting with different fabrics, backing fabrics and of course getting to know my sewing machine!<br />
<br />
Thankfully I knew how to use a sewing machine and didn't need help, plus YouTube was a major help when I was struggling!! And with money being low, I could only afford a little bit of fabric at a time, so the process was slow, but at least it made me try to perfect them right away!!<br />
<br />
I've so many projects up my sleeve that I am working on at the moment that its quite early to share just yet!!! but you will find out soon :)<br />
<br />
Im super nervous when it comes to projects as I'm just a perfectionist with my work! Im the worst critic of my work, as I found out from college!!<br />
<br />
So, <i>*Drum Roll*</i> let me introduce to you the <b>Bandana Bibs</b>! Ive yet to choose a name for them and I've still a little more work to do!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Emilee has been wearing them for about three weeks now, and I'm super happy how they look on her! Perfect timing as she's starting to dribble like crazy!!<br />
<br />
They are made out of 100% soft cotton, for delicate faces! Im still working on the backing, making sure the dribbles don't soak through, Emilee is doing great being my Guinea Pig ;) & of course she's loving the photo shoots ;) My goals are to have Emilee from head to toe wearing my crafts... Ha joking! <i>Or am I? </i>;)<br />
<br />
With this project i'd love to grow more and make Bandana Bibs for those who are willing to buy off me! And with that, ill be adding more & more projects to the list!!<br />

I love anything crafty & artistic so I'm super excited that I'm making Emilee a few bits for her to enjoy :) and for myself to be proud that she's wearing something I've made!<br />

When I was expecting Emilee, we tried our hardest to get Kayden to walk instead of being in the buggy as we weren't going to purchase a double buggy and have him grow out of it in a few months.<br />
<br />
But it was hard, he keep running away and wouldn't hold our hands or walk beside us, we were frustrated and annoyed at the same time thinking we will have to purchase a buggy so that it would be easy on us to go out and about on our day.<br />
<br />
Until I heard of the buggy board, I liked the thought of the idea so I researched into the board (Yes, i research everything), its suitable for 2 years and up and fits 99% of all buggies. We purchased the Icandy peach 3 buggy. So I was a little worried it wouldn't fit, but thankfully the website has tutorials on every buggy as I was able to see how to attach the board.<br />
<br />
We ended up purchasing the buggy board in my home town, but it is also available in <a href="http://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/baby/pushchairs/c-618/pushchair-accessories/p-455/lascal-maxi-buggyboard/" target="_blank">Smyths</a> for 79.99euro.<br />
<br />
It is a bit pricey, Thankfully we were given it as a gift for when Emilee was born. But in saying that I would have purchased it myself.<br />
<br />
It was a little tricky to put together, but on the other hand we were in the parking lot LOL!!<br />
At first we put it on wrong, so it was little awkward at first until we finally figured it out and SUCCESS we had a great shopping trip without Kayden running away or having a tantrum that we weren't going into the shop that he wanted to go into!! Also a plus is that he could entertain Emilee as she Loves to talk to her big brother!<br />
<br />
But I must say it does have some disadvantages - its quite hard to do sharp turns as his weight is holding it down, and just writing this blog i found out the near top weight is 20KG and I'm pretty sure he's a little heavier than 20kg :( If its not clicked in properly it will unhook as you turn, which is a nightmare to hold a three year old on try click it back with one hand!<br />
<br />
But honestly it makes our day outings and shopping trips SO much easier! It has saved my life and has given me a stress free day without worrying if we are going to be running after a hyper toddler while tackling the groceries!<br />
<br />
Also which is get is that while putting it together you don't need any tools, in the box is given all the nitty gritty things you might need for your certain buggy, but i would advise on looking up tutorials on youtube or on the website to see how to attach the board.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">The picture is a little blurry but you can clearly see how easy it fits on the buggy and how comfortly Kayden looks standing on the buggy board!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall, I've mixed feeling sabot the buggy board but I'm glad it makes our outings a lot easier!</div>

Last week I was lucky enough to get my hands on the <i>Smashbox Shapematters palette</i>! It was a star gift in Boots last week and was on offer for 38euro, in which the full price was 78euro! Can you believe that!!!<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Its a palette that covers B<i>rows, Contouring and Highlighting & Eyeshadows</i>! basically an all in one palette! all you need extra is your foundation and concealer & some lippy!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is my first purchase from Smashbox so I was super excited to get my hands on it!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My first expression was that the packaging completely sold me! matte black case with gloss black typography! Very classy in my opinion!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>So what do you get for your money?</i></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Brows</b>; The brow products are placed on the far left on the palette with the wax covered with a plastic case, which I thought was pretty genius so that the powder wouldn't ruin the wax! It then has two brow powders in <i>Taupe</i> & <i>Soft brown</i>. I used the soft brown on my outer brow and surprisingly taupe is the perfect lighter colour for my inner brow, I then groomed my brow to blend the powders and to make it look like a more natural full brow! The wax is nice and soft and holds the powder all day, and the powders are easily blended and quite creamy!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Face</b>; I'm a total contour freak! I can not go one day without contouring, as my face is very round, I feel it gives my face some definition so I was super eager to try the contour and highlighting!! The contour is the perfect grey tone for under your cheek bone, the <i>bronzer</i> doesn't give an orange tone which is brilliant and warms up my face amazingly. I find the <i>highlight</i> doesn't actually "highlight" my skin quite as my as glow does. but I actually used it as an under eye setting powder and I found this worked perfectly, I pressed the powder under my eyes as I do tend to crease and it held my concealer very well! As for the <i>Glow</i>! AMAZING, loved the finish it gave my skin. Im very into the dewy look for Autumn/Winter as my skin does tend to look dry around this time of year that I wanted to make my skin look nice and fresh!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Eyes</b>; I found after my first use of the eyeshadows, the palette got quite dusty but other than that the colour is quite pigmented and creamy! They are so easy to blend and are great at building! The first row of eyeshadows looks to me to be "base" or "all over" colours. <i>Vanilla</i> and <i>Totally Nude</i> are Matte shades and <i>Champagne</i> is a shimmer shade. The second row would be really nice as transition shades or lovely in the crease for a very light day look. They would also be great as an over all colour. My favourite is Stripped, its a great warm toned - off orange for transition shade! <i>Stripped</i> is Matte and <i>Posh</i> & <i>Platinum</i> are Shimmer. The last row in which are great for defining the crease or outer V are dark shades, great for evening makeup or just a strong eye look. <i>Sumatra</i>, <i>Aubergine</i> and <i>Blackout </i>are all Matte. I find these dark shades to last and to have the most pigment.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Included in the Palette is a two ended brush, brow and eyeshadow. Also a very LARGE mirror which is the perfect size to do a full face!! There is also a little packet of How To cards that you can go online and look at tutorials! Great idea for those who are unsure on how to use this palette!<br />
<br />
Overall, Im in love with this palette, I've been using it every day. I find it so handy not having to root through my makeup to find a certain eyeshadow or my brow products. It was a great purchase and with that offer who could turn it down? </div>

Hasn't chuckled since then, i am trying my hardest to get her to laugh but no use LOL she'll laugh in her own time :)<br />
<br />
Her two month injections were a nightmare, she roared through them, but it didn't effect her mood the next few days so everything went okay :)<br />

When i was pregnant with Emilee, I researched into Baby wearing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I totally feel in love with the idea of baby wearing that i looked into the right carrier for me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And wow are they expensive!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted a carrier that was the right price but also that would suit a newborn until Emilee didn't want to be in the carrier anymore!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I looked into the big brands, but it turned out you have to buy add ons to suit newborns etc!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I researched more about this carrier, on youtube it gave me tutorials on how to use the carrier!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you can but the baby in four positions;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
facing forward</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
breastfeeding position</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then there is the different ways in facing you, arms tucked in (Newborn) and arms and head out (4m+)</div>
<br />

So it comes in a way that you dont need to wrap it around you yourself, so you place it over you head and your arms in the sides! also have the rings to tuck tighter or loosen as your baby grows</div>

This the front that would be on your chest/tummy when you have it on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is quiet easy to put the baby in, in the manual it gives you different ways and how to place baby in safety and properly!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the one thing when i research is that the babys legs have to be in a "W" as if it isn't, it can really harm baby's hips! so every time she's in the carrier ins the first thing i check!!</div>

Im absolutely in love with baby wearing! I would encourage any new mammy to baby wear!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Emilee sleeps all the time she's in the carrier, so it just proves that she feels safe and warm! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And she knows she with her mammy ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
between hair products, fake tan to makeup!</div>

The first product I've used up is Vo5 revive me daily shampoo and conditioner! I got this on offer in Asda i think it was 4 for 3£ at the time! which works out to be over 5e </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I've been using this set for over a month and i must say i love it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
especially with my hair falling out and being dry! This has really helped along with getting my hair cut! I have another set with I'm currently using now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I probally won't re-purchase, but I might try some other type in the brand!</div>

I absolutely LOVE bBold tan! its one of the best I've every tried only downside is that its 18e per bottle! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bottle did last me a fews months! The colour is great and it has the colour when your applying so you dont miss an area or have streaks, its easy to apply (I use a tanning mitt) and the tan lasts about 5-7 days, of course longer if you look after your tan it will last a good while!!</div>

Ive had this pressed powder for about three months, it isn't the first thing i go grab for setting my makeup (As you can tell it isn't used up) but I've hit pan and that when i usually stop using my products! Its does its job but I've had better drugstore powders! I won't be re-puchasing this powder, as I want to try out some new ones. Any suggestions?:)</div>

Revlon photo ready airbrush effect foundation is probably my go to drugstore foundation, i find it very like Mac studio fix! It give a lovely finish and it is build able coverage! It does have a little glitter in the formula but it isn't truly noticeable, i suppose that is for the photography side of thing!</div>

I have very short eyelashes, and I'm always trying to find a mascara to lengthen the, and to give volume. This rimmel mascara doesn't really work for me but for some reason i kept using it and picking it over other mascaras!! I will be buying another mascara as i still haven't found the one i love yet!!</div>

As you can see Im defiantly in love with Maybelline The Eraser eye concealer!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! Can't get enough, it doesn't crease on me and covers my dark circle!! I use the colour light, but it nearly matches my foundation so it doesn't really brighten my under eye!</div>

This week our adventures led us the Boora Parklands Discovery Park.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The parklands are just outside Ferbane, Co. Offaly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The best thing is that there is no entrance fee and you can wonder as you like! Which is a bonus if you have small tots that like to run as they please!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there was a bit of an overcast and a tad windy but it wasn't wet and rainy, so we just brought light jackets and hoodies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also decided to bring a little picnic as I knew there was a little hut there for bird watching that we could sit in there and have a nice cuppa tae ;)!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kayden was loving the fact we had a picnic, he was so excited!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is benches around the parklands to sit and eat also :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We just brought the usual things, ready made up rolls we did at home, sandwiches, crisps, apples, doughnuts for something sweet, and some chocolate! we brought a flask of hot water, a bottle of milk and a little container of sugar! plus some 7up and water! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The park has many different trails to go on, we got a little confused and went another way as usual but still ended up seeing the sculptures!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kayden had a great time running ahead of us and then waiting for us to catch up... then he would run off again! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emilee was in the baby carrier as the trail has a lot of stones and gravel that the buggy would be too shaky for her to sleep! but she slept all through the walk, she loves the baby carrier which is a bonus!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sculptures have a little description near it to tell you about the artist and a little about the sculpture itself! Kayden of course loved the trains, as he could climb all around them and sit inside the train pretending to be the driver!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Theres also a little fairy trail you can follow, and find letters to make up a word with the kiddies! at the end of the trail is a fairy circle in which the fairies dance all night! Kayden was very aware and was terrified incase he stepped on a little fairy LOL!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And you can also hire bikes from the visitor centre :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent a total of two hours there, from eating our picnic to walk around! Its a lovely day out, a great way to get exercise for yourself and the kids! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even to see the pieces of Art around the trail is pretty cool! Little tots might not understand but a good few that the kids can play on!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

So I've been totally absence from blogging as I was crazy busy with a family wedding!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last two weeks has been full blown!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As its finally settling down, myself and Pietro have came up with an 'End of year' Resolution ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That one day of the week, we get out of the house and we go on a little adventure with the babies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've decided that if its possible to spend as little money as can be just to prove that you don't need to spend loads to have fun, especially with little tots!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as out first adventure we went for a little stroll along the canal in our town! Well the canal is dried up but its a pretty site and kayden can run around and have fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We choose to bring his little bike (He's still a bit wobbly) so he had something to do instead of asking to get up on his daddy's shoulders as he does :P</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The leaves are just starting to turn orange and brown! (My favourite part of Autumn)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I just loved the relaxing feeling it gave.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Going on a stroll with an 11 week old is pretty risky as it is, as Emilee is at the age where she does sleep all the time but when she's awake she wants to be up and looking!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I brought my Baby carrier and it worked a charm :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't want to bring my baby bag so thankfully I had a Rucksack & cover set bag from <a href="https://www.frogbikes.com/" target="_blank">Frog Bikes</a> that would be great as a nappy bag. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The bag comes with adjustable padded straps with reflective strips (</span>especially<span style="font-family: inherit;"> when the dark nights are settling in), Integrated wet kit bag can be used for runners but I actually used them for Emilee's clothes as she spit up after feeding her which was so handy, Front pocket contains mobile phone holder, key ring and organiser, Side cargo mesh pockets suitable for a water bottle or baby bottles. </span></div>
<br />
<br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The </span>rucksack cover has <span style="font-family: inherit;">15 - 35 litres capacity, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Highly reflective strips, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Integrated flashing lights which is great for young kids such a kayden as he can hardly be seen on the path as </span>he's<span style="font-family: inherit;"> small, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Elasticated edging and strap for secure fastening!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We packed it with our essentials, which in fact the bag could hold twice as much! Even more if we were going for a longer trip!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a little picnic after just incase we were there longer than expected! And of course kayden will ask for something to eat! He is a growing boy after all ;)</div>

As being a mammy, I've know become an overly protective mother, and its all about safety with me! Thankfully kayden is all about safety too and he was glad to wear his helmet from <a href="https://www.frogbikes.com/" target="_blank">Frogs Bikes</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It fitted well and kayden was able to hook on the helmet himself (Proud moment for mammy) It has a flashing red light on the back of the helmet with is great incase it became too dark quickly, he loved the fact it was flashing red, so he had no bother having it on (Thankfully) and highly reflective strips!</div>

When it comes to makeup, I usually go for the easy & simple look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something it can be done in 10 minute max, and I don't have to worry that I won't have time to get ready if I'm heading out the door in a rush!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I usually want a simple eye, nude lip and bronzed face!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I do have a little more time, I can spend more time on my eyes or add a little highlighter. But it really depends ;)<br />
<br />
Here is what i use everyday for my makeup. Some are high end makeup, but thats mainly gifts I've gotten from family & friends!<br />
<br />

<i>*Yes, Im aware that my brushes need a clean :P*</i><br />
<br />
Simple Tricks I use to speed up time;<br />
I use my bronzer as my crease eyeshadow to add dimension.<br />
I sometimes just use concealer as foundation if my tan is fading, then bronze my face a little more than usual.<br />
I use the "Baking" effect mostly every day. I find it makes my makeup last longer.<br />
<br />
My eyeliner is terrible, I always rush it and its never even LOL but who has time for even eyeliner right ;)<br />

Ive been blogging for two years now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seems like yesterday my good friend was telling me to blog and i kept thinking</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"What would i even write about?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that I'm out of college and a stay at home mammy, Ive really been putting thoughts into my blog going that little further!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I've changed my name to "Raising Crazy Things"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As anyone who knows Kayden, He's a little crazy sometimes, and no doubt Emilee will be right beside him! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ive also designed a little family based on us :) <i>I'm pretty proud of it :)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My morning usually starts when kayden walks into our room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a pretty light sleeper so I always hear him getting out of the bed and pit n pattering into ours!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He opens the door, then crawls into our bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I'm lucky he will fall back to sleep and I get the extra wink of sleep, but usually he's full of life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He doesn't have a set time when he wakes up, it could range from half 7 to 10!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emilee usually wakes when she hears kayden in the morning, and with that she's usually hungry so I pop her into bed with me and feed her, sometimes she will fall back to sleep, other time I've to give her the bottle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once I've finished feeding Emilee, she's then burped and changed and put back into her crib!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If its really early, and kayden is too awake for me, I hand him the iPad to watch Peppa pig and I lie down beside him! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I usually wait until he's asking me for his breakfast to go downstairs!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emilee is usually asleep by now so I leave her as she is and head downstairs with kayden.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pop on the tv, it's between cartoons or football that's on in the morning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kayden then gets his breakfast, it's a pick between Cheerios or wheatabix LOL!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When he's breakfast is finished, I then get him dressed for the day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emilee is still upstairs at this stage so I head up to her to see if she's still asleep, if so il get ready myself if I've plans for the day, if not il tidy, wash bottles, anything that needs to be done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then remember to get breakfast!<br />
I then catch up on all my social media - Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, snapchat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With all that happening, Emilee is up! Due to be feed, changed and burped!<br />
She'll then be dressed and awake for about an hour!!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Emilee is all settled, it's usually around midday and it's time for kaydens nap!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Finally</i> :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing really to hectic for the morning time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a whole different story if I'm going off with the kiddies!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all go for a nap in the afternoon until Pietro is home from work!</div>

Being a new mammy to two.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life right now is all about the "mammy hacks"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My day is pretty hectic just looking after a three year old & a seven week old!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when it comes to cleaning, washing up, laundry.. It's pushed to the back ofmy mind and then I'm left with a messy house and no time to sort it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ARGHH!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So for the past several weeks I've come up with a few "mammy hacks" that have saved my life recently!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Number one</b>: <i>This is well known by now</i>, DRY SHAMPOO!!! It has saved my life, I've to wait on Pietro to be home to shower as Emilee is way to young to be left sleeping while I shower, so to make myself look presentable when I don't have time or can't shower I use dry shampoo!! It works the charm, I tie my hair up and it looks fresh as a daisy ;) when secretly it needs a wash!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Number two</b>: putting everything for nighttime stock up in your side drawers. I've a chest of drawers beside Emilees crib, and one drawers is full of nappies, wipes, changing mat, nappy cream, nose sucker for those boogers, nipple cream, bibs, dodos, everything that is needed for nighttime. As who wants to be taking trips downstairs when they are so tired. So ive made it easier on myself and put this draw together. I've also one downstairs in the sitting room, and one for Kayden two full of pull ups!! (We're in the middle of potty training!!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Number three</b>: having all your cleaning products in one basket to carry around with you, so your not constantly walking back and forward for one product at a time. I've a basket full of sprays, bathroom cleaners, cloths, black bags, everything that it's easy to go room to room and clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Number four</b>: Kayden is forever wanting to help clean but I hate him using the cleaning products as they are not safe for him. So I use a little travel size spray bottle, but cut in lemon and warm water, and he uses this to clean tables and windows :) he loves it!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Number five</b>: After the laundry is done. I separate clothes into baskets. So the four of our clothes are in four different baskets, that way I bring the one basket at a time to the room and hang up clothes or put the, where it needs to be. It may be a little more work but in my eyes it's more organised to put away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Number six</b>: The five second hairstyle. My hair right now is usually tied in a bun or tied up ponytail. It's so easy to do and I usually mess it up so it looks like I took my time to look good!! When I most likely rushed it!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Number seven</b>: I always have my nappy bag packed for when I leave, I replace anything that I've used that day. Such as nappies or nappy bags. That way i don't need to spend half an hour thinking of what I need, and might forget something important. Like bottles (I've done that before with kayden haha) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Number eight:</b> when doing the shopping, buy some "on the go food" for yourself. Plenty of times I've ran out the door without eating so I make sure that I pick up something to eat in the car!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And also bring extra for the day!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now that is all I can think about haha</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully some of these help or if you have one comment below telling me what it is!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

When I gave birth to Kayden, I tried my hardest to breastfeed. It was always something I wanted to do, but when he simply didn't want to, I was heartbroken. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was always on my mind that I wasn't able to breastfeed, so when we found out we were expecting Emilee, I told myself that I will try my best to breastfeed. Even if it's for the first month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emilee is now 6 weeks, and I'm so happy to say im still breastfeeding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do have to top her up sometimes, but honestly the fact I'm breastfeeding aswell makes me happy!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a rough start at first, I was doubting myself constantly. I was so tired from feeding every two hours, I just wanted to sleep.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TMI.. My nipples were killing me, she had such a bad latch as she has a small mouth. The cream was helping for the most part. But I honestly wanted to cry every time she was latching.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as I left the hospital, I went start to boots to get nipple shields. Which basically gives your nipples a break and let's them heal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They saved my life. Literally.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was relief start away and I was able to relax during feeds and experiment different positions to see what worked best for the both of us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I probably should thank the nipple shields, I'd say if I didn't have them.. I wouldn't still be breastfeeding!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was the hardest thing to do, I was up every two hours at night, sometimes up with kayden in the morning. I could only nap rarely.<br />
It was something to get used to as well as becoming a mammy to two! The fact that I was the only one being able to feed emilee, i felt that my full attention was on Emilee and Kayden was being left out at times! But that has soon changed, Myself and Kayden have it worked out ;)!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dignity was out the window in my parents house, I would literally pop them out to feed LOL!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did ask if was okay to do so, just in case they didn't want to stare at my breasts while feeding!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm currently trying to increase my supply, I'm taking fenugreek, and eating porridge in the morning.. Im constantly trying to look up other foods/herbs to increase my supply. but its an ongoing project!<br />
<br />
I have breastfed in public. And it was so daunting, I felt like everyone was staring (They probably wasn't) I felt stressed trying to get her to latch while not showing any bare skin basically.<br />
It was hard for the first go, but since then I literally just go with it.<br />
<br />
Its not common to see a woman breastfeed their baby in public in Ireland so I can only imagine peoples reaction when they come across this, women feel insecure and feel like they need to hid the fact that they are feeding their hungry baby. I knew myself if someone came up to me and told me to feed my child somewhere else, they would get a mouthful from me!!<br />
but i suppose everyone has their opinions.<br />
They can always turn around and not look!!<br />
<br />
I have a few favourites for breastfeeding;<br />
Number one - Nursing pillow; It came in handy for the first two weeks as my body was recovering, it helped Emilee get in a comfy position and My arms wasn't tired from holding her.<br />
<br />
Number Two - Tank tops & Blouses; I didn't want to buy a ton of nursing tops as i didn't know if it would be successful or not. So i recycled my tank tops and blouses. The blouse would button open and i would pull my tank top under my breast and unhook my nursing bra. It was so simple and not costly at all!! So I'm still wearing normal clothes. apart from a nursing bra!<br />
<br />
Number Three - Nipple shields; I have the Medela brand which cost around 11euro in boots. It comes with a yellow case and two shields. They are so easy to wash and sterile! and the case is small so handy to pop in your pocket/nappy bag and head out the door!<br />
<br />
Number four - Breastfeeding cover; My friend gave me hers as a gift and I've not gone without it. It pops over your head and under one arm and you pop your baby onto the boob and feed away knowing your covered and decent! Cant thank her enough for the cover, as it just slipped my mind!<br />
<br />
So that is my breastfeeding update. i really don't know how long I will breastfeed for, I'm in two minds. I'm so attached that I know it will be hard to just bottle-fed Emilee.<br />
<br />
You really do bond with your baby when breastfeeding. I love when she looks up at me and her hand is resting on me! She just loves her breast milk and I'm loving breastfeeding!<br />
<br />

I can't even come to terms that my little girl is already One Month old :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She currently is weighting 9pounds 10oz! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I haven't measured her length yet :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is still being breastfed plus the odd top-up with formula!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Breastfeeding is going well, I breastfed in public for the first time this week. It was a little bit daunting but it was a success! I used a cover given to me by a friend, so i was well covered up. But to me coving up makes it so more noticeable and people stare more! but I wouldn't go bare breast on show haha! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Im currently trying to increase my supply so i can't cancel out formula altogether! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has fussy hours between 11-half 1 at night, I think this is due to wind gathering during the day and her being over tired! but once she settles she sleeps until 7 in the morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loves staring at lights or the windows, And she has starting to focus more on my face during feds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AND.. She smiled at me :D Proud momma moment :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emilee loves being close, so I'm planning on baby wearing! Ive researched lots of baby wraps, but most are from the US and the shipping charge costs as much as the wrap. So i've found a wrap in Boots which it looks like I will get it. Its called the Caboo carrier and the reviews are looking good :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is currently in up to one month clothes, but still fitting into newborn vests. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not else much to say as she just sleeps, eats, poops and repeats :P !!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My recovery is slowing down a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ive been experiencing very bad back pain. Its mainly in the lower part of my back. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought this was due to after effects of the epidural, but I've been told its because I'm on my feet all day and my back id still very weak that it is being strained. So from that I'm trying to rest a little more. Not pick up anything heavier that Emilee!</div>

I can't believe Emilee is nearly three weeks old already!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't that crazy?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I might just add, That Emilee is pronounced Emily. I just changed the spelling to be different ;)</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this coming Wednesday Emilee will be three weeks old, and honestly it feel like she's been here way longer!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is still 50cm long, Same from birth. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And is now weighting 9pounds!!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which is great, as I'm breastfeeding and its just a good feeling to know she's getting enough milk from me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am topping her up with formula but she seems to be getting enough from me mostly and i just have to top her up before we go to bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She feeds every 2-4hours. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still fits most newborn clothes, but 'Up to 1 month' gives more room and seems nicely fitted!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In size 2 nappies :) Size 1 do fit but leaves marks on her chubby thighs ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She searches for Kayden when he's talking! It so cute :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With my recovery, I'm feeling great! I do tend to need a nap during the day (As I'm up with night feeds :P)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Im currently down 10kg in weight! Which I think the Breastfeeding is helping with that too. As i didn't gain any weight during the pregnancy, I'm actually losing pre-pregnancy weight!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Im so thirsty during the day, that I'm pretty sure I'm drinking even more than the daily amount.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With my diabetes, I haven't been checking my bloods but then again I haven't eaten any sugar (Apart from a Jam Doughnut that I've been craving for months!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I will need to retest in September/October!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Im still in maternity jeans/leggings! As I've no clothes what so ever! So il need to get a new wardrobe soon :D! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kaydens adjustment to being a big brother has gone so smoothly! He literally clicked into his new role! Absolutely loves Emilee!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Always wanting to hold her and kiss her, which is great :) !! He is still learning to be careful around her though.. Which is understandable as he is only two (Three next week) and he doesn't quite understand!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pietro had two weeks off so with me doing night feeds, he would get up with Kayden in the morning and let me sleep abit longer. But with him going back to work today! Ill be getting up with both babies, so i am expecting to be a bit more tired and lazy for a week or two!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But yeah, everything is going good :) Im so happy to be in my own place enjoying my babies :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emilee will grow up so fast that I'm trying to take in the newborn stage as much as i can!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for reading!</div>

As today mark's my due date..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Im over the moon to say Emilee Grace made her grand appearance on the 8th July, at 13:41pm. Weighting 8pounds 3oz!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know many won't really care about my birth story, but to me it's such an experience that I don't want to forget what happened, so blogging my story will let me read over and over as many times as i want ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At my 38 week hospital appointment, the doctor told me they were going to induce me due to having pregnancy diabetes. I was told I would be induced at 39weeks but they never gave me a date at that appointment, they told me that I would find out at my next hospital appointment, which was the 8th july... and to me it seemed a bit too late to be induced if I was meant to be at 39weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I rang the office and asked if I was given a date or was it even written down, the doctor than rang me back a few hours later saying I would be brought in on the 7th July at 8am to be induced.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the morning of 7th July, myself & Pietro headed to the hospital to be induced. Not knowing what to expect. I was very nervous, I didn't know how the induction would go or how long/short it would be! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was then brought into a room to be examined and for the midwives to check the baby, take blood, insert an cannula. Then was brought into the labour ward to wait for the doctor to come in and talk to us. He explained how the induction would work. It turned out that i was already 2cm dilated but he couldn't break my waters (TMI) so i was given gel to help soften and dilate a bit more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They left me for 6hours. which surprisingly went very fast!! I was then brought back into the labour ward, but didn't progress so I was given gel again and told they would see me at 11pm that night :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In that time, I was getting mild contractions which were getting stronger. I was able to breathe through each one and sometimes talk! I was praying they were doing something anyway!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So 11pm came. they put me on a monitor to see if i was getting contractions and to check baby's heartbeat. On the monitor you could clearly see I was getting contractions... but they weren't regular!! :( which meant I was in false labour pretty much!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Around 12am Pietro went home to rest while I of course had to stay in the hospital. I could barely rest due to the contractions. Thankfully I fell asleep about 5am but then was woken up at half 7 to go back to the labour ward to get examined again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And SUCCESS!! I was 3.5cm and they could break my waters!! They basically said to me that the contractions I am getting is only the gel trying to work, that if they break my waters.. it could send me into active labour or could do nothing at all and I would have to be put on a drip to kick start it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, as soon as I walked out of that room (around 9am) that contraction hit hard! I paced up and down my room breathing through the pain. Decided to ring Pietro about half 9 to tell him to come in to me, explaining what was happening.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pietro arrived just after ten, in the meantime I was a little vocal through my contractions! As soon as Pietro arrive I told him to get someone because I needed something for the pain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The midwife came in and seen I was a bit distressed, and asked if I wanted to know were the contractions doing anything. I said yes and found out I was dilated to a 4!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another midwife came in and said she has a room ready for us to make our way to the delivery room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The contractions were about 2-3 minutes apart and I was defiantly vocal (Pietro said you could only hear me if you were in the room with us, but to me I seemed louder LOL) !!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was given gas and air.. Which I didn't like at all! I was very dizzy after each contraction and it just didn't seem to work. The midwife knew I wanted the epidural so in process of moving rooms and settling in she rang for the epidural. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The doctor came to do the epidural around 11am. It took a very long while. I think I had about 5 contractions from start to finish! after it was done, I felt relief straight away (THANK GOD!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So about half 11, my midwife went on her lunch and another midwife took over from her. We were laughing around and just basically waiting for things to progress! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Half 12 she came back from her lunch and the rest of the midwives went on break.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was starting to feel some amount of pressure in my bum, which was hurting me. the nurse upped my epidural and examined me.. I was 7cm!! I couldn't believe it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I told Pietro that she will definitely be here by 3pm!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The midwife messed with me telling me that I was not to have a baby while everyone else was on lunch haha! as she was minding the other woman in labour for the other midwives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little after 1, I was breathing through the contraction and had such an intense feeling to push. It was so intense that I was basically pushing but trying not to!! I told Pietro to get the midwife that I need to push, she came running in.. examined me and I was 9cm! I told her that I really needed to push, she then explained that I had a bit of cervix there that a few more contraction then I will be ready.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
literally one contraction later.. I was ready to push!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
skipping the gory bit.. ten minutes later...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emilee Grace came into the world at 13:41pm :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cried my heart out seeing her! It was such an intense feeling and emotion that its a bit of a blur!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did skin to skin for about an hour, and I breastfed her in which she latched on really well :)!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Near to 3pm we were then transferred into the antenatal ward where we would spend the next two nights there!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, with the midwife telling me I wasn't allowed to give birth while the others were on lunch, Emilee was just born as they were coming back. I only had one midwife and Pietro in the room while giving birth. I was meant to have a student midwife but she didn't make it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The whole experience was amazing! I was in active labour for about 4 hours!! Pushed for ten minutes! and my recovery is going great! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the epidural I was up and walking 2 hours after. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am currently breastfeeding Emilee, which is going good! She's doing amazing and Im so in love with her!! her going home weight was 7pounds 14oz.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so happy to be home, in my own bed!! It's going to take a little while to get used to day to day life again :) haha! My Iron is low so I've no energy and night feeds have me wrecked anyways! So I'm resting and taking my time with tasks, and just enjoying being a mommy of two :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kayden is so in love with Emilee. He's constantly checking on her, asking if she's okay! Wanting to hold and cuddle her, kissing her! Hes just an amazing big brother :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
