Exciting times! :)

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about money…..we need more of it to live comfortably and afford get a bigger place to live. However I wasn’t sure how I was going to make enough money to help us get by and raise a baby at the same time. I was talking last week with my best wifey Sarah (@PrincessPurling on twitter) and she suggested using my cake making talents which seemed like a good idea, but not enough. I mean everybody seems to be selling cakes nowadays! So I put my mind to it & came up with a few crafty money making ideas that stemmed a lot from things I have made for Henry since he was born & also organising his christening.

I was quite pleased with some of the ideas I had and discussed them with Abigail (@Myworriedshoes) when I met up with her & Joanna (@Stillawake) and their very cute babies last Thursday. Anyway over Coffee Abigail and I bounced crafty moneymaking (baby friendly) ideas off of each other and by the time we went our separate ways had formed an idea to work together on a project.

A few brainwaves later and we have a really exciting project in the pipeline that if it works could be something AMAZING! 🙂 We have a name, a concept, and a plan with the means to get started and I’ve been working hard over the last few days getting some of the groundwork done & for the first time in ages I’m excited….really excited! I have something to focus on that isn’t my baby or housework, but will allow me to carry on being with Henry most of the time. What’s not to like about that?!

I’m not going to say anymore for now, but watch this space, more will be revealed soon! 🙂 We’re meeting up this week to compare progress & get cracking……oh and to play with our cute baby boys too which is the whole point. 😀

6 months of Henry amazingness!

I just wanted to post some pictures
showing our first 6 months as a little family as Henry turned 6 months yesterday! It’s gone so quickly, yet so much has happened so I think pictures say much more than words can in this case…..all I’ll say is having him about has been the most amazing challenge of my life. I am very lucky to have a fantastic little boy, a loving partner & an adorable (if hyper) dog!
