New year new life


So since I last wrote on my kids things blog a lot has happened. Mr Eli Almond is in the world. He's 6 weeks old today, which is a strange feeling. Where did those 6 weeks go? He was born after a bit of a long and difficult birth, and is now settling into to his life on the outside! 
Becoming a mum is an incredible journey, no matter how much people tell you, nothing can really prepare you for how you feel after having a little human being that is completely dependant on you for everything! I'm getting more and more confident with him by the week, but I did think to myself, how would I ever be able to leave the house again! 
I now spend hours gazing at him with a smile on my face wondering what he will look like when he's a bit older, what will his personality be like? and enjoying every precious minute with him!
Through this blog I hope to share with you things I do, and see,  and find, and creative things for creative kids ( I do hope he will be be creative after all he has two parents that are designers) and now I'm wondering how little Mr Eli will change me! 
so happy happy new year everyone, here's to an exiting and growing 2013!

    Aw Donna! Look at Eli! Congratulations to you. Being a parent is the most fantastic, challenging, exhausting, rewarding thing. That little person will teach you things about yourself you never knew... in a GOOD way! I'm so happy for you! :)

    Congratulations! What a gorgeous little bundle. The newborn days are such a blur, when they are happening it feels like forever and then looking back they go so fast.

    Aaah what a sweetie! Congratulations and well done - it's not easy bringing little people into the world is it?! Well worth all that hard work though. Parenthood is a rollercoaster but you never want to get off...what a great start to the year. Happy 2013! Rachel x

    Eli Almond, a little treasure to behold.

    I am approaching the (long and difficult) birth of my 3rd baby in the coming months and I STILL feel entirely unprepared!!
