Goodbye 2017, Hello 2018!

The last post of 2017 and what a year it's been for me, my life and the blog...

Pumpkin Patchin'

I started this blog as an outlet for myself and just wrote about life and things but yes, now it has been taken over by this little bird who appears on my instagram basically everyday. But these moments are precious and one day I hope she reads these posts and knows how loved she is. As a first time mother I'm experiencing firsts everyday thanks to her, and visiting a pumpkin patch is something I've always wanted to do but never have until now...

Summer Into Autumn

Summer is coming to an end and I'm ready to welcome in my favourite season with snuggly jumpers but I do like to keep an element of warm weather in my outfits for as long as I can. Queue the perfect Summer to Autumn sandals.

Sunflowers & Gingham

This is one of my favourite outfit posts this year, not because it's the best but just because it was a gorgeous sunny day spent in a field of sunshine flowers...

Sandy White Jeans

 A crazy busy week at home didn't let me shoot as many posts as I'd like but I had to do these white jeans, after years of loving from a far I committed and SO glad I did.

Frills and Waves

Our time in Cornwall was so wonderful we hardly shot any posts but this one was a last minute squeeze before we headed home. We spent our last morning on the beach in the sunshine so why not shoot this gorgeous blue dress?

May The Sea Set You Free

 An unintentionally 'Poldark' looking shoot back at home on Gwithian beach, one of my absolute favourite beaches that I visit every time I go back and the perfect place to shoot this gorgeous blue maxi dress...

Be A Wildflower

So sorry I've hardly posted recently, but...well...life. And it's been so gloriously warm we've been trying to enjoy it and just soak in the memories of this amazing summer. But I'm back talking about the perfect floral dress.

Sunshine Fields

Today is FiveFootFour's THIRD birthday! I can't believe how crazy and fast these years have gone and if someone had told me where I'd be now when I started I would NEVER have believed you (and it's exactly a week till my birthday...ahhh) I wanted to share a super pretty post with you today to celebrate...

To The Mothers That Are Still Recovering...

This is a post for the mothers who had traumatic births; for the mothers who were separated from their babies, for the mothers who were robbed of their final weeks of pregnancy, for the mothers who struggle to overcome the battle they fought to survive. 

My Wild Bird Love

Firstly I'm SUPER excited about this post and to be working this amazing brand. So many brands out there lack a strong behind them but Wild Bird is all about the Mamas and supporting each other, you get swept in the history of Taylor Gunn who created this wonderful product you feel part of the story yourself. I can honestly say because of this brand I have made friends in so many different countries because of their loving little support group.

My Love Meets My First Love

Ever since I found out I was pregnant I've been looking forward to this very moment. I dreamt everyday of taking her to see the sea for the first time. For me it is like her getting christened, her meeting the ocean that constantly gives me inner peace was so important to me, and this trip was more than perfect.

Organic Cot Bedding Approved by Kovah

I love being able to get my hands on as much organic and natural things as I can when it comes to my baby and I am delighted to introduce you to a wonderful brand that is all organic and nature friendly, The Little Green Sheep.

My First Mothers Day

If someone said this time last year that I'd be celebrating Mothers Day myself in 2017, I would have thought they were mad. Little did I know that it would be one of the most special days I'll ever have. 

OOTD

You can spend so long looking for the perfect pair of jeans and dare I say it...I've found mine. I love ripped jeans and I'm not  massive fan of jeans if they aren't. Pretty sure I have one nice pair of non-ripped jeans that now I hardly wear. These jeans are so comfy, super soft denim and just fit like a dream. 

Distressed Love

Hey my loves, so yes I have taken a bit of a break from my fashion stuff lately to address some things I felt I had to around the subject of motherhood but I am so excited to slowly break back into my fashion posts.

Starting off with a trend that I'm a bit obsessed with, distressed clothing. I wouldn't say I have one certain style like most bloggers, as somedays I like to wear floral playsuits and the next I'll embrace my inner rock chic and this distressed trend has slipped its way into my wardrobe. 

FED is best

Happy International Womens Day! 

Today is a day of celebrating being strong women and what better way to show how strong, persistent and super you are then talking about motherhood. Something us women are pro at. It's built into us, it's our instinct, it's what we were made to do. Us women should unite in harmony and share our amazing blessings with each other...however I'm sad to say this is not the case.

2 Months With Kovah Willow

When people say time flies when you have a baby, they weren't lying. HOW has it been 2 months already? It's amazing that I can't seem to remember my bump that well but it only feels like a few days ago I was meeting my daughter for the first time. It feels like she's been here forever but also, just a day. 

The Mother Also Matters

Since publishing my last post about my Pregnancy Story I have had so many people come and talk to me about how they are feeling health wise and emotionally. Firstly thank you to everyone getting in touch and I hope I've been able to help a few of you.

The chats I've had with some of you however has inspired a bit of a controversial post. So ladies, please keep an open mind and just hear me out before you decide to voice your opinions and disagree with me.

My Birth Story - Honest and Raw

It's been 3 weeks today since my world changed forever and it was quite the day to say the least. This is a pretty long post but for those who want to read about my birth story please do, and I honestly hope it will help some people in recognising preeclampsia or HELLP syndrome as both can be hugely devastating if left unnoticed. (Also this is a very honest and contains a lot of stuff that might make you uncomfortable but it's my story and I believe it's important in blogging to tell it how it is and not sugar coat things)
