A ROOM FOR ICARUS

Wednesday 22 August 2018

Icarus' first birthday is coming up, and we don't even live in this space anymore, so clearly it's a good time to share his bedroom! When I was pregnant, we knew we would be selling our flat at some point during his first year, but it was still important for me to create a special space for him - not because I wanted somewhere instagram-worthy, and not even for the baby, who wouldn't remember it, but because, in my head, this will always be his first bedroom. This cosy little box room used to be painted navy, and the only full-on hormonal meltdown I had during my whole pregnancy was when Darren said, 'it's just a room, he's not even going to remember it, let's just keep it how it is.' And I went nuts and said I cared about it more than our wedding! Ha!

PEANUT TOFU SALAD

Thursday 18 January 2018
In the last month or so we've managed to get the baby into a predictable nap routine, which means time to actually make and enjoy breakfast and lunch every day. Food styling and getting my big camera out aren't really a possibility/priority, but I'm so happy to have the time to indulge my cravings and not just rely on toast and tea.
