The Style Bubble

Every so often I love to share what I have found useful. Why? Because being a mum its hard to know what you need, what you don't need and how much money it all is! So heres a little insight to what I am loving and I feel has been money well spent: Matchstick Monkey: Have you heard of Matchstick monkey? All I can say is move over Sophie the giraffe there is a new animal in town and I love it.. and as you can see so does Aria! I purchased this when Aria was 4 months old and I haven't looked back. It comes in all kinds of colours, its easy for baby to hold and chew/ suck on AND has a bumpy texture behind the monkeys head to help babies with the texture of brushing their teeth. She takes it most places and its easier to sterilise. For me this teething toy is a game changer and I recommend it to everyone with babies!     The IKEA highchair: Highchairs can be bulky/ expensive and hard to choose.

Last year I visited my first pumpkin patch at Aldenhams Country Park / Farm. I was 10 months pregnant and saw they had a whole Halloween theme on the farm for children so my husband and I vowed when our little one was here we would go back. Fast forward to October this year and guess where we went? Yes..

We just paid for entry and the car park as Aria is still quite young for the activities but I advise you to take cash (t

I did it! I hosted my first EVER baby halloween party. Now I'm a mum I've decided to roll my sleeves up and really get stuck into mum life. Aria is nearly 10 months old.. she understands more and more each day and I couldn't wait to dress her up and have her friends over. I wasn't going to blog about this but felt the need as I enjoyed organising/ buying and having this little celebration. The invite: I had to consider how many people I could have/ who would need inviting and the right time. I stuck with close friends and kept the numbers low.. with the children being babies its hectic as it is.. I would have loved to invited more but I tried to be realistic and creep it real! 11am - this is a great time for their age group and also gives the mums a chance to stick to their routine before the PARTY! The Outfit I saw so many super cute outfits! Seriously all the supermarkets have upped their game and online is even better. For this occasion I chose
