VLOG: come thrifting in the cotswolds with me + upcycling furniture
TLDR: lots of second hand shopping! I ventured out to a cotswold village to see if their charity shops had more to offer than the ones closer to me. I also found and upcycled the perfect little ottoman/toy box for my 3 year old's bedroom 🤍

VLOG: how I'm prioritising myself in motherhood + getting festive!
Переглядів 1,1 тис.2 місяці тому
Am I being selfish? These are some of the ways I'm intentionally prioritising myself since having my second child. I really feel like after my first, self-care left the building and I was counting very basic tasks as self-care, when the reality is washing your hair should not be a luxury! I talk about pampering, post-natal yoga classes and book club while doing some mummy meal prep and putting ...

loved the vlog and your nails!!
❤
Thank you for sharing your story Sian! So encouraging to hear of a positive experience ❤
Hello! I was just wondering if the paints used are all child-safe? (My daughter is still into biting/licking toys and I'm desperate to upcycle some things but terrified of using the wrong paints!) Also, would you know how best to fix up a toy kitchen that has some laminate? Is that something that can be painted over? ❤ Thank you!!!
Hi! Frenchic state on their website “To start with, all our paints are water-based with minimal VOCs and EN71-3 certification so they are safe to use on children's toys.” So the majority of the paint is safe, yes. The spray paints however are not water based - I wouldn’t advise using any spray paint on a surface you think might end up in their mouth just to be sure. As for laminate, the frenchic ranges can be applied on a range of surfaces - definitely best to check their website for the best option for laminate but I’m sure they cater to it 😊
Loved listening to your story! I got my first baby at home in September and had a very positive birthing experience as well. I felt so powerful, supported and in control. You gave me the idea of a birthing comb and I think it really helped me :)
Absolutely, empowered is the word 🥰 I will rave about the birthing comb forever!
This is so similar to my birth! I watched your birth story from Rue whilst preparing for my September baby
🥰 so glad to hear you had a positive experience too! Your little one is a similar age to Pia then!
@ I think they’re days apart, I gave birth on the 18th. My oldest is about 6 months younger than Rue.
This was very encouraging and made me feel less anxious about pregnancy and giving birth♥
Thanks for uploading even when you’re major busy ❤❤❤❤
I was fully in support of Finn but Pia is just beautiful ❤.
Yes more of this! I’m 7 mo preggo and it encourages me our body is meant to go through this and not chicken out. ❤ loved hearing your experience
Yess you can do it! There are lots of variables but you can go through it all with a strong mind and feel empowered afterwards ❤ wishing you all the best!
Luv the blog Sian! And I don’t even have / want kids 😂
🥰 thank you!
Love a positive birth story! Had a horrendous first birth but second time round gave birth at home in water and it was the most incredible experience🥰
Oh my gosh I bet it was 😍 so glad you got to experience that especially after your first. I love the idea of a home birth but I just don’t find my current home relaxing 😅
Love this. We have similar birthing stories. I had no pain relief for both of mine. ❤
So incredible what the body can do 🥰
Love this! Thank you for the wonderful story, I had a really traumatic experience with my first birth and currently pregnant with my second, really hoping for a water birth like yours went, congratulations on beautiful pia!! 💕
So sorry to hear that. Hopefully your second is a wonderful, healing experience for you ❤❤❤ hope pregnancy is going well!
❤
Loved the leopard print skirt
You my love, are bloomin' gorgeous! Please stop being hard on yourself. I'm a bigger girl. In all ways, size 8 shoes, 5"8 tall, was a size 16 before baba, I'm now a size 18/20. I'm frumpy, I'm big, I'm blergh. I hate it. It's been 2 years and I'm not getting anywhere. I have ab seperation and depression, I lost my mother 3 weeks before I gave birth, I don't want sympathy I'm not posting for that, but it does play a big part with my weight (I'm a foodie when meh). Trust me when I say, you look amazing. I'd absolutely love to look like you. You are slim, you are pretty, your hair is amazing! You have a stunning shape to you. I can go on if you want! You are stunning! Own it! 😊 xxx
Merry Christmas to you Alex and the girls. I look forward to your vlogs! I love getting a peek into my faves life. Do you have a wishlist for the girls?
Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year to you and yours!
Rose on the Titanic 😂
I would happily watch old vlogs ;)
You look great! Merry Christmas luv the blog
I think you can look really gorgeous in a nice jumpsuit :-)

How have the tap and sink held up after spraying them?
Omg! I used to watch u on TikTok ages ago, can’t believe ur kid is 3 now!😂 I remember her little dinner plates. God bless her
❤
I can’t agree more of what you’ve said about motherhood. I’m pregnant with my second child and I can still remember with my first not able to wash my hair or style properly bc it felt daunting or so time consuming.
Yes exactly that! The hair thing is so real. I remember wondering when I'd ever have time for myself again
Loved this ❤ I'm a 2nd time mum and am definitely prioritising myself more this time qround!
I'm having my first baby next year and I'm taking in all of your tips. I'm so afraid of completely losing myself in motherhood but everything you said gives me hope! Loved this video, as usual 💕
Congratulations! Awareness of it is definitely the first step, so important to take care of yourself but there are so many wonderful things to look forward to as well 🥰
Love how much you are posting ! 😍
Thank you Hannah 🥰

Happy birthday!! My baby Girl named Rue will be 3 on March 6th! We're very similar on gifts! Do you have a yoto or toonie story player?
Awhhh lovely 🥰 yes we have a Tonie box! She loves it. I am planning to get the Yoto too at some stage
Happy birthday Rue! 🧸 Such a lovely idea for the number on the cake! 🥰 I always enjoy your videos Sian❣️
Such a cutie! Happy birthday Rue 🎉
Thank you! 💞
Happy birthday Rue!!!! Please can you link the video about toys and independent play that you were speaking about ❤

Coming up 😊
Watching this while nursing my 6 day old with my two year old daughter sitting beside me 😊 ❤
Ahhh congratulations! 🥰 hope it's all going wonderfully
I laughed so much about the second wife- that would have been my reaction as well 😂 ❤
😂 it could definitely have its perks that's all I'm saying
❤
Well done 👏👏👏👏👏
Awww congratulations ❤❤
