This month’s ‘Me and Mine photos will certainly be some of the most memorable in years to come. This August — having been to SO many festivals as a couple — we took our children to Shambala Festival for the very first time. Many would balk at the idea of taking two tiny people to a 4 day festival but this is …
Bertie’s Egg Allergy (& The Egg Allergy Test)
After ‘Bertie’s Egg Allergy‘ episode happened, we had been quickly referred for an appointment at Birmingham City Hospital. For Bertie’s immunology testing. Odd — seeing as Leicester (which is closer) has a reportedly amazing immunology department . But hey, we dance to the beat of the NHS drum. So we went along with it and …
31 weeks exactly — Some thoughts on life and dropping the dream feed
This week has seen two big milestones and it’s only Wednesday! The Twinkles were 7 months old on Sunday — my little men are growing so quickly — I wish I could slow everything down, set time to run on half-speed, so I can make the most of every nano-second of this first year. I …

Our 4 Month Twin Baby Routine
So. I tried the new twin baby routine. As predicted, the Twinkles are really not keen on sleeping from 3pm until 5pm in the afternoon. This part of the schedule is an epic fail… I tried the new routine for a couple of days, but on each day either one — or both — twins woke at around …

10 weeks and 6 days | A routine for newborn twins
Time has absolutely flown… tomorrow my boys will be 11 weeks old! I can’t believe how much they’ve grown and how things are changing, literally, day by day.
