A sneak peak into Scamps Boutique Working Space

This is my 'office' but I don't tend to spend much time in there, I prefer to work from the comfort of my own couch! But now all my work bits and pieces have a place to call home :)

I was so excited when I won a shaby chic bunting from Festoon Buntings, I couldn't wait to put it up though I ended up waiting about 4 weeks - it was worth the wait!

Have you heard of Sock-ings?

I'm in love with these funky knee high Merino socks for kids. Team them with one of our Littke Diva dresses or skirts and your girl will look very stylish!

We have an olive stripe that is perfect for the boys and girls alike.

Sock-ings have been designed to stay up to keep legs and feet warm day or night! Made from a blend of 80% Merino, 15% Nylon and 5% Elastic.

An insight into my two girls

I really love this photo that my wonderful husband took of me with our two girls.

Had to share this one of our baby sucking her toes. Brings a smile to my face everytime I look at it :)

Thought I would share a bit about the girls birth stories. I do enjoy hearing about birth stories even if does make me even more clucky.

Amelia was born in 2006, a planned home birth, and is turning 3 in Sept, I honestly can't believe my little baby is nearly 3! She is excited to be having a party but not too sure what we are doing for her. My 1st attempt was shocking! I burnt the bottoms of the cupcakes, and her cake wasn't cooked properly (ovens fault...I swear!) and fell to bits when I tried getting it out of the tin. So we had to do a mad rush to the bakery for one which meant Daddy couldn't eat it.

Kiya was born in 2009, should have been another home birth but unfortunately everything conspired against it, she was almost a road side baby but we made it to the maternity unit with about 5 mins to spare. At 5 months, Kiya is a big baby (I don't do small babies it would seem) already 67cm long so almost in size 0-size 1 clothes and is 7kg already so that means medium nappies - just another excuse to buy more nappies haha!

Did your birth go according to plan?
