Better Together Home - Travel & Lifestyle Blog

We moved into our home last year, although there's still some stuff that needs unpacking and there's a lot of work still to do on our home renovation project. As it's going to be a while until we can fully decorate and update things to our tastes we have been focusing for the short term on making it feel more homely.

Living More Sustainably One of the focuses for me over the next few months is going to be increasing the ways in which we can live a more sustainable family lifestyle. I'm very conscious of the ongoing damage to our planet, climate and Eco-system and understand that my lifestyle choices contribute to that. Some people 'go-green' solely for the environment but living a more sustainable life can save you money too. [ 1,384 more word ] https://bettertogetherhome.com/…/simple -ways-to-live-a-mor…/

Trigger Warning: Negative Childbirth Story/PTSD Somehow it's already been 9 months since Theo made his arrival and I've not yet got round to sharing our labour and birth story. Part of that is because we've been very busy but it's also down to the fact that we had a very difficult time of it both during and after his birth. … [ 1,582 more word ] https://bettertogetherhome.com/…/my-lab our-birth-story-and…/

Bloody love this guy 💛 I'm the one with all the big (sometimes crazy!) ideas and he supports me on everything 🙌 He spent his day yesterday clearing part of the garden with a sledgehammer, digging up rubble and starting to build me some raised planters. He knows how important it is to me to get the garden done before summer and I know he'll be out there working on it whenever he can 😊 oh and he does it all whilst dressed like luke from the Gilmore Girls - what more can I want?! 😍

This poorly baby has a cold and I think he's got conjunctivitis too as his eyes are all sticky 😔 add that to sore gums and he's more than entitled to feel sorry for himself! He's such a happy baby still though - the odd grizzle but still ready with a smile and raspberry blowing and dribbly kisses 💛

Would really like to be there right now 👌 need to win the lotto so I can buy a little house in Scotland and bugger off out of London!

Yep 😂😂

It's Baltic out there today! Our local park pond has partially frozen but the beautiful views made up for the loooong walk to school in -2 degree weather 💛👌

Time flies when you're having fun 💙 . 7 months old already and definitely too big for his bath seat now 🙈 @ London, United Kingdom

So this mummy was wide awake at 6am but this little monkey slept in until 8:30!! Wish he would do that when I'm not wanting to get up early! 😂

So the tree might look a little bare BUT the plus side of having hardly any decorations is that decorating the Christmas tree was argument free for the first time ever 😂 my tree-decorating-ocd had no chance to kick in as the placement didn't really matter as long as the decorations stayed on the front third of the tree 🙈😂 . . We had Christmas music playing, hot chocolate and a fun evening with lots of laughter and bad singing. And, to borrow a line from the hokey cokey; that's what it's all about ❤

This little man had his first go in the 'upright' bit of his @cosatto pram today. He was a bit confused at first but soon got used to being able to see everything - he loved it 💛

Can you believe that Theo is nearly 6 months old? It's going so quickly! This time round we are going to be trying Baby Led Weaning and so I've put together a post of our BLW Essentials

She is just too cool for school 👌 we had a fantastic morning with @harpercollinsuk at the @littleinventors book launch - was such fun seeing what ideas the children came up with! . . Lily's were dentures that would help speechless people talk and could be used in other countries to instantly translate your words. And a wardrobe that would choose you an outfit based on the day's weather and plans for your day! #childrensbooks #thelittleinventorshandbook

Keeping warm today with coffee, blankets to snuggle under and my latest crochet project 👌💛 . . Some days we just need to chill out and relax and today is one of those. I contemplated doing some DIY jobs around the house but honestly my body is telling me to get some rest and I should probably listen to it more often! What are you up to today?

Accessorise.... nobody knows how to accessorise for Christmas the way @johnlewisandpartners do 😍 all the heart eyes for everything! . . Also I accessorised very well myself today... I got all the way to West End, walked around Oxford Street and was approached by a very dapper man who let me know that I had a sticker on my back... The offending item read 'fuller cup' and had come off of my new undies 🙈 I was mortified although he did have a point that it could have been worse- it could have said 'smart price' 😂 #mystylephotochallenge @ London, United Kingdom

Next time I ask 'why am I not losing weight?!' in exasperation, feel free to point to this photo 🙈 it's been a long morning already and this pit stop was much needed! Plus the new bonfire mix in @costacoffee is banging 👌😍 #obsessed

Theo's top says 'Lucky' and we truly are ❤ . . This little man was not just wanted, he was needed too. He really does light up the lives of everyone around him, especially his big sister ❤ #theoalexanderfox 🦊
