These moments go by so quickly.
Some of our very first spring walks when he was still so tiny in his new pram!
Now somehow he’s already two months old, and I still can’t believe how fast the days are moving. Trying to soak up every little moment.

This might actually be her favourite thing in the whole room.
Motorised Roman blinds mean she can adjust the light without leaving bed. Which, let's be honest, is a big win!
No cords, no faff, just a quick press and it’s done.
One of those finishing touches that just brings everything together.

One of the very first things I set up while I was pregnant.
This childrens clothes rail from @roomixhome made it all feel "real". Unpacking Avi’s tiny clothes, folding everything away, and finally seeing his little space come together.
We’re not quite using it fully just yet, but I love that it’s there ready for him, and I know it’s going to be such a great piece as he gets older. Something that’ll (hopefully!) help him learn a bit of independence too.

Getting out the house with a newborn can feel like a mission some days, so I’ve really appreciated how easy the Breez from @silvercrossuk has been to use already.
Compact, practical and easy to fold away without taking over the house too.

Hema recently gave birth to her baby, Avi, after experiencing four previous pregnancy losses. Throughout her journey, our teams supported her every step of the way 💙
Reflecting on her experience, Hema shared: “Each of my previous losses shaped this pregnancy. When we saw a positive test for the fifth time, there was a brief moment of joy, but it was quickly followed by anxiety and the question of how long it would last.
“From early on, I was closely monitored and never made to feel like I was overreacting or worrying too much. It wasn’t just the medical care that got me through, it was the kindness, reassurance and understanding from the teams, and the way I was treated as a person.
“Thank you doesn’t feel like enough. You were there during some of the most vulnerable moments of my life, and the care you showed has stayed with me. We will always be grateful for the role you played in helping us bring our baby into the world.
“It’s hard to put into words what it means to have Avi. There’s so much joy, alongside a quiet awareness of what it took to get here. We don’t take this for granted for a second.
“Pregnancy after loss isn’t a ‘normal’ pregnancy – it carries a weight that doesn’t just disappear. To anyone going through something similar, you’re not alone, and however you’re coping is valid.”
Thank you for sharing your story, Hema 💙

Sometimes it really is one simple upgrade.
I finally upgraded my home office with motorised Roman blinds from @blindsdirectgb and the difference is instant.
Softer light, a cleaner finish, and a space that just feels more put together.
The best part?
One click and it adjusts perfectly… no fuss, no cords, just effortless.
And with everything feeling a bit busier lately, having something that just works at the touch of a button feels like a small luxury I didn’t know I needed.

6 weeks post c-section and finally dusting this space off.
Movement has always been more than just physical for me. It’s where I reset, where I feel like myself again.
I’ve missed it more than I expected, so I'm taking it slow and keeping it light.
I still kept moving during pregnancy, and I’m hoping to gently build back to that…maybe even jumping rope again by the end of the year.
For now, I’ve been enjoying slow spring walks with Avi.

Ten years ago today we met as strangers.
Who knew one blind date on national television would turn into ten years of us, a beautiful teenage girl, and our long-awaited baby growing our family to four?
Thank you, @firstdates, for the most life-changing dinner reservation of my life.
A decade later and you’re still my favourite person to sit across the table from.
Happy 10 years @aj_kalia ❤️

A little space for him.
Still a work in progress, but one we’ve imagined for a long time.

There were days we didn’t know how this story would unfold.
After loss, pregnancy felt different.
Filled with anxiety, endless appointments, scans, and quiet hope.
We held our breath for so long.
And only towards the end did we start to believe we might finally meet him.
And now he’s here. 🤍

Today, we get to say this…
he’s here. 🤍
Safe to say we’re completely obsessed.

Our shower room has gone through a few phases since we moved in…
stark white → warm neutrals → terracotta ceiling
Painting the ceiling felt like a bit of a risk, but it completely changed the feel of the room.
Would you try a coloured ceiling?
