A parenting/pregnancy/lifestyle blog from a Cardiff-based working mum (toddler W born May 2014, baby S born June 2016)
Baby’s first haul
Baby W’s first fortnight in presents!
I know ‘haul’ posts are usually for stuff you’ve bought, but little W got given so many presents that I can’t see me buying anything for months so thought this would make a cute haul post instead… and it will help me when it comes to writing thank you cards 🙂
Let me know what you think…. (and something I learnt while putting this together is I need to improve my photo skills!)

Hey sorry this is probably way too late but I think my sister got them from the WRU shop in Cardiff, although I’m not quite sure where that is?! x x
