Book Of The Moment / Recommendation

21 September 2011

Hi girls,

Today’s blog post is a bit different than the usual chit-chat about makeup and fashion. I though I’d share with you guys, and also recommend, a great book that I’ve been really enjoying reading recently.

The book is called ‘The Tennis Party’ by Sophie Kinsella (writing as Madeleine Wickham), and it’s about the fun, games, relationships and revelations that happen during this tennis tournament organised by the hosts, Patrick and Caroline, who receive three other couples and an uninvited guest in their house for the weekend. This is a lovely, girly and easy-going book that has had me giggling and basically gripped ever since I got it.

If you fancy a light-hearted reading or just something to pass the time, I highly recommend it!

Have you ever read any Sophie Kinsella books? Let me know which one is your favourite or leave me a recommendation of any books you enjoy on the comment box below :)

I still can’t believe that only 4 weeks ago I wa I still can’t believe that only 4 weeks ago I wasn’t able to walk down the stairs, drink water or tolerate the smell of my children’s hair! Look at me now… 🙌🏻

Hyperemesis stole 8 weeks of my life. Not only that, it took me to the darkest and loneliest places in my mind. This was supposed to be the pregnancy that I exercised all the way through, enjoyed every little second of it because it’s likely to be my last baby. But instead, I’ve spent a huge part of it crying, struggling, feeling weak and hopeless.

I’m still grieving the experience I thought I’d have, but I feel so lucky to have improved dramatically over the last 4 weeks. I get so much joy just doing little things that I couldn’t do before - showering on my own, eating a full meal, talking, doing the kids’ bedtime routine.

I believe everything happens for a reason. Whatever that reason was, it was meant to teach me to appreciate more my body, my family and the small things in life. ❤️

Did you guess it right? I got it totally wrong, again! 😆 We couldn’t be happier and it’s exactly what both James and Bella wanted. Our little tie-breaker! 🥰 #16weekspregnant #babynumber3 #genderreveal

It’s been a little while since my last update. Last week was tough, but this week I’ve started to see the light at the end of the Hyperemesis tunnel.

I’ve been able to keep most of my food down and I can now drink sips of water. Honestly that is such an amazing feeling!

I’m still being sick and still limited on what I can eat, but everyday I tolerate a few more smells and food.

My cravings are so weird! Full of things I’ve never bothered with before - Brazilian hot dogs, McDonalds Fillet O’ Fish, tinned peaches, tuna mayo jacket potato.

I’m still very weak and out of breath if I walk around - my body is playing catch up with the last 2/3 months of living on barely nothing.

I’m into my 14th week and I honestly feel so hopeful right now. ❤️

Ad: Today is International Women’s Day and this Ad: Today is International Women’s Day and this year #LEGO are celebrating the women of the future; our imaginative, creative, inspirational little girls!

We were asked to take part in the campaign, replicating a classic LEGO ad from 1981, which shows a little girl proudly holding up her LEGO creation.

So when I asked Bella what she wanted to make, no surprises there, she chose a princess castle!    

I feel like this reflects her personality so much; she’s sweet and kind, but also really knows her mind and is super determined to do what she wants, how she wants it! 💗 Didn’t she do well?!

If you want to take part and recreate the ad with your amazing daughters, you can submit a photo at LEGO.com/FutureBuilders.

I’ve stopped losing weight! 🙏🏻 It feels so I’ve stopped losing weight! 🙏🏻 It feels so good to step on the scales and not see those numbers going down anymore! I worried every single day for weeks, especially when my weight loss was so quick. So today, I put shorts on for the first time in a month (took it off right after the photo, as I feel so uncomfortable with anything around my hips or waist), pushed my belly out and registered that milestone. Hyperemesis is not in my past yet, but my new meds are at least helping me keep some food down. That’s a lot of progress from a week ago! ❤️
