00:43Good morning!
00:45I hope you're all really well.
00:47I have to speak quietly because I am the only one awake this morning.
00:52I actually got up at 6, it's now 6.30.
00:57So I've had a lovely half an hour of peace and quiet.
01:01And honestly, I feel like before you have children,
01:05you never appreciate those moments of just, like, quietness.
01:11No one needing you for anything.
01:13Just peace and quiet is just absolutely, it completely hits different when you're a mum.
01:18Yeah, getting up before everyone else, it's definitely not an everyday thing
01:21because Noah and Jonah still wake up multiple times throughout the night.
01:25So it's definitely not an everyday thing.
01:28But on the mornings, I have been getting up before everyone else.
01:31It's so nice, like, I just, it's life-changing, I love it.
01:34And I saw the sunrise this morning, which means spring is coming.
01:39I love spring. I love all the seasons, to be fair, apart from, like, midsummer.
01:42Midsummer is not my vibe.
01:44I feel like autumn will always be my favourite.
01:47Then it's spring because I just think it's such a lovely feeling,
01:52like, when it's lighter for longer, like, getting warmer but not too hot.
01:57Everything looks really pretty and it just feels nice.
02:00And then winter's my third favourite because that's just hibernation season.
02:05Summer's my least favourite because I'm not made for the heat.
02:11But that being said, I do feel like I have a newfound appreciation for summer
02:17since having children because it's just, I feel like there's so much more to do.
02:22Noah loves being outside, like, it's his favourite place to be.
02:25So he just, I feel like there's just so much more to do with children
02:29and, like, I love a barbecue, actually.
02:31That's probably my favourite thing about summer.
02:33I love the beach and I love a good barbecue.
02:36Like, barbecues every night for the whole of summer.
02:40That is something I am looking forward to.
02:42Yeah, I've had a lovely little relaxing morning to myself.
02:45Well, half an hour, I wouldn't really say morning.
02:48A relaxing half an hour and now it's just time to wait
02:51until a small human summons me.
02:55First one awake is Mr Jonah.
02:58Should we get you some breakfast?
03:00Yeah? Wait for big bro to wake up?
03:03Yeah?
03:04Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:05Mmm, so scrummy.
03:18Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:20Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:22Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:24Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:26Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:28Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:30Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:32Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:34Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:36Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:38Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:40Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:42Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:44Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:46Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:48Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:50Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:52Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:54Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:56Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
03:58Just about to jump in the shower
04:00and ready for the day,
04:02but I wanted to share with you
04:04some spring deco finds.
04:06I've got my little
04:08collection here. I'm thinking for next week's
04:10vlog, we could go to Home Friends together
04:12and have a browse of the spring deco!
04:14Oh my God, I love nothing more than seasonal decor.
04:18It just, it's just, it's good for the soul.
04:21So, first thing I picked up,
04:22which I immediately have to share with you guys
04:25because I want you to get your hands on these
04:26before they go anywhere.
04:29I picked up the most beautiful faux flowers from the range.
04:32I got these rose stems, which were £2.50 each.
04:36So affordable, and they look so realistic.
04:40They're just so beautiful,
04:41and I thought they would be perfect for spring.
04:43I feel like they can go in so many different places
04:46in our home.
04:47Then, look how gorgeous these are.
04:49Oh, these were £2 a stem,
04:52and you actually get quite a lot of flowers on one stem.
04:55And these are just so beautiful.
04:58I feel like they're kind of rustic and wild flowery.
05:01So again, they're gonna go really nice
05:03in so many different places of our home.
05:04I've already actually popped some in this vase.
05:07There's only one, two stems in here.
05:11So for £4, you can create a really beautiful little bouquet.
05:15I feel like the range is so affordable,
05:17and you can find such gems.
05:19I'm so happy with these.
05:21A couple of little bits from Next Home
05:22because I cannot resist Next Home's seasonal decor.
05:27I got this candle, which is just beautiful.
05:30I loved that the center was a daisy.
05:34I just thought that was so cute.
05:36It smells just really fresh and floral,
05:38and just like spring in a jar,
05:40and I just thought that was so pretty.
05:41And I got some little ceramic bunnies.
05:44These are so cute.
05:46You'll notice that I have to get everything in pairs.
05:48Like if there's a mummy bunny and a baby bunny,
05:51I have to get both.
05:52Like I cannot possibly just get one
05:54because they would be lonely.
05:56And how cute do they look like sat next to each other?
05:59Also got these ones.
06:00They look like they're stargazing.
06:02Oh my God, they're so cute.
06:04Again, had to get the baby.
06:06And I'm thinking, again,
06:07these will just go anywhere really nicely in our home.
06:10They'll go on the coffee table,
06:11they'll go on the shelves in the dining room.
06:14Speaking of bunnies,
06:15a lot of you guys still ask if we have Maple and Marshmallow.
06:18Well, Marshmallow's name is actually more Snowy.
06:21Like Snowy rolls off the tongue
06:23a little bit easier than Marshmallow.
06:25But yes, we still have them.
06:26They are gorgeous.
06:28They are just such gorgeous bunnies.
06:30They actually spend most of their time outside.
06:34We have them in the house quite a bit,
06:36but they are just honestly so much happier outside.
06:39They've got a big hutch, they've got a big run.
06:41They have like access to most of the garden.
06:44Sticking with the bunny theme,
06:46got some more bunnies.
06:47Again, mummy and baby.
06:49These are like a terracotta bunny.
06:51I'm trying to add a little bit more
06:53of this color into our home.
06:54It's like a, like terracotta, like a tan,
06:56because I feel like it's just,
06:58it adds so much coziness.
06:59So from M&S, I picked up these bowls.
07:02Just thought they were so pretty and a really nice size.
07:05That is a good size cereal bowl.
07:08Then from Next, I picked up some new bedding.
07:11I love getting like a nice fresh bedding set
07:14for the new season.
07:15And this, I don't know how well you guys can see this,
07:18but it's like, let me try and focus a little bit more.
07:21Oh, that's better.
07:23It's like a vintagey flower, I guess.
07:27And I just think it's so gorgeous.
07:30Last thing I got, it's gonna be like
07:31a little bit of a mini DIY.
07:33I have been looking for,
07:35I really want like a vintage inspired frame,
07:40but they're so expensive.
07:41They're like, they're just so expensive.
07:44So I popped it on out and I got this,
07:47like it's like an antique gold frame.
07:50It's three pounds 50, what a bargain.
07:54And then I picked up a brown mount,
07:56which I'm gonna pop in here,
07:58which I think instantly makes it look a little bit old.
08:01And then I've ordered a really nice,
08:03like vintage flower print from Etsy,
08:07which when it comes, I will show you the finished product.
08:09But I think that's gonna look really nice.
08:11And it would probably cost a grand total of like,
08:15this was two pounds, this was three pounds 50.
08:17The print was two pounds.
08:19So like under eight pounds, which is so cheap.
08:22Yeah, that's everything I've collected for spring so far.
08:24Like I said, we're gonna be going to HomeSense next week
08:27and have a browse around the other shops as well.
08:29So we can get like a really nice
08:32spring deco collection together.
08:33I've also got some bits in the loft.
08:36But yeah, seasonal decor shopping.
08:38I just love it so much.
08:39It makes me so happy.
08:40IKEA delivery has just arrived.
08:43We are starting, I say we, I mean Jamie,
08:47is starting a very exciting little home project today.
08:52So we're gonna be creating a kind of like DIY
08:56media wall storage kind of situation in the playroom.
09:00Always really wanted a media wall in the playroom
09:04like the one in the dining room.
09:06But I just feel like we,
09:08I've spoken to you guys about this lots in the past,
09:11but we know that in the next few months, years,
09:17we are gonna be moving.
09:19Obviously we have no solid plans yet.
09:20And we kind of are just, to be honest,
09:22waiting for the right house to come up.
09:24And we don't really know whether we're gonna relocate
09:27to Cornwall.
09:28We feel like that,
09:29we're kind of like edging more towards that.
09:32So basically we just, we know this,
09:34as much as this house is, I love this house.
09:37This is literally my sanctuary.
09:39So many memories are made in this house
09:41and it does make me feel really sad to know
09:44that we'll one day be leaving it here.
09:45But I just, we just know in our gut,
09:48this is not our forever home.
09:50So I kind of don't really want to spend the money
09:55on a media wall that's like built in
09:58because they are quite expensive.
10:01So I bought an Ikea media wall
10:03and it was just under 500 pounds,
10:06which if you compare that to the price
10:08of a built in media wall,
10:10we are saving like 4,000 pounds
10:13and it's gonna be just so nice to have the storage.
10:17So yeah, I'm excited to see what it looks like up.
10:19And then what we're gonna do is
10:20we are gonna add a few little bits
10:22to make it look a little bit more built in.
10:25So I'm thinking about getting either like a shelf
10:28or some MDF and popping it across the top.
10:32I'll have to explain when it's up.
10:34It's quite hard for me to explain
10:35when there's nothing there.
10:37Yeah, I'm excited to see how it looks.
10:38We're gonna try and like do everything
10:40on a bit of a budget.
10:41Like I said, I don't really want to spend too much money,
10:44but this way we can take this with us when we move.
10:48That's the problem with like built in stuff, isn't it?
10:50Like you can't just pick it up and relocate it.
10:53I know you guys have seen the playroom before,
10:55but I just kind of want to do a little bit of a before.
10:58So this is what it's currently looking like.
11:00As you can see, it's like a toy shop.
11:03So many toys since Christmas.
11:08The first thing I really need to do
11:09is just go through everything.
11:11And I'm definitely going to implement like a toy rotation.
11:15So the media wall is gonna go on this back wall.
11:18Obviously the TV is gonna stay where it is.
11:20That's gonna be in the middle.
11:21So I'm gonna completely transform this back wall
11:23and give us loads of gorgeous storage,
11:26which is just a dream.
11:29Just need all the storage.
11:31So the other things we've got to kind of think about
11:33is this tent.
11:35As much as I love this tent,
11:36it's really not used very often.
11:39And as you can see, it's just kind of become a place
11:42where we collect thousands and thousands
11:45of cuddly toys and balls.
11:47So again, I need to go through that
11:48and figure out what Noah actually uses,
11:52what we could potentially donate,
11:53find a new home for them.
11:55And then the great thing about the media wall
11:58is because the cupboards are quite large,
12:00we can store all of these types of things in there.
12:03Oh my God, I hate that giant spider.
12:09Whenever I see this laying around on the floor,
12:12tell me you're a boy mom without telling me, seriously.
12:16But yeah, I'm hoping these bigger kind of toys
12:19will fit in at the media wall along with these,
12:23because that would be nice to just have a home for them
12:26and it would make, I feel like this room look a lot tidier.
12:29And then this down here is Noah's creation this morning.
12:33We also have this little storage unit here,
12:35which is two actually, two separate ones from Ikea.
12:38I think they're called Kallax
12:40and they're really, really good.
12:41So I'm thinking we'll probably keep this here
12:43because as you can see,
12:44when there's not just toys everywhere,
12:47it actually doubles up as quite a nice little window seat.
12:50And I feel like you wouldn't really use this space
12:53under the window for anything else.
12:54So yeah, we're gonna have to have
12:55a little bit of a play around with everything,
12:57but I'm excited.
12:59Feel like it's gonna make this room feel a lot bigger,
13:03a lot less cluttered,
13:04and it will be really, really nice to have
13:07just a place for everything.
13:09The building has commenced.
13:11They look so good already.
13:14Having a coffee break.
13:15Which one's mummy?
13:18Which one is mummy?
13:19I can't wait for this.
13:23That one?
13:25Oh, that one.
13:26Aww.
13:27Well, at least you didn't point to the witch.
13:30Jamie's desperate for him to point to.
13:32Oh, no.
13:35Jamie.
13:36Is that mama?
13:39Aww.
13:40Thank you, Noah.
13:42My darling boy.
13:44That one?
13:47I'm telling her.
13:49I'm gonna tell her that one.
13:51Eh?
13:53So, how long do we think this is gonna take?
13:57It says three hours.
14:00That's not a good sign.
14:01They normally say like five minutes.
14:03Three minutes.
14:04Five to seven working days, I think.
14:06No, I think you'll,
14:07I think this will not take long.
14:09It looks so good.
14:12The doors.
14:14Love it.
14:17What?
14:20Make it?
14:22Daddy broke it.
14:26Daddy.
14:28We have got a little bit of a joint
14:31nap situation going on.
14:33So, Noah and Jonah are both asleep.
14:35Jamie's building.
14:36So, we're gonna spend a little bit of time in the kitchen.
14:39Something I've wanted to do for ages
14:42is make my own butter.
14:44I've seen all the moms on TikTok
14:48making their own butter and it looks so easy.
14:52So, that's what I'm gonna do.
14:54Literally all you need.
14:56I actually find it fascinating
14:57that this is how butter is made.
14:59All you need is some double cream
15:02and either an electric whisk
15:06or like a KitchenAid.
15:08So, I'm gonna use my KitchenAid.
15:10I probably wouldn't.
15:11I mean, I haven't made it before,
15:12but from the videos I've watched,
15:13I probably wouldn't use a hand whisk
15:15because I fear you might be whisking your butter
15:18until 20, 29.
15:21So, yeah, electric whisk or a KitchenAid
15:24and you simply just tip the butter in
15:26until it like, it goes through a couple different stages
15:29and it like curdles
15:31and then you like squeeze the butter out and wash it.
15:35You guys will see what I mean in a minute.
15:36It sounds really weird me trying to explain it.
15:39And yeah, then you have like butter, actual butter
15:42and you can put, you can like do your own different flavours.
15:45So, I'm probably gonna do like a sea salt one
15:47and a garlic one.
15:49And apparently it tastes so much nicer
15:51than shop-bought butter.
15:53And it's also a lot more affordable as well
15:56to buy just some cream than some actual like Lurpak.
15:59So, yeah, I'm gonna do that.
16:01And then after I've made my butter,
16:04something else I wanna make is
16:06some strawberry chocolate yogurt bark situation.
16:14I picked up this, my protein yogurt vanilla flavour.
16:17It's got 45 grams of protein in the whole pot.
16:20So, I'm gonna basically just pop this on a baking sheet,
16:26pop some fresh strawberries on there.
16:28Hello Tilly.
16:28Some fresh strawberries on there,
16:31a little drizzle of milk chocolate
16:33and then I'm gonna pop it in the freezer
16:35for like two, three hours.
16:38And it's meant to be really, really nice.
16:40Hopefully it doesn't get icy
16:41because every time I freeze yogurt,
16:43it goes like all frosty.
16:44So, oh my God, there's just cats everywhere.
16:47I'm living my dream.
16:50Okay, this is how we're looking.
16:52So with the butter, from the videos that I've watched
16:54it goes through a couple of different stages.
16:56So the first stage is like whipped cream
17:00and then it looks like cottage cheese.
17:03So we're looking like we're on the right path.
17:04I mean, can't really go wrong.
17:05All I've got to do is this.
17:07So I'm gonna put that on there.
17:09And then I'm gonna go through the next stage
17:11which is a little bit of a bit of a mess.
17:13So I'm gonna do this one.
17:14I'm gonna pop that in the freezer
17:16and then I'm gonna do the next one.
17:18and wait. Okay it's like a minute later and as you can see it's kind of gone a
17:23bit more curdled now so I'm just going to push all of that cream down. I feel
17:28like there's quite a lot that's stuck around the edges and probably whisk for
17:32another couple of minutes and then we'll see what it looks like. Okay the third
17:36and final stage is this. It looks like butter and milk. Yay! Do you know what? I've
17:44been stood here watching this for like 10-15 minutes and it like it did the
17:49whipped cream, the cottage cheese and then it like went really milky and I
17:54was like oh no I've gone too far but then I just thought I'm just gonna leave
17:57it and see what happens. I left it and this has formed so now what we need to
18:02do is we need to drain out the buttermilk and keep that in the fridge
18:06for pancakes or waffles or to soak chicken in or you can just use
18:10buttermilk in baking and then I'm gonna give the butter a rinse under the tap
18:16just to make it like a little bit under cold water to make it a little bit
18:20firmer and then I'm gonna add some sea salt. How exciting! Homemade butter. I mean
18:26it doesn't look very appealing right now but hopefully it will in a minute.
18:40It actually looks like butter! That was the most satisfying thing ever and look
18:58at all that lovely buttermilk.
19:10Ta-da! I'm so proud of my butter! That was so easy and so like therapeutic and
19:32satisfying and it's made so much so this one is just like a lightly salted butter
19:38well if you can call that lightly salted there is a lot of salt on there and then
19:42this one I think I might roast some garlic later and add it to that. I kind
19:49of want to do like a garlic and herb butter for this one over here. I did
19:55taste a little bit as well and it does taste like butter but like so much
19:58creamier it's really yummy it tastes loads better than like a store-bought
20:03and also something else you can do have like a local farm shop or something near
20:08to you get local cream because then that's meant to be even better for you
20:13so yeah here's my first ever butter now we've got to learn to make bread so we
20:18can have a homemade butter and homemade bread
21:03okay here is the yogurt bark ready to go in the freezer for about three hours
21:11they'd be really nice with some raspberries and blueberries but I only
21:14actually had strawberries and something else I thought it'd be nice with is
21:18little you know those little mini meringues you can get they'd be nice on
21:22top too. The media wall is finished and it looks so good I feel like oh my god I'm so happy with it let me show
21:33you and here is the after oh my goodness I'm so happy with it look at all that gorgeous storage
21:42down there I have just spent a little bit of time kind of like moving
21:46everything having a bit of a play around I've popped a couple of little bits on
21:50the shelves just to get a bit of a feel for it and I absolutely love it as you
21:55can see I've just popped the table in the middle of the room which can just be
21:58moved whenever we're kind of like playing on the mats but I thought I just
22:02love it I love it so much it feels already so much tidier less chaotic and
22:09also a lot cozier so yeah really really really happy we have moved the tent over
22:15here it felt really sad to get rid of the toy tent but I'm thinking what we
22:19might do is get something slightly smaller you know like the teepee tents I
22:24feel like that could work a little bit better in this corner because it does
22:28feel a little bit crammed but yeah how much better does it look the only thing
22:33is these toys the ones that I wanted to hide don't fit of course they don't they
22:42are like ever so slightly like if this bit wasn't here it would fit in there
22:48and I said to Jamie like is there any way we could snap that off but then I'm
22:51kind of like snapping my child's toys just to fit them in a cupboard which is
22:57just a bit pathetic really so yeah they don't fit but they're nicely kind of
23:02like tucked away there and I don't know it just feels like more of a room it
23:08feels less like a toy dumping ground and feels more of like a nice cozy room that
23:15we can all watch films together and like play and I love it I absolutely love it
23:20as you can see Teddy's testing out his new climbing frame so what I was
23:25thinking we could do to make it look a little bit more built-in was get some
23:29kind of like MDF or shelf above this bit and then I'll pop some pictures on
23:35screen but I was thinking maybe creating some kind of like cladding on this bit
23:40you know like the wall paneling which is like great explanation Gemma I'll pop
23:45some pictures on screen but that might make it look a little bit more built-in
23:51but to be honest I'm happy with like I didn't know if I'd be super happy with
23:55it because I do feel like sometimes Ikea's a little bit hit-and-miss like
23:58sometimes it looks really good whereas sometimes it looks like not that great
24:03but the quality of this is beautiful oh there's some screws in a car ready over
24:12here is quite a small little gap but I was thinking we could even maybe pop a
24:19little shelf here and then we could have this corner as like a little bit of a
24:24craft desk I don't know if it's a little bit too small but I mean Noah is
24:29probably the size of this bear so like just imagining imagining him sat there
24:34it would actually maybe be perfect and we could then maybe keep like put some
24:38shelves here and keep all of his like drawing bits and Bob's crafts that could
24:43be a nice little idea we will see I don't want to watch Jamie to do that
24:48just yet it might tip him over the edge of course we have some new Amazon
24:53organization bits you know people buy like new gym clothes to motivate them to
24:57go to the gym I buy new organization bits to motivate me to organize so I got
25:05let me show you guys it's not even it's not even hot I just have the breast
25:14feeding sweats too much information but oh my goodness breastfeeding and sweat
25:21levels are just something I never knew about to be honest oh these are perfect
25:31so I got some of these little tubs I think there's six in here and I thought
25:38these would be great for just like we've got quite a lot of little toys going on
25:41you know like cars dinosaurs little thready toys like lots of little toys so
25:50these will be great and they've got little handles so Noah can like carry
25:53these around these will be great in the little cupboards and then I got this
26:02size they're actually they're gonna be so good which kind of just like pop open
26:07and these are stackable so these will be great for the slightly bigger cupboards
26:12and I'm thinking for these these will be good for like puzzles and coloring bits
26:17stuff like that more flat toys Lego stickle bricks I'm in my toy era all the
26:28best toys if you know you know so yeah I am excited to organize I'm probably just
26:34gonna like get everything out of the you know like the IKEA storage over there
26:40I'm probably gonna get everything out of there I did have a sort out in here the
26:46other day and the bits that I knew Noah didn't really use anymore and Jonah's
26:52probably not gonna really use I've popped them in a big bag for the
26:55charity shop because I just feel like we don't really need them so we're gonna
27:00donate those and then I've popped a couple of bits in the garage for like a
27:03toy rotation yeah I'm gonna get everything out of that unit see what
27:07we've got organize it into these and then we'll still use those but I think
27:12they'll be better for more bulkier things like I can see a little music set
27:17and stuff like that so yeah let's get organizing
27:33it's what I like to call bits and bobs it's just the most random things but Noah
27:44actually loves going through this it keeps me entertained for ages so I don't
27:49want to get rid of any it's just full of like weird and wonderful things do we
27:55think Noah will notice if I get rid of this train honestly right picture this
28:006 a.m.
28:05it gets better
28:08I mean it's fun it's so fun but sensory overload be real with this
28:38Oh
29:08Oh
29:21just found a little white feather on my sleeve and I love it when this happens
29:26because I just feel like it's a sign from my dad and I've been thinking about
29:31him so much recently not like I don't like he literally pops in my mind every
29:36single day but the past couple of weeks I've been having like so many dreams
29:40about him and I get this like reoccurring dream I probably have maybe
29:47like weekly every two weeks where oh my god it feels so real and it puts me in
29:52like such a strange mood all day dream that he hasn't died and him dying was a
29:58dream and I just feel so happy in these dreams I'm like oh thank God like thank
30:06God that was a dream and then I wake up for my dream and realize that was a
30:09dream and it just kind of like hits me like a ton of bricks my dad's been gone
30:14almost five years now I just can't even believe it's been that long it feels
30:20like it was yesterday but also feels like it was forever ago as well such a
30:25strange feeling but I always think when it's like springtime I always think of
30:31him just so much like this time of year really makes me think of him because it
30:36was his favorite he loved spring and autumn he loved it being like lighter in
30:43the evenings and lighter in the morning so he could get on down to his allotment
30:47even earlier and stay down there earlier and and yet just feel like the birds
30:51like bird song really reminds me of him because he always used to tell me like
30:56which birds they were and like he when he when he had them like singing he would
31:00know exactly which birds they were and do you know what I remember when I was
31:06younger and he used to do that he used to be like dad you're so old telling me
31:10about the birds and now I kind of wish I'd like listened a bit more because I
31:14would love to be able to hear birds song and know which bird that was singing I
31:20don't know it's one of those where it's like I wish I'd like listened a bit more
31:26instead of just being like dad you're old I don't want to know about birds
31:32they're just a little thought I thought I'd thought I thought a little thought
31:36midway through organizing which I thought I'd share oh oh my goodness this
31:44room feels so much nicer to be in now it just feels it's strange like more like a
31:52room that's like a less like a toy shop more like a room so happy with our new
31:57unit and everything being organized ready for Noah to come in here and mess
32:04it all up I'm gonna try and keep on top of it I'm gonna try and like when we've
32:08got a toy out put that one away before we get another one out Noah's actually
32:13pretty good at that to be fair he is very like much a tidy boy like he
32:18actually really loves tidying up but yeah I'm gonna try and keep on top of
32:23the organization of this room my loves that is gonna go ahead and conclude this
32:29part of the vlog you're gonna pick up my camera again when we have our girl of
32:35news photoshoots because I really really really want to start bringing you guys
32:41along for more of like the behind the scenes of running a business and to be
32:47honest it's something I don't usually I don't usually do because a photoshoot
32:53day is usually very go-go-go it's and I always just forget to pick up my camera
32:58but I'm gonna make a really conscious effort this time to bring you guys along
33:00because I think it would be just really lovely to bring you all on the journey
33:04of our rebrand which is so exciting I feel like I can tell you guys more about
33:11it now it's kind of been like under wraps for the past few months but girl
33:16of news is relaunching as a sleepwear brand which I just feel like it is so
33:25aligned to me you guys know I pajamas are like my favorite thing in the whole
33:30universe I spend my days looking forward to putting on my pajamas and I feel like
33:35this point in my life I'm a bit of a pajama connoisseur I know what fit I
33:39like I know what colors I love like a seasonal print so that's what we're
33:44gonna kind of like specialize in especially the seasonal prints so think
33:49the most perfect autumn printed pajamas Christmas printed pajamas maybe even
33:56matching family pajamas and yeah I just feel really really really good about it
34:00I feel like last time with girl of Muse we kind of did a lot of different things
34:07like we did we've already kind of like dabbled in pajamas and you guys loved
34:11them so we really wanted to just specialize in something and I just think
34:15pajamas could is the most perfect thing the most perfect thing we all love being
34:20like cozy at home and just wearing something comfortable that makes us feel
34:24really nice so yeah exciting times ahead so next time I see you guys will be on
34:31photo shoot day and I can show you the whole collection we are actually
34:37shooting for our spring summer collection so that's going to be coming
34:41out in the next month or so keep an eye on our Instagram for like official
34:46launch launch dates of things but I think it will be really cool for you
34:50guys to see the behind the scenes of a photo shoot photo shoot day is my
34:53favorite day so busy but it's so much fun and Jonah's actually just to throw
35:01baby in the mix obviously because I'm still breastfeeding and he's a very very
35:08easy baby anyway so I think we're just gonna take his bouncer and he can just
35:13walk around and be part of the day would take Noah but feel like toddler is
35:20slightly harder to look after at a photo shoot so and I also think that would
35:26just not like Noah would just be like listen this is not my vibe so he is at
35:32nursery that day and then Jamie's dad's gonna be picking him up and looking
35:36after him so yeah really excited we're going to such a cool studio in
35:42Manchester which yeah I'm just so excited for that day so I thought it'd
35:48be a really nice thing to bring you guys along to so not much happening for the
35:53rest of the day I think we're gonna have like a really quick dinner and then
35:57it's gonna be baby's bedtime routine which is always just like mum mode
36:02activated and then I'm gonna get an early night because I was awake so much
36:07last night not with Jonah with Noah literally Noah was awake at like
36:13midnight two four six and oh my goodness I've just remembered what you did last
36:19night mr. Teddy he's a naughty naughty boy this you this culprit here he may
36:28look cute trust me at 4 a.m. he is not cute so I'd literally spent so long
36:36getting Noah to sleep so we do this thing at the moment it's so cute but at
36:404 a.m. it's just not so cute so we lay by his cot and he has his hand out of
36:46the car and we like hold his hand till he falls asleep reminds me of that scene
36:50in Dumbo where like the mum has got her trunk through the cage it's so sad so
36:57when he puts his hat like a 4 a.m. he's like mummy hand can't resist so I laid
37:02in there for about an hour whilst Noah fell asleep and no just gone off to
37:08sleep Teddy comes bulging in the room like
37:11he jumps on Noah's car and falls on Noah poor Noah was terrified he was oh my
37:22god this cat this cat so then he won't know her up so I was in there for like

44:41looking a bit disheveled please ignore that I've had a grand total of about two
44:48hours sleep let's have a bit of a debrief right yesterday so I feel a
44:55little bit sad to be honest because I had every intention to vlog way more
45:01than I did but it was just such a fast-paced busy day and I think we
45:09messed up a little bit with the change of studios so we spent four hours in one
45:15studio and then four hours in another studio and having to move the amount of
45:22stuff that we had in that time as well into another studio that was like two
45:27more floors up really did just kind of mess us up a little bit oh my god tell
45:32you because we obviously in studio one we had all the lighting set up and we
45:38just won't do that again because I feel like it really was just a stress that
45:41was unneeded but I hope you enjoyed the bits that I did was able to capture and
45:50I hope you were able to see a little bit of our collection which is coming this
45:55month it's is it the first first of March happy March this little one has
