Good Things

{Throwing personalised 'wishing stones' into the Atlantic Ocean}

The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of copy deadlines, shoots, beauty launches, shopping for a wedding dress and accessories, finding hubby-to-be's wedding outfit and wedding band (it took a whole two weeks of constant searching - we spent six and a half hours at Canal Walk searching for a ring that is just right), decluttering and attempting to find some sort of order at home ahead of Bean's arrival... Needless to say, I've spent a lot of time feeling completely frazzled, stressed out and absolutely exhausted - not ideal when you're 30 weeks pregnant! I've always found that a sure-fire way to eliminate stress and the onset of panic (as so often happens when I realise that I'm getting married in 16 days. Sixteen. Eek!) is to take a moment to breathe and remember all that you're grateful for. Here are just a few small things that have kept me calm and happy over the past week...

 {I won this gorgeous set of Poppy Divine pjs from Coco Li on Being Brazen - perfect timing too, as all my other pajamas are starting to feel a bit snug!}

{Bean's cot arrived - at long last! Let the decorating commence!}

 
{I've developed a huge sweet tooth during this pregnancy. If I'm having a grumpy day, I can almost guarantee that some chocolate will turn it all around!}

{I get to marry this guy in just over two weeks time - and I can't wait!}

    1. Thanks so much for the reminder that this IS actually a very exciting time! Sometimes I get so caught up in the finer details and stress of it all that I forget to enjoy it! xx
