In this chatty GRWM, I’m getting myself ready whilst having a proper catch-up about two big things on my mind at the moment: babywearing and Freya’s first birthday plans. I talk you through my new hip carrier from Bambora and why I’ve been loving the idea of having something quick and easy for those days when she wants to be up but I still need my hands free. It’s very much a real-life mum chat while I’m getting ready, not a polished “perfect routine” kind of video. I also share what I’ve got planned so far for Freya’s “berry” first birthday theme. I’m honestly so excited (even though I know I shouldn’t wish the time away!) and I chat through the ideas I’m gathering and the general vibe I’m going for. If you’re a UK first-time mum planning a first birthday, or you’re curious about hip carriers and what might work for everyday life, this is a cosy, realistic watch with lots of little thoughts and takeaways along the way.
