Layered Mexican Dip
Whether you are having people over on the weekend, or just want to enjoy this treat by yourself, this tasty layered Mexican dip is the perfect snack.
I went to a first birthday party last year, where one of these dips was featured. Seeing the avocado and sour cream (two of my favourite ingredients), I was drawn to it straight away – and it didn’t disappoint. For most of the party you could find me standing next to this dip table scooping away at all that remained. Let’s face it, the dip was a real winner and I needed to know how to make it.
Drinking While Breastfeeding
Considering drinking while breastfeeding? Here is the perfect solution.
To say welcoming Vivi into the world was a huge relief is an understatement. The sheer joy I felt when I finally held her in my arms honestly can’t be expressed in words. The end of my pregnancy wasn’t easy. With two trips to the hospital because of high blood pressure, a couple of rounds of false labour (one that ended with me in hospital), induction and then a speedy delivery that didn’t give the epidural time to kick in – I was completely exhausted, but so immensely happy. It was finally time to settle into life as a mum of two.
Comfortable & Stylish Maternity Clothing
Choosing the perfect baby shower dress wasn’t easy. I went on the search for comfortable & stylish maternity clothing and came across Glama Mama Maternity.
Finding out you are pregnant is such an exciting time. I remember the first time the two pink lines appeared on the stick, sharing the happy news with my husband, the tears of happiness as we pictured our future together, and of course the tears that came when my favourite dress refused to do up over my ever expanding breasts. It really did happen. My husband had to console me and tell me I was growing a baby and this was normal, and that it was time for me to go out and buy some maternity clothes. He was right.
