ESSENTIALS

I love my creature comforts and luxuries as much as the next woman, and I personally think during the first few weeks at home with a newborn – you never rely on their healing qualities more. Hot showers using beautiful products, your favourite magazine, a hot cup of tea, freshly made coffee, comfortable PJs, clean sheets on the bed…when you are struggling with the effects of sleep deprivation these somewhat trivial items and activities become an almost sacred healing ritual to refresh and recharge. Here are some of my essential items currently getting me through these first few (special) however exhausting weeks. Collection of the latest magazines, kikki.K Diary & many, many cups of tea...feeding Noah every few hours means I spend a hell of alot of time on the couch over these past two weeks (which I secretly love).1.
