My Breastfeeding Journey so far with Medela

So I cannot believe how quickly time has passed and that the little man is already 12 weeks old, growing and gaining weight very well and with lots of smiles and giggles along the way.

Street Style Sunday - Boys Club

It's been a bit of a long week, both the Baby and I came down with colds so Mr A has been kind enough to step in for Street Style Sunday this weekend as believe me when I say I have not been looking my best of late but I have a few new purchases I cannot wait to share with you soon. I thought it was also the perfect time to showcase Mr A's new custom hand crafted bag by creative mama Helen from Jack Be Nimble  which is super cute and very well made and I love the retro polka dot print. He has paired it up with a green Cos hoodie, Ralph Lauren shorts and Kicker boots. I really hope you can come and join in with Street Style Sunday and share the family fashionable love. Like I said I will be sharing some of my own outfits next week, once I look like a normal person again as the cold seems to be coming to an end *yay* An InLinkz Link-up ...
