My #RationFriendly Recipe with Fair Cape Dairies

I can't quite believe that it's been 9 months since I last wrote a blog post (more on that to come) but find it even harder to believe that we are entering day 73 of Lockdown. I think all of us can agree that 2020 hasn't quite panned out the way we expected when we [...]

Scotland 2008 In November 2014, my Grandpa was diagnosed with dementia. The month before, my mom, brother and I went to visit my grandparents in Scotland and we spent two very special weeks with them. I had recently gotten engaged and it was a holiday filled with happiness and celebration. It is a holiday that [...]

A day in the life of a toddler involves a lot of unpacking, messing and general chaos causing. It's all part of the fun of learning and growing. But as a parent, trying to keep a handle on the mess that such a small human creates is no easy feat! Oliver has decided he is [...]

Review: Bioderma’s Pigmentbio

My skin concerns have always been around breakouts and sensitivity. Pigmentation was something I never gave a second thought to until I fell pregnant. Even then, I didn't really take much notice of it until the day after I had given birth - and then I wondered what on earth had happened to my forehead! [...]

Recipe: Crunchy Lemon Squares

The last few weeks have been a bit of blur of busyness and I feel like I am VERY far behind on blogging with lots of posts just waiting to come to life. I can't really pinpoint why it's all been a little hectic but life in general seems to have picked up speed. And [...]

Hi, I’m Cat

And welcome to Boots, my creative corner of the internet. Here you’ll find my favourite things, places to go and things to do, my journey through motherhood and hopefully you’ll even find a little inspiration along the way. Thanks for joining me 🙂

Wishing today's morning run view was as good as last weeks 🙃 Feeling all the post-holiday blues as the reality of the start of the new year kicks in 😷
| 12 weeks Blink and you’ll miss it 💙
World Prematurity Day 💙 I never thought I'd have one, let alone two prem babies but my babies just don't like to bake. I held my babies for the first time when they were three days old - the second time around, I left the hospital before holding my baby. It's hard, COVID made it harder, and nothing really prepares you for what you are about to experience but it is one you will never forget. The NICU is a special place and it's hard to fully understand what goes on behind those doors until you've walked through them 💙
"You were the baby.
Three 💙 Last week my biggest little turned a whole three years old. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little emotional as I tucked my two-year old in for the last time. In the blink on an eye, my baby became a little boy with the gentlest soul, most phenomenal personality and cheekiest sense of humour who knows just how to tug my heartstrings. Being his mama is the greatest privilege 💙
Happy Due Date 💙 Not to be out done, this tiny human made sure his arrival was every bit as dramatic as his big brother's. At four weeks early, he stayed baking just one week longer than his brother and with a week in NICU, made sure this mama became a seasoned pro at premies 😉 Soaking up every inch of this fleeting newborn stage 💙
