This week marks 10 years since I created my blog,

This week marks 10 years since I created my blog, Sweet Monday 🥳. In that time a lot has changed. I no longer blog about what I’m wearing that day, or what nail art design I’ve created that week, or what cupcakes I’ve baked. Instead I (from time to time) blog about recipes I’ve created, house decor updates and transitioning into a mum. Over the past decade, I’ve met my partner Stew, lived in Australia for a while, did a bit of travelling, moved to London, bought a home and most recently, had a baby! For those of you who have been following me since then (massive shout out to my fellow OGs still knocking around 🙌🏻😂), thank you for sticking with me. It’s always been a hobby for me, and it’s brought incredible opportunities I’ll always be grateful for. And most importantly, I’ve met some of the best people through it. People I now call friends. I don’t know if I’ll be blogging for the next 10 years, but for now I still enjoy my little space on the internet... And on that note, my blog has had a little makeover recently. Thank you @snugdesigns! Take a look by clicking the link in my bio ☺️

6 months of you 🥰. You can sit up, you’ve started eating solids, you’re starting to move backwards, and do a funny bum shuffle when trying to grab our phones 😅. You’ve somehow managed to wean yourself off the dummy and self settle at night! Still no toothy pegs though, so I’m still waiting for it all to turn to poo 🙃 (but not literally, because that’s one thing we really don’t need anymore of!!💩🤪). Trying to get a photo of the two of us is increasingly difficult with you pulling on my hair, chewing my top, and wriggling out of my arms 😅. #6monthsold

A view of our living room I don’t think I’ve ever shared before. Mainly because it’s always been the more boring side, until we spruced up our bar cart and added a @roseenglandlondon. Our red front door has grown on me too, but there’s no hiding the ugly intercom sadly. I would pan to the right, but Stew’s ‘office’ is still taking over our dining table. That lockdown life in a London flat eh 🤪. How has everyone else been coping with the many different functions their home now has to serve?

Anyone else have shelves in their home and find themselves wanting to change them ALL THE TIME? It drives me crazy. I’m blaming it on lockdown and the fact we’ve spent more time in our living room than ever before. But I’m never completely happy with my shelf styling. Think I need to get some tips. I always look at @kate.lavie’s with such envy 😍. Hope everyone’s having a nice weekend. We’re not up to much. Video calling family and doing a spot of batch cooking. Grateful for some cooler temperatures though!

This week I set myself the task of sorting through Caleb’s clothes again. They grow out of things so quickly at this stage. It’s sad packing so many lovely bits up, that he’s barely worn, but I’m excited for some new things that have arrived recently. And his drawers are looking the tidiest they’ve ever looked... We’ll see how long that lasts 😅. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. A shame the weather doesn’t look quite as good, although I’m relieved it’s cooling down a bit!

This week is shaping up quite nicely. In fact it might just be the best week of lockdown for me so far! Although it’s sweaty weather and difficult with a baby, I’ve been out every day meeting mums and babies, friends, colleagues and mums to be! 🥰. It’s the first week where I’ve felt independent again, jumping in the car with Caleb on my own, exploring new green spaces and chatting to adults about things other than babies! 🙌🏻😅. It’s been a long few months, and I’m sure there will still be some down days. But hopefully this feeling lasts a little longer! Plus we can now finally visit my parents properly and enjoy their garden 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 (if the weather holds out of course 🤞🏻)

The weather this week looks set to be amazing ☀️. Very excited to meet some mum (and mum to be) friends in local parks, go on some long walks and maybe even have a picnic one day! 🌿 The sun just makes everything feel better.

I repotted our cheese plant this week and bought a plant stand to move him into our bedroom. Now Caleb has moved into his own room, there’s a big gap to fill in the corner of ours. But now I just need a nice decorative pot to put him in. Any tips on where to buy plant pots? I’ve looked online but I’m wondering if heading to a garden centre might be a better bet.

Went for a stroll in the rain today. Mainly to give us all a break from Caleb’s shrieking and there’s something so therapeutic about walking in the rain. Just me? I love it. Well, I love it when you’ve got no where to be, and it’s a warm day. Although saying that, our stroll turned into a hike over Hampstead Heath, and I felt like I’d done a full workout in my raincoat it was so hot! Anyway, to summarise our rainy walk, here’s a photo of a house in Highgate that looks good no matter the weather 😍

I’ve made a long list of all the books I want to buy Caleb, but most are out of stock at the moment. So instead I just keep rearranging this corner of Caleb’s room, even though it’s only me that gets any pleasure from it 😅

We moved Caleb into his cot last week. I can’t believe how big he’s getting 😭. So happy to have my bedside table back though 😂.
