MAMA SPONSOR: A.MH.WORTH
Hands up who is a huge fan of kidswear brand A.MH.Worth? Mama Jen who is behind the label is a kidswear genius. Being a baby doesn't mean you can't have style or wear grey. Let's face it, how many babies and toddlers do you see dressed in baby blue or sickly pink these days or covered in teddy bears?
Jen started the brand in 2010 and two years on it's a global success. I can see why.
Here she talks about being a Mother...
HOW HAS BECOMING A MOTHER MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON?
You realise you have skills you never knew you had. Plus you're a much
quicker learner than you thought you were.
ASIDE FROM CONCEALER WHAT CAN'T YOU LIVE WITHOUT NOW YOU HAVE A CHILD?
iPhone. I have 3,500 images of every face she's pulled.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE A FIRST TIME MUM?
Ultimately the only real goal is to bring up a child who is happy, compassionate and knows how to be loved - everything else it transitory. And don't watch 'One Born Every Minute' It's a horror movie.
HOW HAS YOUR WARDROBE CHANGED SINCE HAVING A CHILD?
I spent the first two years dressing like I thought a mum should dress. I got over that.
CAKE OR BISCUITS?
We make a lot of cakes, so cakes, specifically carrot cakes - we haven't mastered biscuits yet.
WHAT OR WHO INSPIRES YOU?
I am inspired by every parent who has realised you don't have to go to some place that cost £16 per person to get in to and has 8 vending machines per square metre to entertain your child. And mum.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SECRETS OF TIPS TO MAKING MOTHERHOOD THAT BIT EASIER?
Just go with it - no one really knows what they're doing. Being a mum is so emotive so it's important to just do what feels right for you and your baby otherwise you'll get yourself in all sorts of problems emotionally.
Ta ta.
I'm going on holiday tomorrow so I thought I'd say 'see ya'. I shall have zero internet access so no tweeting or blogging, just lots of sunshine, a beautiful beach and my best girl. If you see a tweet or post, it isn't me.... it's scheduled, so if you leave a comment and don't get a reply then you know why (although I've been really slack with replies lately - I'm working on it).
Have a great week and no doubt I'll be back with a tan, a shit load of beads (going to Ibiza innit) and lots of photos you won't want to see. Along with lots of exciting posts about Autumn (are you bored yet?), things that have made our life easier just lately (some great new products) and (I hope, eventually) a post about feeling better (I gave in and got the pills).
I hope this is the beginning of a positive, happy season full of friends, laughter and wonderful memories.
See you soon xoxo

Sponsor Love: September
September already, but.... FINALLY. I've been waiting for this month ever since we hit April, I'm definitely an Autumn baby.
Time to introduce you to our amazing new sponsors for this month...
I have a Twitter friend, Pippa, to thank for introducing me to Livie and Luca. I struggled to find Lil cute shoes so she directed me to this fabulous kids shoe brand. I wasn't disappointed, oh my! Unfortunately, Lil spent the 'summer' not really wanting to wear shoes so I just bought her a pair of crocs and a pair of jellies and let her do her thing. But now Autumn is here.... I'm so excited to get her in to proper shoes and boots. Check them out on Facebook and Twitter to get sneak peaks of their fab new collection.
A.MH.Worth is for kids only and I WISH they did my size too (although I'm wondering if I can get in to age 8....maybe not). A great street-wear label by a woman and mother who does kid's style very well. I can't wait to kit Lil out in some great pieces. A.MH.Worth are on Twitter and Facebook.
I came across Alphabetty Designs at Lollibop a few weekends ago and instantly fell in love with their simple designs. All their tee's are made from organic cotton and the felt is eco-fi (made from recycled plastic bottles) so good for the planet. A great excuse to buy. Follow Betty on Twitter.
Slugs & Snails is a genius brand. Tights for boys in great prints and who said tights are only for girls? (I must admit, Lil owns the skull print ones - they're just too good not to...) With Winter fast approaching, these are great to wear with wellies, under dungarees when it's freezing outside and with cool t-shirts (see above). Follow Slugs & Snails on Twitter and Facebook.
LoveBryony is a blog written by Bryony who is a Mama to Francesca with another baby girl on the way due in December. Bryony writes about pregnancy, being a Mother to a gorgeous toddler with reviews and tips along the way. Happy reading! LoveBryony is on Twitter and Facebook.
Dizzy loves Icy join us for another month and I'm so pleased. Lia writes about her life as a Mama, shares AMAZING recipes and a whole ton of inspiration (especially on a Friday). Go follow her on Twitter.
Mama Cymraeg lives in the middle of nowhere with two gorgeous boys. Her online diary documents the highs and lows of motherhood with some lovely pictures. Be sure to check out her life list, some inspiration maybe? (Better get started) You can follow her over on Twitter.
We have Fritha from Tigerlilly Quinn joining us for another month too. Posts on fashion, recipes and pictures of gorgeous Wilf are regulars as well as their family adventures. Fritha is on Twitter.
And last but by no means least, we have Kim and Baz. The Small Things is all about creative living, self sufficiency and motherhood. Read about the beauty that is Alessi and Kim's quest to sew. She's also making me laugh on Twitter.
Happy shopping / reading!
