CHRISTMAS 🎄💕| Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, full of love, laughter, and togetherness 💕 #merrychristmas #tillysfirstchristmas #lifewithtillymae
ON THE BLOG | Christmas Eve is upon us, and as I snuggle into bed, I sent a little letter to Tilly on the eve of her first Christmas. Here’s to spreading the joy and magic of Christmas to our littles 🎄💕 #christmas #tillysfirstchristmas #mummyblogger #achristmasletter #lifewithtillymae #motherhoodunplugged
7 MONTHS | If the energizer bunny had a human form, I think it would be Tilly. She’s become a social butterfly, loves to squeal whenever the mood suits her, is snuggly, giggly, loves to chew on my face, and last night pulled herself to standing for the first time 😱 Teething is underway, although nothing has broken through yet, loves swimming lessons, and has taken to eating solid food with gusto. Loving this little girl more than life 💕 #7monthsold #lifewithtillymae
PERSPECTIVE 😱💕| It’s crazy, this time last year, I was almost halfway through pregnancy, already feeling the pain that would stay with me to the end, and feeling a wave of emotions about what was to come in the new year. But mostly what keeps coming back to me, as Christmas sneaks up around the corner, is something my mum said to me. She said, this time next year you’ll have a little girl sitting in front of that Christmas tree, able to sit up and trying to grab everything in sight. I found it hard to see that far into the future, but whaddyaknow, it’s been a year, and it’s true- I do have a little girl who sits in front of the Christmas tree and tries to pull everything off it. We get so caught up in the intensity of each stage we go through in life, that we either forget where we came from, or what’s still to come. I’ve been fairly quiet here on Instagram- a) because tiny one requires so much more attention these days, but also b) because my perspective on life has been changing. Busy capturing moments that will float by....💕 #capturingmoments #lifewithtillymae #perspective #motherhoodunplugged #babybook #babydays
“Mum, your decorating kinda blows... Do it like this” ~ Tilly, systematically destroying my OCD tendencies 😭🤦‍♀️😂💕 #tillysfirstchristmas #lifewithtillymae #ocdchristmastree #babysfirstchristmas #lifewithtillymae
HANDMADE 🙌💕| If this isn’t the sweetest little ornament... #thelove’s aunt (so Tilly’s great aunt) surprised us with this beautiful handmade keepsake for Tilly. I love that she gets to have her own special spot on the tree. It reminds me of the special ornaments we had as children- I had a ceramic bear that I used to put under the tree, and there was a little fabric Christmas tree that had bells sewn on it, and also a musical bell that played Silent Night..... Sigh, the memories 😍🎄 #christmasmemories #tillysfirstchristmas #handmade #lifewithtillymae #christmastree
GUMMY 😬💕| What a night. Someone has been having a rough week of nights (oh, and her too 😂), and last night was the worst, with me having to hold her for two hours because nothing else would settle her, but this morning, I swear I can see the first glimmer of white in her bottom gum, so perhaps a tooth is to blame- and not her desire for me to never sleep again 😭 Need to stock up on gummy toothless grin photos before it pops through! #teethingbaby #teethingtroubles #neversleepingagain #gummygrins #lifewithtillymae
GIFTS 🎁💕| Christmas is always exciting, but with this Christmas being Tilly’s first, all of those childlike butterflies are coming back to me! She won’t remember anything of this one, but I know they will soon become one of the greatest parts of her childhood. She definitely won’t be getting anything that barks this year though #babyisenough #dontneedanotherthingtocleanupafter 🤦‍♀️🎄 #christmas #babysfirstchristmas #lifewithtillymae
