Dinner Our Sleepy Smiles RecipesMarch 10, 2017

Sausages in pesto and tomato sauce

I like easy meals which also taste yummy!  The ingredients for this one are probably in many peoples fridge already and even if it takes just under an hour to make it is not very demanding, and you can easily make it with your child playing with play dough in their high chair 🙂 This…

• Nursery Christmas Event • I took a break from revision this morning to go to JJs Christmas Event at nursery. Very proud mamma moment when he played Joseph during the kids singing Away in a manger 🎄 Now back to my coffee and reading. Mock exam tomorrow, after which I’ll be meeting up with a bestie, so at least I have something to look forward to 😉 . . . . #christmas #merryandbright #photobooth #jamesheralvurkelly #christmastime #myboy #motherhood #revision #givemecoffee
• These Guys • Sitting here sipping coffee, another long night ahead of me trying to get my head around anatomy and physiology. These guys will be heading to the Faroe Islands in one weeks time and I will have a few days to myself to revise for my exam before heading up to join them for Christmas. Can not wait for family time with ZERO studying 😉 . . . . . #family #studentmidwife #silasaonghuskelly #jamesheralvurkelly #motherhood #motherofboys #crazylife #familyportraits
• Sunday • I stopped revising at 22:00 last night but then I just did a liiiiiittle bit more and before I knew it it was 2:00 in the morning 😕 so I am tired today. We had a slow start to the day, JJ went to Sunday school whilst I went to church. Daddy took Silas and Suzie for a long walk. Now we are preparing lunch and then it will be revision again. I am sincerely hoping that some of this revision is sticking to my brain 🧠 . . . . . #revision #studentmidwife #jamesheralvurkelly #sunday #slow #tired #mumfirst #motherhood
• Enough • That’s it, I’ve had enough for one day! Time for bed and to continue the revision again tomorrow! Oh and this is what most pictures of Silas look like 🤣 . . . . . #overandout #done #enough #goodnight #silasaonghuskelly #motherhood #revision #studentmidwife #bedtime
• Bedtime story • The boys got a new book (second hand) from the little elf who stays in our house during December. We love the stories about Katie Morag. In tonight’s story was this lovely illustration of Katie’s mum breastfeeding their baby and it made me so happy to see. Once again, the more society is exposed to breastfeeding the more acceptable it will be. . . . . . #katiemorag #normalisebreastfeeding #morethanjustfood #motherhood #storytime
• Breastfeeding • Today I am revising breastfeeding. It is a topic I am very passionate about and I have loved learning more about the anatomy and physiology behind it. I strongly believe that in order to make society more accepting and comfortable with seeing women breastfeeding their children we simply need to see it more. So here is a picture of Silas feeding. He is just over a year old in this picture. Today he is 22 months old and still breastfeeding. It is definitely hard at times, especially during the night when he crawls all over me to go from left to right breast 🤣 but as I am sitting here reading about all the benefits and all the good stuff I have and still am giving him I know that it is worth it! . . . . . #breastfeeding #revision #midwifery #studentmidwife #momfirst #momlife #motherhood #normalisebreastfeeding #justfood #silasaonghuskelly #thebest #breastfeedingmom
