Sarah - "5 Years On" Layout

Lisa-Jane - BLW Layout

Lisa-Jane - "BLW stands for Baby Led Weaning which we did with both children.  Instead of spoon feeding tghem pureed food, baby learns to feed themselves solid food from 6 months.  Its really messy but loads of fun and they learn a lot from playing with the food and throwing it about!

A layout about my daughter's very first day at school. I've used a variety of products, including Mr Huey Calico White Mist, a Crate Paper Little Bo Peep Sticker, and the Dear Lizzy Date Stamp
