Writing has been incredibly difficult with my son hitting the four month sleep “regression” (I hate calling it that), teething and with my husband kicking off his MBA program… oh the weather in London is still atrocious. I am tired and my thinking has decreased to near nonexistent levels.

This week I can see the tide turning slightly; I’m getting used to be woken up every hour between 2am and 7am, my husband and I have had a heart to heart about how we can support each other to ensure no one gets left behind and I’ve gotten baby some tethers he likes and some teething powder.

I thought coming back with some things I’ve loved this week would be easier than finishing any of the blog posts I’ve written and not finished in the past three weeks. So here are things I’ve loved this week:

Book: So Thrilled for You by Holly Bourne

Following the lives of four university friends, this book had me laughing out loud, crying because I could relate (sleep deprivation am I right?) and judging where I couldn’t relate just yet.

Music: Relaxing Pop Piano Covers by The Bedtime Orchestra

Nothing much to say with this one except I love piano or string covers of pop songs and this album is played at least once a day in my house.

Tv/Youtube: This YouTube series by Digging the Greats

Using iPod for 30 Days Changed My Life

We’ve cut back on tv substantially since having a baby as it’s important to us that he remain as screen free for the first two years and the only way that happens is if we are as strict with ourselves as we are with him. All of that is to say I’ve watched a limited amount of tv this week and this YouTube series was the standout.

Baby things: Infatot teething toy

As mentioned the little baby is testing. As he’s still quite young he hasn’t fully mastered the art of grabbing them putting things in his mouth with ease… this toy however he seems to just get? We’ve loved them (we got two).

Those are my Friday favourites!

I will aim to do one of these at least twice a month.

Hope you find something you’ll like.

Thanks for reading.
