As a first time mum and interior designer, I have had so much fun designing my first child's nursery. After a lot of research, mood boards and discussions, we have decided to opt for a sky themed nursery for our little boy.

I’m so glad I didn’t give up. She breastfed for five years, rarely got sick, and is incredibly smart! These are the must-haves that helped me along the way.

Our daughter and nieces and nephews are older now, 21 of course :) so it was fun to try and celebrate with them but we also know they'll be out testing the water with friends and later after the birthday, they'll slowly go out if they aren't already.
