15 Months!!

 My little man turned 15 months this week! Wow time flies.

Stuff he loves

1. Kissing mummy to wake her up in the mornings.

2. Sitting in paint at nursery instead of using it to for painting.

3. Singing twinkle, twinkle little star.

4. Eating!

5. Body slamming mummy to wake her up (unimpressed)

6. Stealing spoons from the cutlery draw and then losing them (we have to buy spoons almost every month)

7. Eating!! (yes, worth mentioning again)

8. Screaming.

9. Special Agent Oso (I'm a bad mother who let's her child watch TV! Gasp*covers mouth w/ hand*) 

10. Turning lights on & off.

Love you Munchkin Face.

Mwahh!!

Last week

I've been MIA for a while. The weather has been so nice here and we've been out enjoying it, couple that with having to go to work and I just haven't had the time to post anything new.

So what's been happening in the world of Napmit? Well, lots of days in the park with the boy and enjoying the sun. On Saturday we went to my mum's and hung out in the garden with my little brother.

 Ettien had a great time playing. He wasn't feeling very well AGAIN (when they say it's a nursery curse they're not joking!) but he soon perked up when he realised how much fun eating grass and throwing sticks can be.

Sunday was another chill day for us all. And then the dreaded Monday morning came again and I was back at work. It wasn't all bad though, the days have been so nice that it actually feels good to get out of the house in the mornings.
Everyday after work we let Ettien run around in the park. He's not yet very fond of the slide and detests the swings so he just runs around with his hands waving in the air screaming. Funny boy.

And in other news...
My business cards arrived this week. I was so nervous about them not being very good (I did all the artwork myself on photoshop) and when they arrived I wasn't initially that thrilled with the results, but after fiddling around with different packaging methods I'm really very pleased and proud of the outcome.
I'm so excited to start sending them out!!

Business cards and swing tags.

So, so, soooo pleased with how these turned out. Eek!

Speak soon,

Mother's Day

It was Mother's Day on Sunday. After having a crappy saturday having to stay in due to an upset stomach I was really looking forward to going to spend the day with my mum.

Ettien's card he made at nursery. A flower made of his hand prints. My boy's so clever! ;)

I really can not believe that I am a mother too now.

I woke up in the morning to a lovely surprise...

please excuse the mess on the table. Bow making and toddler feeding get very messy sometimes!

Orchids are my favorite flowers ever!! It's a shame i've managed to kill every one i've ever had. (Too much light, not enough light, too much water, not enough water...I mean gheez!, Sooo temperamental!!! Lol)

Then we were off to visit my lovely mother and spend the day with her and my little brother.

I bought my mum and auntie boxes of chocolate and a beautiful lavender bush for my mum's garden along with cards 'to mum' and 'to grandma'. We sat around chatting, eating food and watching crap on telly. Absolute bliss! Love my mummy SO much!

Happy Mother's Day!

Sick and the city :(

What a beautiful day we had today in London. After the months of doom and gloom and miserable weather we've finally started to get snippets of spring setting in. Today was a whopping 20 degrees! Okay, not exactly a scorcher but for March?, little blessings eh!

Unfortunately Ettien has ANOTHER cold! I swear, he's had a cold (what seems like) every week since he started nursery and that was in Jan!!! We usually get away with him having a 'chronic' runny nose but yesterday evening I noticed his cheeks were flushed and he was being rather irritable so I suspected he was coming down with something. What is it about kids getting sick at nursery?? I was warned by the nursery nurses when Ettien started that it was likely that he'd keep catching colds. They called it the 'nursery curse' but come on, what is it?. I wonder sometimes whether it's one sickly child infecting all the rest or whether they just keep infecting eachother. I know it will help him to build up his immune system but, Poor Boy!

Anyway, because the weather was so nice today we thought we'd chance it and take the boy for a brief session in the park. Of course, he was totally not up to it and I felt bad watching his poor little eyes and nose running so we only stayed out for 20 mins.

Here's our day,

A rough night :(

...but a better morning :)

Poor baby!

Tower Bridge.

'please take me home'

 He's nicely tucked up in bed now. Hopefully he'll be a little better in the morning, I'm anticipating a bad night though. Fingers crossed. x

Mummy Fridays!

Today is Mummy Friday, Whoo! Well actually its Wednesday but seeing as its my last day of the working week, 'round ours we call it 'Mummy Friday'.

Man, won't this day end!!

I'm sat here at my desk literally counting the minutes until this day ends and I can go home to give my little boy a big cuddle. They say 'time flys when your having fun'. True. But time acts like a snail on downers when your not having fun. How can a 9 hour day feel like it takes 30 hours to end!?

Anyway (exhale)... its Mummy Friday *smile*.

Tails from the tube.

I was thinking that this could be a good segment to have on the blog every week.
I take the tube to and from work Mon to Weds - two tubes in fact and the things I see whilst I'm travelling. 'oh, the things I've seen!'...

I HAD to blog about this picture I took this afternoon. As soon as I saw it I almost laughed out loud. Come On, you know what I was thinking...do you wanna say it or should I?
Is that a banana in your pocket or... Hahahahaha!
But come on though. The guy that's in this picture must have known what people would think! I bet he put it in his pocket as he left work thinking this will get some laughs. I bet he got home and told his wife that he had a banana sticking out of his pocket on the tube ride home. I bet it even made her chuckle.
A massive thank you to the banana man on the tube, you made my evening!

Bubbleface.

Sometimes you just gotta take a moment, sit back, relax and look at the most beautiful bubble face in the world.
Love him!

Maybe now is a good opportunity to introduce the light of my life. This is Ettien. A 14 month old, singing, climbing eating machine! He loves bath time, so this is quite a fitting picture of him. Having probably eaten a hand full of bubbles and playing hide and seek at the edge of bath. I'm betting he threw a fit when I tried to get him out - like most nights!

I'll leave it there as you'll be seeing a lot more of him! 

New Colours!

Thanks to http://www.craftsnstuff.co.uk/ for the exciting new colours!


Stay tuned to see how they turn out.

A very warm napmit hello...

Hi I'm napmit. Pleased to meet you!


I'll start by letting you know a little bit about myself. I live in London and at the moment I am at the beginning of starting up my own business. I'm doing this whilst working part-time and looking after my 14month old baby. (i did say 'a little bit')


The baby in the picture? That's my son, Ettien! Lol!! Why pay for a baby girl to model when I have a beautiful baby at hand who won't charge me a penny - just lot's of dry cheerios to eat and props to play with.Hahaha!


I make bows and hair accessories for little girls. It all began with wanting to buy a bow for my newborn (she's nearly 7 months now) god-daughter. I couldn't find a simple, yet modern and stylish bow that was reasonably priced yet didn't look like it would break as soon as you opened the clip. So I decided to make some myself! I loved it, so I've decided to keep making them and sell them to other mothers like myself who are fussy particular about the design of their baby's stuff but don't want to pay the earth for them.


All of my bows are handmade from high quality Berisford grosgrain ribbon and are available in a large variety of colours. I am also offering a bespoke bow making service for anyone who wants a particular colour or style, or a bulk order for party bags and other events.
Visit my website for more information http://www.napmit.moonfruit.com/


This blog will hopefully detail the progress and achievements (please god!) of my business and the daily ups & downs of my life.


I hope you'll stick around and enjoy reading!
