It's funny that the last time I wore a bodycon style dress must have been about five years ago at least, and I've not been brave enough to wear one since. This pregnancy has given me so much body confidence though. I don't know if it's because I know this is my last baby or because I'm just proud of this little life growing inside me, but I have loved wearing clothes that show off my growing bump.

As I get closer to my due date I am starting to get things ready for when the baby comes. I have the most gorgeous new changing bag from PacaPod in one of their new spring 2017 colours; it is the Richmond bag in dusky pink herringbone and it's so pretty! PacaPod changing bags are actually three bags in one and they're rather cleverly designed! I have been saving it for when the baby is actually here as it will just end up being full of the boys' toys and snacks if I start using it now, but I thought I would give you a closer look as a lot of people have been curious to know how more about it.

2016 was all about hygge, the Danish concept of calm, cosiness and simplicity, and it was something I embraced over the winter months. Snuggling up with blankets, candles and hot chocolate just seemed sheer bliss. For 2017 though, a new Scandinavian trend is sweeping over us Brits: lagom.

Lagom comes from Sweden and is more of an ethos, rather than just being about blissful moments. It's about finding balance: about not having too much or too little, but having just the right amount in life. Rather than finding time to squeeze a bit of lagom into your day, it's about finding balance in your whole life and with the world around us, making it more enjoyable, more sustainable and less expensive.
