Candle Haul!

Autumn is here and I start to light candles again!

With moving home and it being Summer

I haven't been lighting alot of candles but

now I have stocked up again

For me there is nothing better than to

draw the curtains and light a candle or two

while watching a good drama or movie

To run a hot bubble bath, put on some soft

music and light a few candles

Turn the lights down low and light a couple of

candles while eating dinner

Or even light a few twinkling candles

while eating breakfast on a misty grey morning!

So here are a few candles I stocked up on recently

The first two candles I got was
Yankee Candle Waikki Melon
I really like this scent
It's a really fruity scent
with a strong fragrance of melon and sweet orange
It reminded me of tropical holidays
and a cocktail I drank alot of
on my honeymoon to Mexico!
This candle throws scent really well
I will definitely be buying this again

The next medium size candle
was Cashel Living Vanilla
This candle threw scent very quickly
It was a creamy vanilla scent which
I love to burn in my living room
while relaxing
I really like this candle and will
buy this one again too!

The next candle was
Yankee Candle Sicilian Lemon
This one is a very fresh tart lemon
but I was disappointed at how the
scent threw, it disappeared quickly
After a few days of burning it
the scent was more or less gone
Not sure I will buy this one again


I also bought
Yankee Candle Vanilla Chai
This is my Autumn scent for this year!
It sums up Autumn for me
Its basically vanilla mixed with tea and
cinnamon spices

Last candle for my haul is
Yankee Candle Fireside Treats
I love this candle fast becoming one of my favourites
It a sweet smelling candling without becoming to sickly
I will buying this one again

So that rounds up my candle haul
What are your favourites?

Bump To Baby - He's Here - 10 Month Update

Milestones:

He plays peek a boo now!
When in his walker he can open the washing machine door!
He also opens cupboard doors!
Oisin can now stand on his own when holding on to something!

How Many Months Old?: 10 Months! Can't really believe my baby boy is 10 Months old!

Weight & Height?: Not sure but Oisín is now in all 18 month clothes!

How Is Baby Eating?: On and off again this month due to teething, some days he will be great and eat everything other days he only drinks bottles. He is feeding himself more and really likes it, he is very independent and likes to do things himself.

How Is Baby Sleeping?: Sleeping is a bit like eating at the moment some nights are great, others not so much due to teething. Normally he goes to bed at 7pm and sleeps right through till 7am. On a bad teething day he will fall asleep around 6/6.30pm and wake up through the night, then wake around 5am for the day!

Is Baby Crawling or Walking Yet?: Still no sign of crawling at all, he goes on his belly and gets into crawling position then......nothing! He does like standing and has started to put himself up to his knees in his cot!

Is Baby Talking Yet?: He is he can say Dada, Mama, baba, Nana, and egg! New words this month are yeah, Daddy and boo!

How is Baby's Routine?: It's the same as past months

How is Mammy & Daddy this Month?: We are good this month, getting more time as a couple and looking forward to planning Oisín's first birthday party!

Worst Moment Of the Month?: Last week when Oisín was cutting another tooth and woke at 4am. I was like a zombie for the day!

Best Moment Of the Month?: When he stood on the back of the sofa on his own cause he wanted to look out the living room window!
