I remember how much I loved being pregnant the first time round and I always hoped that I would feel the same on any subsequent pregnancies. I know that there are people who hate being pregnant, people who suffer all day vomiting, severe SPD and general feeling like shite. I am very thankful that I […]
Another Easter has happened. Four whole days at home with my little family and tomorrow is time for back to work. How does it feel like it was a normal two day weekend? We have had a wonderful long weekend together, full of such simple things…lots of food, more chocolate than Zach has probably eaten […]
I’m sure that you have seen me mention several times on this blog about the fact that I have to do all of the childcare runs on top of my commute and normal working hours. About how stressful I find it and how much easier life would be if my other half just worked a […]
When I was contacted a couple of months ago to see if we would like to head off on a little holiday to a John Fowler Holiday Resort, it was very exciting. With baby number two on the way, we didn’t think we’d be having a holiday this year and so it was just the […]
I am in no way a baker. I make pretty tasty cakes but I’m the least artistic person ever! It is my aim however to always bake Zach’s birthday cake. I made his first birthday cake with huge success. It was my biggest cake ever but it went down a treat and so I was […]
I think it’s safe to say that the other half and I are somewhat struggling parents right now. If there is one thing I am within this blog, it is brutally honest. I could write post after post on what a wonderful child I have, how clever and funny and beautiful he is and of […]
Throughout pregnancy, the obvious thing that we spend our money on, other than things for baby, is maternity wear. I was very lucky when I was pregnant with Zach as my old boss had a baby 6 months before me and when she was done with her maternity clothes, she passed them all on to […]
Hi everyone! Hope you have enjoyed a lovely bank holiday weekend despite the terrible weather in parts!! Ours was pretty exhausting but lots of fun. I cannot believe it is September. Seriously, how did that happen? All three of us hosts are here again this week and we have chosen out Twinklers from last week. […]
As a working mum, some days I find it extremely difficult while on others it’s nice to be able to sit and have a hot cup of tea without having to wipe a nose or change a nappy! I know there are a heck of a lot of working mums out there, some love it, […]
Zach spent last night in his own room. Not a big deal you may think, he’s 2, surely he spends every night in his own room? The answer to that is no – he has been a part of our room since the day he was born. When we first had Zach, we lived in […]
We initially started our toilet training journey a while ago. We bought Zach a potty, we explained what it was for and he used it a few of times but quickly became disinterested. I think it was more feeling the pressure of having to perform. Then we received some potty training aids for review and […]
I don’t know about you but at the ripe old age of 33, I am so out of the celebrity zone it’s shocking. I used to know who was who, who was dating who, who was divorcing who and who was cheating on who! Right up until the age of 29 I was the master […]
When I found out that we were expecting baby number two, one of my first thoughts was how I’d be giving birth. For a lot of people the assumption is that it will be a natural birth but for many, we are thrown into a quandary because first time round we had a csection. We immediately […]
The very first post that I wrote on this blog was about being a working mum. I was reminiscing on a time when I was at home more than I was at work and when I spent more time with my boy than I did without him. For me, working and being a mum has […]
