If you live in a spacious home with room to spare then read no further, this is not for you! When you have a smaller home like we do – usually described as ‘quaint’ by estate agents – you need to squeeze as much as you can out of the little space that you have. […]
From very early on in this pregnancy, I have been itchy. Only in two areas – my boobs and my stomach, but it’s been really infuriating. There have been times where I’ve been sat at my desk, hand down my bra having a good old scratch. Luckily, no-one seems to have noticed but it was […]

My ticket is booked. The date is firmly in my diary. I am off to BritMums Live in June. And now? I am looking for a sponsor. I am looking for a wonderful company that I can work with, who I would be proud to represent at a blogging conference and proud to shout about. Someone […]
The working hours at my new job are different to the ones at my last job. I’ve mentioned before that my last job was wonderfully flexible and it was my biggest worry about taking on this one. Thankfully, they were very accommodating and we agreed start and finish times before I signed on the dotted […]

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, […]
Three years ago today, our lives changed forever. Three years ago today, I was looking at a little pink line. Three years ago today, I was looking at a second digital reading that said 3 weeks. Three years ago today, I found out I was pregnant. I remember the feeling like it was yesterday. I […]
Tomorrow, my darling nephew starts secondary school (that’s high school to those not in the UK!). I remember the moment when I received the news that my sister was pregnant: I cried. I remember the moment that I heard he had been born: I cried. I remember seeing him for the first time in his little moses […]
Were you by any chance expecting a post about poo?! Luckily for you, it’s not! Nope, this morning there was an explosion of words. Zach’s speech came out of nowhere really. One minute I was slightly worried that he wasn’t really saying much and then suddenly it all appeared and it hasn’t really stopped. He […]

Welcome to another week of Twinkly Tuesday. I am on holiday this week so I’m having the week off. Usually I’d simply point you in the direction of my co-hosts but I just cannot go any further without talking about our amazing blogging friend Julia who writes over at Rainbeaubelle. If like me you’ve been […]
I’ve always been keen to get Zach in the swimming pool. How to swim and be safe in water is one of the most important things that we can teach our children. I’ve never been a keen swimmer and still to this day hugely dislike putting my head under water. When my parents first tried […]
