I just wanted to share with you, a post that I wrote for the Mums Lounge Australia website. I am so excited that they liked what I wrote and featured it on their site. It’s also majorly exciting that a link to my piece is currently on the main front page. http://www.mumslounge.com.au/lifestyle/family/5-emotions-you-will-experience-being-a-parent-of-a-toddler/  I have always […]

I don’t think there is anyone that hasn’t seen the latest breastfeeding scandal in the news this week regarding the lady who was asked by a member of staff in Claridges to cover up while she breastfed her 12 week old baby. I’m sure you’ve all seen the photos that accompanied the article – the […]

This morning I discovered I am not alone. I felt like I was and have done for a while but there are other people out there like me. This morning I discovered that I am not the only female on the planet that hasn’t read Fifty Shades of Grey! I discovered that I’m not the […]

I was awoken at 1.30am this morning to a whimpering toddler. He sounded like he wasn’t going to go into one and I thought he might fall asleep without requiring me. Thankfully, he continued whimpering! I went into his room bleary eyed and was welcomed by the following sentence that no parent wants to hear […]

Being full time working parents, the other half and I spend much of our spare time with Zach. I often feel bad if I spend any time away from him of a weekend because it’s the only time that we get quality time together. As for the evenings, well, we are usually knackered and have […]

Today is a sad day in the world of parent bloggers. Today marks two years since our fellow blogger Jennie @ Edspire lost her beautiful daughter Matilda Mae. Matilda was a beautiful, chubby, happy and healthy baby. On the day she turned 9 months, she was taken from the world. Matilda died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, […]

I’ve done it. With this post, I have completed the January 31 day blog challenge. I have managed to write a post every day for the last month. I am so impressed with myself. It hasn’t been easy. Trying to get round to writing a blog post while working full time and being a mummy […]

Hopefully you all enjoy reading my blog but there are lots of amazing bloggers out there and I thought I’d take this opportunity to give you a list of some of my favourite bloggers. As Dermot O’Leary would say, in no particular order… Jennie over at Edspire Jennie’s blog is one of the most emotional […]

This photo appeared on my timehop app this morning and it was like a thump of realisation that I don’t have a baby any longer. Of course, I’ve known for a while that he is no longer a baby but there’s nothing like an old photo popping up that makes you realise just how fast […]

There is no doubt that parenting is wonderful. Watching your beautiful child grow, the one you created, is simply the best feeling. Of course, there are times when you are driven mad and there are stages where infuriating things happen on a regular basis! We are at one of those stages right now! It’s a […]

Laying on the floor of Zach’s bedroom while I make sure he is finally asleep, I’m just here thinking about what a wonderful little boy he is. Yes he has his moments and there have been some incredibly cheeky ones this weekend but overall he is just the sweetest boy ever and he makes me […]

Zach spends three days a week with my mum and for those three days a week, I have to give her food to give him for dinner and tea. It has gotten incredibly hard because he has started getting fussy and where I used to give them pies and quiches from the deli counter, he […]

I like to think that having been a parent for two years now that I have some idea of what is thrown at us parents between birth and toddlerhood. There are lots of books out there that focus on the developmental stages, when they should be walking, talking, their weight, height etc., but I thought […]
