Every now and then, toddlers like to throw something into the mix when you’d got it all sussed. Zach hasn’t had a problem going to bed for a long time. He’s been in his new room a week now and we’ve had no major set backs – a little bit of whimpering and in there […]
I never in a million years thought I would be writing that title! This evening I went into the bathroom to get Zach’s bath ready. I went for a quick wee (tmi?!), because you can’t do bathtime and bedtime routine needing a wee! While sitting there on the loo, I spotted a spider on the […]
If like me you were watching Educating Cardiff tonight, you may have seen the first airing of the new NSPCC advert. If you didn’t, don’t despair…just make it to the end of this post and you can see it The NSPCC’s latest TV and digital campaign isn’t the usual hard hitting imagery that we often […]
I think I’ve written this post before, in fact I know I have, it’s here. Except this time Zach is a whole year older and you know how much things change within the space of a year when it comes to a toddler! When my dad died, his ashes were buried within a huge woodland […]

Being a working mum can be hard work and what makes it all the more tough is when we aren’t getting enough sleep to survive on. With looking after the little ones, managing the daily household tasks (ahem), and going to work, we can often feel more than a little overstretched and just a tad […]
Today we meet the lovely Kelly from Bringing Up Georgia. Thanks for taking part Kelly Tell me a little bit about yourself and your family I am a first time mum to baby Georgia who is now three months old and we live in not-so-sunny Northamptonshire with my husband, Dave. I was born and raised […]
Just recently, I’ve had a few comments of I don’t know how you do it? when I’ve mentioned the madness of being a full time working mummy. Firstly, I have no choice! Dean works an hour and a half away (if the trains are behaving) and he also doesn’t drive so it would be impossible […]
When the picture popped up in my newsfeed the other day of the Syrian toddler who was washed ashore alongside his brother, I cried. That photo has been haunting me ever since. Alan (and yes that is the correct spelling of his name), was the same age as Zach. He was wearing the same kind […]
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, […]
Firstly, I confess that I’m a TOWIE fan. For those of you not familiar with this programme, it’s called The Only Way is Essex and is a reality TV show in the UK. That’s the confession part of this post over! There is a girl who used to feature in said show that set up […]
I know there are many parents out there preparing themselves for the back to school chaos. Some of you may be completely prepared, some of you may be completely panicked having not yet bought a single pair of grey trousers or a single item of stationery. I remember as a child, the back to school […]
