READ MOREWhen birth isn’t as it should be. What I know now…
I have given birth twice. I have two healthy children, thankfully. Pregnancy and birth were not easy for me, both times, with health issues for me, and concerns about both babies at the end of each pregnancy. All’s well that ends well though, they say, and we all are here to tell the tale. Sadly, […]

We haven’t done a weekly photo update for a good while, for some reason, I got overwhelmed and stopped them, but they are back and you can find out what we have been up to, it’s usually slightly crazy, and cake, cats and coffee feature somewhere… I had fairly hefty knee surgery on Monday. So […]
