I am nearly 40, my body has been through weight gain and weight loss, two pregnancies, and there are some scars and marks to prove it. I have stretch marks on my tummy & thighs. I am mostly ok with them, I am learning to love my body a bit more and be less bothered […]

Please don’t be scared to tell me you are pregnant. Yes, I’m struggling a little (OK, a lot) with the idea that I might not fall pregnant again, and am facing the possibility that we are “done”. Yes, it’s a little hard for me to deal with the feeling that you have something I want, […]
READ MOREIf you follow us on social media at all you would have seen these posts from this past weekend where I shared about how my small boy was struggling with an ear infection then a perforated ear drum. It was not a fun thing to watch him in so much pain, knowing there was very […]

But the point of this article isn’t to complain about how fast time slips through our hands. It’s about preparing […]

I pride myself on being relatively organised. I have a phone, a notebook, a diary, post it notes festooned around the house, and two children who know I often misplace my keys, and will remind me to check if I have them, before we leave the house in the morning. However, I slipped up recently […]
