A letter to my five-year-old

August 29, 2021August 30, 2021Leave a comment

My darling baby boy, I cannot explain how excited you have been to turn 5, the other day I asked you what you’re most looking forward to about being 5, and you jumped up and said “that I’m finally going to be older than 4!” Well, now we’re finally here at long last! I feel … Continue reading A letter to my five-year-old

The lost maternity leave

June 21, 2021June 21, 2021Leave a comment

Being pregnant in the middle of a lockdown was hard enough, but nothing compares to the harsh reality of raising a new-born baby at a time when I was barely allowed to leave the house. Today was Thea’s first settling in session at nursery, in the blink of an eye my little new-born baby is … Continue reading The lost maternity leave

Always and forever, Nanny

February 11, 2019February 11, 20192 Comments

I’ve written this intro way too many times, trying to get the words out, trying to explain the past few months. I write, then stop, then try to start over, then stop again. I feel like now is the time for me to get back to it, to use this blog as the creative and … Continue reading Always and forever, Nanny

My Mum Bod

It’s time for me to face facts – I can’t call it ‘baby weight’ when Jack is nearly two! I’m very aware of the fact that my body is very different now, when Shane and I first met I was only 16 and still dancing to stay in shape. I was a petite size 6-8 … Continue reading My Mum Bod

Needing a little perspective (and sleep)

July 12, 2018July 12, 20182 Comments

Jack, the little darling, has taken to waking up any time from 4.45am-6.30am most days, for as long as I can remember he's always been a 7am kind of guy, which suited me just fine. But now he refuses to go back to sleep when I tell him 'it's still night time' - the kid's … Continue reading Needing a little perspective (and sleep)

Holiday with a toddler – expectations vs reality

June 24, 2018June 28, 2018Leave a comment

So, we’ve just been on our first family holiday, and my gosh was it an experience. I tried not to go in with any expectations on what it would be like going away with a toddler, and I also promised myself that I wouldn’t get too stressed out and just go with that flow, eventually … Continue reading Holiday with a toddler – expectations vs reality

We’re not quite there yet

May 7, 20182 Comments

Jack's two in August and lately we keep getting asked 'so when's the next one?' and to be honest, it's driving me a little mad. We're just not thinking about that yet – we've just moved in to a new house that needs a lot more work than we first thought, money is tight, and … Continue reading We’re not quite there yet

Moving on up

December 29, 2017Leave a comment

They say that buying a property and planning a wedding are two of the most stressful things you can do – well three years ago we decided to do them both at the same time! Fast forward to today, we’re now smack bang in the middle of buying our second property, with a toddler, and … Continue reading Moving on up
