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

We had to go to the hospital

December 14, 2017December 14, 2017Leave a comment

I had my first mummy scare a couple of weeks ago– I had to take my baby to the hospital. Jack had been running a high temp for a few days, Calpol seemed to be doing the trick and aside from being a bit quiet and a bit off his food, he was our normal … Continue reading We had to go to the hospital

The pain that nobody talks about

November 13, 2017November 13, 2017Leave a comment

There's a lot of things you need to prepare for once you've had a baby – getting all the clothes washed, packing your hospital bag, but the one thing I didn’t prepare for was the amount of pain I would be in after I'd given birth. To be honest, it complete blindsided me, maybe I … Continue reading The pain that nobody talks about

Getting used to our new normal

October 18, 2017November 9, 20172 Comments

So, I'm now in to my fourth month back from maternity leave, and I'm not going to sugar coat it - it's so bloody tough. Going back to work was a conversation that I admittedly put off for way too long, every time Shane would mention the subject I would walk off or just point … Continue reading Getting used to our new normal

Weaning – my honest thoughts

September 9, 2017Leave a comment

I’m just going to throw it out there – I hated weaning! Yep, hated it. I know that comment will probably be met with gasps of shock and discuss, but sod it. Jack was around five and a half months when we decided to take the weaning plunge. I think the recommended age is six … Continue reading Weaning – my honest thoughts

A letter to my one-year-old boy

My beautiful little sausage,Today is your first birthday. I cannot believe that our 8lb 1oz chunk is a whole 365 days old – I almost refuse to believe it.You have changed my life in more ways you will ever know, you’ve taught me that being a mother is the most fulfilling job in the world; … Continue reading A letter to my one-year-old boy

Feeling a little low

August 7, 2017November 9, 2017Leave a comment

I've been going back and forth wondering to even write this. Before I begin I'm not saying that I suffered with post-natal depression – I think it would be insulting for me to class my little blurry patch as something that it wasn't. But I do want to say that the Baby Blues are pretty rubbish and I … Continue reading Feeling a little low

Love is in the air?

February 8, 2017Leave a comment

So here we of again, it’s that time of year where the shops are lined with heart shaped chocolates and bunches of flowers for far as the eye can see. This year marks our tenth Valentine's Day together, and it's a day Shane and I have never really taken much notice of. I think for the first year we made … Continue reading Love is in the air?

The very first day

January 13, 2017February 6, 2017Leave a comment

That first time I held Jack was like nothing I've ever felt before. All the panic and pain of giving birth had completely melted away, it felt like our new little family were the only people in the whole world - at that very moment absolutely nothing else mattered. As the day went on, visitors popped in and out; and at one point it was just … Continue reading The very first day

Dealing with a tongue tie

November 19, 2016February 6, 20171 Comment

“Keep trying” they said, “it'll get easier” they said… Jack was born with a tongue tie, it's a really common problem – where the tiny bit of skin at the base of your mouth is a bit too short - but it meant Jack couldn't extend his tongue out fully so it could cause problems … Continue reading Dealing with a tongue tie
