When we bought this house – we knew that we’d have to do an amount of work in every room. It wasn’t in a bad state by any means. The previous owner had been renting it out, so it was habitable, but was decorated badly, cheaply, as in, cheap laminate …
In a lot of ways I was very lucky after having Grayson, I had a wonderful husband and support system. After we started combination feeding, breastfeeding was a lot easier (we still had blips obviously) and in general things were too bad. One issue I had quite early on was …
This is quite a simple post for our blog, but posts like this can come in handy if you have nothing else to watch. I’m only going to include our joint favourite shows, purely because I’ve watched a lot more than Mark and I think it’s better to know that …
I’ve written a few posts about how different aspects of my life have changed since becoming a mum. However, I’ve never really touched on how I’ve changed as an individual over-all. Before having Grayson I had a very short temper, I’ve always had a very short fuse and probably always …
TW: Birth Trauma I had a traumatic birth experience. Even writing that is difficult, it fills me with dread and fear and a whole other mix of emotions. It makes me feel light-headed and shakey and uncomfortable. I think for a long time I was running off adrenaline and the …
In a month or so, Ashleigh and I are going away to see a band that we both love. We’ll be spending the weekend away from Grayson, and although we miss him when we’re away – it’s so important as a parent to have time away from your children to …
I’m not ashamed to admit that at the moment I am struggling. I’ve come on leaps and bounds with my mental health, but it’s nowhere near perfect and I doubt it ever will be. I still have extremely depressive episodes when I just want to sleep for days at a …
This is a very impromptu post, and I’ll be posting it straight after writing it (scandalous I know) so it won’t be checked, checked and checked again like we do with all our other posts. So apologies for any mistakes. But right now, at this very moment, I’m not okay. …
Music – my top 15 tracks and what they mean to me. Music has always been a massive part of my life. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had an urge to listen to music. You’ll never find me sat in silence. Maybe it drowns out the …
We didn’t intentionally co-sleep. We thought Grayson would go from sleeping in his sleepyhead to his cot, and then from his cot to a big boy bed. However, it obviously hasn’t worked that way. Grayson has never been the best sleeper, don’t get me wrong he isn’t awful but in …
