I think I saw this post somewhere (I can’t remember who did it, so I’m sorry I can’t credit who gave me the inspiration for this post) and found it a really interesting concept for a post. One thing worth mentioning: I’m only going to choose 1 trait per parent, …
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 …
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. …
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 …
When we moved into our house last year we redecorated EVERY SINGLE room. It was a long process but we finally felt happy with (nearly every) room. However, there was something about Grayson’s room that we never felt fully happy with. Grayson has never been a great sleeper, and the …
You may be thinking “Ashleigh, why are you writing about your experience with breastfeeding when your boy is 16 months and you haven’t breastfed in months?”. Well, I love a blog post on this type of thing (who have I become?) and if at least one woman reads this and …
