So when I found out I was pregnant with Grayson, Mark and I had only been ‘officially’ together for 8 months. Sure we we’re living together and recently engaged, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him and that we loved each other. But bringing …
TW: skin picking and mental health. So, this isn’t actually the first post I’ve written about Dermatillomania. I wrote a post years ago on my old blog about Dermatillomania and my life with it, but now as I’m older and my relationship with it has developed, I thought I should …
Mark recently wrote a few posts about his experience at uni, and I thought I’d do my take on not going to uni and what I did. Around this time 6 years ago, I found out I hadn’t gotten into the university I’d chosen. I was in Magaluf at the …
“Any plans on having anymore kids?” “Oh wouldn’t Grayson be a wonderful big brother” “You’re married now, shouldn’t you think about having kids?” “You won’t be young forever, now’s the best time” I’ve had some of the these comments (as well as others) and heard a number of people receive …

So, from the name of this post, you’re probably thinking I’m going to complain about being a mum to a little boy. Well, you’d be wrong! The problem with being the mama of a boy, is the expectations and gender specifics pushed on parents and the little boy. One of …
I’d never considered the fact that I was ‘estranged’ from one of my parents. I knew that we were no longer on speaking terms, and that I didn’t consider them a parent anymore. It wasn’t until I read this post that I went, “holy shit I’m estranged from one of …
It’s become a bit of a tradition for us now to go to Latitude every year, whether it’s for a day or the whole weekend. Mark and I went for the whole weekend in 2017, which is when we got engaged (and little did we know, Grayson was also chilling …
