We often struggle to find fun, new things for us to do as a family. Of course, we have our “go-to” day’s out (mostly National Trust places, or simply mooching around the City), but we always want new places to take Grayson to, so he doesn’t get bored of seeing …
I wrote about our evening routine a while back (the post can be found here, if you’re interested). So I thought I’d write a post about our morning routine, as it’s differed slightly since I’ve gone back to work. Grayson has been sleeping a lot better since he’s gotten his …
I’ve been Grayson’s mum for 18 full months, and my god have they been an incredible 18 months. He’s come so far, from being this little flakey 8 pound 4 baby to an absolute giant of a toddler. He just amazes us more and more every day and my heart …
I’d asked for this book for my birthday as I’d been desperate to read it for a while. I love reading books that could possibly help me as a person, and even better if they can help me become a better parent. I started reading it about a week or …
I have so many people ask me if I plan on having anymore children, and when I say no the response is usually one of shock and confusion. Growing up, I saw myself having 2-3 children. I think being 1 of 2 children, it probably made me think 2 is …

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 …
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 …
