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 …
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 …

Learning to learn I’ve always been bad at learning new things. I’m awful in exam situations, and I struggle to take in new things when people are explaining them to me. I would speak to my tutors, ask for help, go to the library, but nothing really worked for me. …
It IS a shock to the system As much as I enjoyed being away from home, University life is a real shock to the system. I soon realised that the people who were my “life long” friends from back home, were no longer part of my life. I tried to …
