Hi everyone, So I feel like I should apologise. Around 2 years ago, Mark and I started this blog together with the hopes of updating regularly and just generally enjoying putting posts up. We’ve both gone through stages of writing blog posts and really enjoying it, but then something will …
I know this isn’t the usual type of thing we tend to post on The Stevenson Life, but after reading a number of tweets and Instagram posts on an Instagram story Millie Bobby Brown shared, the issue really resonated with me. If you don’t know who or what I’m on …
It’s something I’ve wanted to do for years, but it just never seemed right, or possible. By “right”, I mean, I never felt settled enough in one place to commit the next 20 years to living there. I’ve always been a bit of a loose canon when it comes to …
When you get pregnant, people will tell you all the usual things. “Get ready to never sleep again, hope you’re ready to change ALL the nappies, good luck clipping their tiny little nails” the list goes on, but one thing that I was NEVER prepared for was the mum guilt. …
So, as usual it’s been a while since we’ve posted on our blog and instead of apologising I’m just going to hold my hands up and say- yep, it’s been a while, no I don’t know when we’ll next post because raising a baby is hard work. The last post …

After reading Mark’s perspective on becoming a parent, I thought why not chime in with my own thoughts and feelings! I’ve always wanted children, every since I can remember I have wanted to be a Mum. At the same time though, it scares the crap out of me. Childbirth terrifies …
For years, maybe, 31 of them, I’d convinced myself that I didn’t want children. I was happy just being me, just the best Uncle (of course) to many nephews and nieces, not really worrying about them once they’d left my responsibility zone. I guess its because I could never imagine …
It’s been a while (massive understatement) since Mark and I wrote any blog posts, and I’m so sorry for that. We weren’t really happy with how the blog looked and needed to change it, but just never got around to it. Now that we’re happy with how it looks, I …
This isn’t really the idea of our blog, I don’t think either of us ever thought we’d write a post like this, but sometimes you just need to vent your anger, frustrations and upset. This is one of those times. As everyone knows, on Monday night, a tragic event took …
