I haven’t written a post since my Mental Health post back in May – so thought it was about time that I put pen to paper (err) and get some thoughts out. Todays post is just in time for Fathers day, a time where we celebrate Dads of all shapes …
There are many layers involved with parenting; it’s not just about putting a roof over your child’s head and making sure they eat. Of course, providing them with the basic necessities is a huge aspect of being a parent, but it’s also important to guide your child in the right …
The other week I was telling a friend how I’d had a really bad migraine the night before, and that because I was solo parenting at the time I told Grayson that my head was hurting and that I wouldn’t be a able to play as much. My friend then …
I recently did a guest post for Eddie at Yorkie…not just for dads – and it made me think about the days / weeks immediately after Graysons birth – and how I (hopefully) helped Ash get through (probably) the most traumatic times of her life so far. In lieu of …

When I got pregnant, I think a small part of me assumed that I end up with this amazing circle of friends. We’d all be mums and take our kids to do stuff together, but we’d also do stuff without them. I don’t have a huge group of friends, and …
