I’ve never been big on exercise, in the past I’ve joined the gym on a few occasions and ended up quitting after a month or so. I got into Pilates a few years back, and had to stop the classes as I moved away from the area (if you read …
One thing I always try to do, regardless of who it is or the situation, is apologise when I know for a fact that I’m wrong. As humans (or maybe it’s just me), we’re stubborn and don’t like to admit if we’re in the wrong and that’s especially true as …
After I had Grayson, I was lucky enough to have a year off to be a full-time mum. I recieved a small amount of maternity pay from the government, and the rest of our income was from Mark’s pay packet. We’re very lucky that Mark earns a decent wage, but …

My brain works in such a mysterious way sometimes, that it’ll just throw little brain teasers at me every now and then. One that I’ve recently had is ‘is there a right time to start a family?’. Which got me thinking. I’d always known I wanted kids, and that I …
