I was lucky enough to be a stay at home mum with Grayson for 16 wonderful months. While I did love it, I’m not the type of person that can live off of someone else’s money. I’d always feel guilty having Mark pay for every thing, it’s just not the …
When we found out we were having Grayson, after the initial shock had worn off we suddenly thought “crap! What about the fur baby??” Kenny is our beautiful (not so little) moggy, who before Grayson was born, was our main baby and was quite spoilt by us. The last thing …
If you read my post regarding the best things about being a parent, then you’ll know that I said I’d do a post about the less-than-great things. As I said in that post, being a parent is incredible and beautiful but it’s also hard work. So here are some of …

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 …
