“Any plans on having anymore kids?” “Oh wouldn’t Grayson be a wonderful big brother” “You’re married now, shouldn’t you think about having kids?” “You won’t be young forever, now’s the best time” I’ve had some of the these comments (as well as others) and heard a number of people receive …
So, from the name of this post, you’re probably thinking I’m going to complain about being a mum to a little boy. Well, you’d be wrong! The problem with being the mama of a boy, is the expectations and gender specifics pushed on parents and the little boy. One of …
Since having Grayson, our evening routine has stayed pretty constant unless we’re out or on holiday. We like to try and keep his routine as much as we can just so he always has a sense of normality and will hopefully sleep OK (this obviously doesn’t always work). I always …
I think it’s safe to say that when you have children, you start thinking of all the possibilities they’ll have in their life. The type of person they’ll be and what they’ll experience (hopefully all good, and unfortunately sometimes bad.) I thought an interesting post to write (and to read) …

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 …
When this blog started, we had no idea that life would change so much, so quickly. Granted, we’ve been pretty bad at writing posts on the regular (here’s me trying to change that now!), but there’s obviously a good reason for it! It’s amazing to think that this blog is …
After writing a brief post on how I felt about becoming a mum, I thought I’d do a post on how each trimester of pregnancy has been for me. If we’d been posting at the time, then I would have broken this up into separate posts. However, because I’m now …
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 …
