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 …
I often remember a lot of parents saying “new borns are a breeze, it’s toddlers are the difficult ones” and I remember looking down at my little squishy baby wondering how he could ever become difficult. Grayson is now 20 months old, and heading for 21. He hasn’t been a …
