I adore being a parent, through all of the trials and tribulations of being a mum I can hand on heart say that I love it. There are a number of reasons that I love it, and obviously I couldn’t list every single one down because we’d be here forever …
I think for a lot of mums once you have children, people expect you to act and behave a certain way. However, the biggest thing I’ve seen other mums mention is that people expect them to look a certain way. It’s almost like people assume that the moment you have …
I’ve seen this question so much in the 7+ years that I’ve been blogging. I’ve read articles on why it’s a dying trend and I’ve seen some of my favourite blogs merge over to YouTube and now Instagram. I’ve also asked myself this very question a number of times. I …
