I think letting kids use things like phones and iPads will always be a bit of a debating topic for a lot of people (parents or not). I also think there’s nothing wrong with a healthy debate, and that’s why I felt this would be a good post to do! …
*T.W alcohol abuse and mention of vomit* *small disclaimer here, I am in no way glamourising drinking, binge drinking or alcohol. I am purely writing from my own experience, and there is nothing glamorous about waking up fully clothed with a McDonald’s chip hanging out of your mouth* In a …
I’ve been on the pill for as long as I can remember. I can’t actually remember exactly when I started, but I think I was around 15 (this is a huge guess by the way). So that’s nearly ten years of altering my insides. My relationship with the pill had …
