Firstly, let me make this clear. This post isn’t aimed as a “feel sorry for Dads” post. I’m not like that, I’m not 10 and I’m not in a school playground. This is just a factual post about how life is being a (working) Dad. You know, there is such …
We all know I have a very push/pull relationship with social media (as I previously mentioned in this post) but through all its faults I find some accounts really beneficial and interesting. Especially on Instagram, and so I thought why not share those with you incase any readers are looking …
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 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 …
I think I saw this post somewhere (I can’t remember who did it, so I’m sorry I can’t credit who gave me the inspiration for this post) and found it a really interesting concept for a post. One thing worth mentioning: I’m only going to choose 1 trait per parent, …
In a lot of ways I was very lucky after having Grayson, I had a wonderful husband and support system. After we started combination feeding, breastfeeding was a lot easier (we still had blips obviously) and in general things were too bad. One issue I had quite early on was …
I’ve written a few posts about how different aspects of my life have changed since becoming a mum. However, I’ve never really touched on how I’ve changed as an individual over-all. Before having Grayson I had a very short temper, I’ve always had a very short fuse and probably always …
