I always find the ways that people choose to parent their children really interesting, not in a judgemental “my ways right and you’re wrong” type of way, but just because most people’s parenting types are different and I love to see what works for others. When you search the internet …
When I got pregnant, I think a small part of me assumed that I end up with this amazing circle of friends. We’d all be mums and take our kids to do stuff together, but we’d also do stuff without them. I don’t have a huge group of friends, and …
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 …
In my life, I’ve experienced a number of different therapies and therapists. Some good and some not so good, but I’ve always maintained that if you find the right therapist for you, then it’s extremely rewarding. My first experience with therapy was when I was in high school, I think …

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 …
