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 …
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’ve been Grayson’s mum for 18 full months, and my god have they been an incredible 18 months. He’s come so far, from being this little flakey 8 pound 4 baby to an absolute giant of a toddler. He just amazes us more and more every day and my heart …
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 …

When we moved into our house last year we redecorated EVERY SINGLE room. It was a long process but we finally felt happy with (nearly every) room. However, there was something about Grayson’s room that we never felt fully happy with. Grayson has never been a great sleeper, and the …
When I was younger we had disposable and later on, digital cameras. There were photo albums and baby books for me and my sister and that’s just the way it was. Where as now we’re lucky enough to have better cameras, more space and social media. I have a really …
So, from the name of this post, you’re probably thinking I’m going to complain about being a mum to a little boy. Well, you’d be wrong! The problem with being the mama of a boy, is the expectations and gender specifics pushed on parents and the little boy. One of …
It’s become a bit of a tradition for us now to go to Latitude every year, whether it’s for a day or the whole weekend. Mark and I went for the whole weekend in 2017, which is when we got engaged (and little did we know, Grayson was also chilling …
