Right Time to Have a Baby?

“Are we ready?”, I’ve lot count how many times we asked ourselves this when we were expecting. But not just when we had Joshua (our little ‘surprise’) but also when we were trying for baby number two! But, honestly? No. I don’t believe anyone truly is. We planned to have Oliver and tried for a

Parent Guilt in Lockdown

In case nobody has asked today, how are you all? Life is all a bit shit at the moment, isn’t it? While Jamie continues working (from home), I’m juggling all the housework (which there is a continuous flow of with all 4 of us at home), working myself as I work from home anyway and

Our Baby Names List

Our list of baby names for our second baby was pretty similar to the one we had back in 2014, when we were expecting Joshua. We loved a lot of the names so much that they had to go back onto our list with this little one, along with some new ones too. We chose

It’s All Just a Bit Shit

Well, it’s all a bit shit at the moment, isn’t it? How are you all? We are now on week two of lockdown here in the UK – to be honest it may be less, it may be more; I have lost all sense of time! With the schools shutting, we are now home-schooling while

75 Valentine’s Day Blog Post Ideas

If you are a blogger, planning your content ahead of time is key. I love planning what I will be writing about in the months ahead, but sometimes I struggle with writer’s block. There have been times where I’ve had to browse online for inspirations and ideas, to get myself out of that funk. So

Coping with Knowing I’ve Had My Last Baby

I always imagined that when the time came where I was finished having babies that I would feel content. My family would be complete, and I would feel nothing less than happiness. But I don’t feel that way. I feel almost the complete opposite and it’s taken me by surprise. We all decide that our

Looking Forward | 2020

I have never been one for making New Year resolutions. Although, I love a list and the feeling of being organised – not just for around the house but also in life too, so I do often make goals throughout the year. There is something about a New Year that very much feels like a

Being Thankful

I recently had a 5 day admission in hospital, which may not have felt long to any one else but to me it felt like forever. (If you’re not aware, I was recently admitted to hospital with some concerns over how our bubba was doing; which you can read about here) I just needed to

I’m Not ‘Just’ a Parent!

When I got a full-time job back in June 2018, I got a lot of comments along the lines of: “That’s nice, it’ll keep you busy won’t it?” While it was meant as a boost and nothing less than positive, it wasn’t. It was said with blissful ignorance and demeaned everything I had been working

32 Week Pregnancy Update

Well, I am writing this from my hospital bed. As soon as I heard that I may be staying longer, Jamie brought me up my laptop so that I can actually make some use of my time here and get some uninterrupted work done (horray!) As some of you will be aware, I have been
