This was originally posted on my Instagram, but after the caption sparked such an interesting discussion with other Mums, I wanted to also post it on the blog. Be sure to head to the Instagram post to read the inspiring comments from other women. I hope it helps you and other women to realise that there is no such thing… View Post
One thing about blogger press trips is that you’re expected to hit the ground running, no matter how many time zones you’ve flown across to get there. The itinerary starts as soon as you land, and so does the content! So whenever I fly long haul, I have a ritual that helps prepare my body for the new time zone… View Post
I have a new best friend who already has an invitation to join us on our first family holiday to Almunecar next year; its the BABYZEN YOYO. As you may know, we’ve been using the Joolz Day3 as our day-to-day pram whilst at home in the UK (read my review Day3 review), but for weekends away and trips to visit… View Post
Travelling with a baby is a whole new ball game and something I am easing myself in to slowly. Whilst overseas travels are on hold til next year, we’re enjoying taking Theo on mini adventures in Leeds and further afield in Yorkshire. When First Leeds invited me to take part in their Blogger Challenge, I thought it would be a… View Post
You could say this is a transitional time in my life. I’m getting to grips with my new role as a Mum whilst recovering from the trauma of having a 25 week premature baby. These two things have been paramount. My priority. I’ve made a conscious effort to take things slow, be kind to myself and to appreciate how lucky… View Post
When I was expecting Theo, I remember feeling rather overwhelmed by the world of baby products. It was an alien new world that I knew nothing about. Yes, I was growing tiny human, but I hadn’t a clue about things like prams, car seats and nappy bags. The amount of advice online is overwhelming. So where do you start? I… View Post
Theo has been home with us for over three months now, and during this time we’ve had plenty of milestones (both on his part and mine). Theo’s milestones have included smiling, grasping objects, putting hands to mouth and rolling from tummy to back. My milestones have been all about gaining confidence as a new Mum, doing things solo and learning… View Post
Finding the words to start this blog post aren’t coming easily. I’ve stared at a blank screen for at least 5 minutes (quite unlike me). Before I start I should probably put out a bit of a disclaimer to manage your expectations. This isn’t your typical heart-warming, oxytocin-filled birth story. It is a story of trauma, fear and heart-break in… View Post
Social media gets a bad rep these days. People say that Instagram is responsible for creating unrealistic ideals and false versions of reality. They say that it can lower self-esteem and make people feel inadequate. I would have to agree with this, but I feel a little guilty for doing so. As a blogger, I’ll hold my hands up and… View Post
There are two simple things I want to say in this blog post; Hello and thank you. Hello you wonderful readers and followers of my blog, who I basically deserted back in October. Hello to all the brands and PRs who still may not have a clue where I’d gone. Hello to the new followers and amazing people who I… View Post
