I'd had a truly awful week so wasn't much looking forward to it, after being made to feel like a… Continue reading A small break from motherhood.

Take a break magazine.
So I wrote a poem just as the first lockdown started easing in the UK. As you can imagine having a baby during a pandemic wasn't very enjoyable, Nova knew no different, but I did and so did so many other parents. It was extremely isolating. I had obviously imagined something so different during my… Continue reading Take a break magazine.

Mum shaming.
These words honestly annoy me so much. I am so aware that people do mum shame, however giving out safe advice is not one of those times. I share safe advice on my social media platforms often, I do this because these are things I've been taught. Someone either came to me, or I saw… Continue reading Mum shaming.

Are you a Googler?
Is anyone else a Googler? You know, you see/feel something on you or your child and you Google it and UHOH big mistake?!
