Apparantly April is Cesarean Awareness Month and while I've shared the birth story of my son, my daugher was born before this blog and therefore I've never shared our story here. As she came to us via a failed induction which ended in an emergency section, this seemed like an ideal time to do ... READ MORE »

3 Ways to Survive ‘Mummy Guilt’
We've all been there right - we've made a decision, we feel happy about said decision which has been carefully thought out and considered and then BAM....it hits. Mummy guilt. Let's face it, no matter what decision you've made - whether it's moving type of feeding from boob to bottle, moving home ... READ MORE »
Introducing The Bo
First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Mr Bojangles but as I am hoping we will become firm friends, you can call me Bo. I also answer to BoBo, The Bo, BoBot, DumBo and fluffpot.....yeah don't ask about that one! I am a 9 year old moggie - 10 next month in fact - who lives in a ... READ MORE »
The Sophie Debate – why I won’t cut off her legs
Sophie the Giraffe made the news this week; not because of the price (£15 for a teether?!) but because there could be mould growing inside it. All week my social media newsfeeds have been going crazy with irate mums demanding a product recall and making comparisons with the Tommee Tippee drinks cups ... READ MORE »
BLW – Crustless Quiche
This is a recipe I've been using for lunches for a while now as I'm not a great pastry lover but I do enjoy quiche...the solution? Crustless quiche of course, and this week I adapted it to fit into Henry's BLW diet. ... READ MORE »
The End of an Era
The Bear had her last day at nursery this week and I have mixed emotions about the entire thing. When we initially sent her to nursery it was not only a nessesity because I worked full time, but also a choice on our part. It was important to us from a social and development perspective for her to ... READ MORE »
Feeling Judged – a bottle feeding mummy
You hear a lot about judgement of breastfeeding mummies; horror stories of being told to cover up, asked to feed in toilets and being ostracised by society. There are huge campaigns to normalise breasfeeding which is a great thing, however I have to say I have never once felt judged for feeding my ... READ MORE »
Banana Pancakes blw style

Literally just 2 ingredients: banana and egg.....and that's it! Sounds ... READ MORE »
Hello 2017 – we’re going to be busy
2017 is going to be a time of big changes for us as I become redundant from my job at the end of this month, and from February onwards my maternity leave ends and I enter the world of the self employed. I have worked in projects in a transnational, corporate environment for a long time now, so the ... READ MORE »
Goodbye 2016
2016 has been a big year for us and one I will look back on fondly. Believe it or not Darcie only learnt to walk this year, something I had to double check as it feels like she's been walking for so long! Even though we didn't plan to travel much this year we still managed a week at centre parcs, ... READ MORE »
A not so festive time….
An open apology to my children It's Christmas Eve's eve and today the three of us survived Tesco, just about. This was not how the morning was supposed to go but the crafty plans of cake decorating soon fell short when I realised that the icing for the cake had gone hard. Completely my fault - ...

You disappoint me, dear friends
I'm so lucky that I've had a good set of friends around me. I'm not one of those that have flocks of people around me but the close friends I have (and have stuck around through out life upheaval in the form of two kids), I'm confident will be here for the long haul. We've grown together: had ... READ MORE »
