January is traditionally a bit of a depressing month for most people. Many of us over-eat, over-drink and over-spend over the Christmas period leaving us feeling lethargic and poor come the New Year. It may be because I’m pregnant this year but I don’t actually feel so bad. So I’ve come up with my own…
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the differences between being pregnant with G and this time. Your first pregnancy is the most different because you can do what you feel like doing and, if that happens to be nothing, then so be it. You can nap when you’re tired, eat junk for lunch if…
Thanks to the increase in popularity of blogging and digital entrepreneurship, it’s never been easier for stay-at-home mums to start their own businesses and start making a good living from their own company.

We all use a New Year as an excuse to reflect and look back on the year just gone and look forward to the next. I am no different. I am actually done with New Year’s Resolutions. You never stick to them. I heard wise person say if you want to do something (or not…
As the year draws to a close I think it is normal to reflect on the highs and lows of the past 12 months and, for bloggers, it is no different. I started my blog in 2013 as an outlet for myself to write about parenting and life on the farm and, on the whole…
I’m a bit late with my 28 week update as it fell right over Christmas. However 28 weeks I am and *klaxon* I am officially in the third trimester. Yipee. I had a 28 week appointment at antenatal this week as well as the first of three growth scans to check that the baby is…
