Our life with our toddler
Breastfeeding in public is a much-debated and quite controversial issue that continues to divide opinion. While many people don’t see a problem with it, many others find it quite off-putting and even offensive – but why? Is it down to personal views or even a deeper reason, such as their faith or the over-sexualisation of…
It’s a funny time, early pregnancy. Arguably, you experience the worst symptoms in the whole of your pregnancy but you have to suffer in silence until 12 weeks. I noted down the worst things and here is my findings. The A to Z of early pregnancy. A is for anxiety. Seriously I cannot stop worrying….

This week has all been about the seaside. We already made bunting for our beach hut (it’s a plastic play house but we can dream). Thanks to bit of on-the-spot thinking however, our dreams have become a reality. The sun has shone all week which helps but I brought the beach to us. Last winter…
