Ok, so this post isn’t exactly parenting related but seeing as it’s a topic that regularly comes up when I’m with my friends, I’ll share it. Those of you who know me well, know that I’ve worked in not only social media but recruitment too. Both industries are areas that I know so when friends…

What I’ve learnt in the year since Emily was born
Since Emily was born so many things have happened. Amazing things, wonderful things, crazy things. It’s been a brilliant journey and we’re only 15 months in. The past 15 months has flown by at a ridiculous rate. How did we make it through this time without killing each other? But although there’s been moments, it’s…
Parents who fail at parenting
Parenting isn’t easy. Emily is 15m and walking everywhere and as amazing as it is that she is taking those big old steps and she’s exploring the world, you need eyes everywhere- at the back of your head just doesn’t cut it anymore. Tiny humans are crazy. In a world where everything is shared constantly…
We went to Giovanni Fletcher’s book signing in Canterbury
If you don’t know much about Giovanna, she grew up in Essex with her Italian dad Mario, mum Kim, big sister Giorgina and little brother Mario (he was on TOWIE), and with family playing such a big part of her life it was only natural that she had always dreamed of having children of her…
Pregnant and feeling itchy? Speak to your doctor, it could be serious.

Feed your child how you want, boob or bottle, mother knows best.
There’s a lot of talk in the press at the moment that women who breastfeeding are slowly dying out, becoming such a rarity that it could stop all together. I don’t breastfeed Emily, but before you pass the judgement book, I stopped because I developed thrush and fuck me it was painful. Emily wasn’t getting…
I haven’t a clue what to do for Emily’s 1st Birthday
So it’s November, Emily is 11 months old and whilst Sam and I try and figure out where the hell the past year has gone, in less than 4 weeks, our little bubba will be turning a year old. A bloomin’ year! That’s gone quick. Eeek! It’s difficult because whilst I’d love to do something…
Trying to diet as a new parent [pics]
Trying to diet as a new parent has its negatives. Why would anyone want to give up junk food? The benefits are being slimmer than before, but eating 3 meals a day is a challenge, especially as a parent. I’m pretty sure the other morning I ate half a bar of chocolate and this morning,…
Things you should never say to a new mother
“Expecting another? So soon.” Thanks for that dumbass, but the tummy you’re pointing to carried a life not so long ago and that ‘bump’ you so rudely pointed to, takes a while to disappear. “I got back into my size 8’s within a month.” Good for you, want a medal for it? “Don’t worry, my…
