Time to talk about the worst kept secret.

Argh, what’s she saying? I think it’s time. Time to talk about the worst kept secret. It seems to be the talk in the press recently, but mainly for the wrong reasons. Whilst most brands are shouting from the rooftops it’s perfectly OK to wet yourself, when it isn’t, I for one am happy to…

Advice for new mums…

Honestly, I’m probably not the best person to give advice on having a baby and what happens next as I’ve only had one baby, a baby, my baby, little Emily who isn’t so little anymore, but in the eyes of just about most, is very little, but I do think there should be some kind…

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.

When I was pregnant, I never had a birth plan, I never got round to writing one. Instead I generally spent most of my pregnancy going to the doctor for blood tests or scans, that mostly resulted in nothing. Well, until about a month before I was due, I had an appointment telling me I…

We would like more children yes, but it’s no ones business but our own

Since I’ve had Emily, there’s been non-stop questions asking when we’re going to have our next baby. It’s almost like if we don’t get ready and have our next, there won’t be time left. I can recall, as if yesterday, a few days after Emily was born was roughly around the first time that question…

I hope, if rumours are true that the latest Kardashian-Jenner are pregnant, that this isn’t some PR stunt.

So apparently, not sure if you heard but not only is Kim Kardashian and Kanye West expecting their third child through a surrogate, aparrently her younger sisters Khloe and half sister Kylie are exepecting babies too. Whether the rumours are true or not, if they are I hope it’s not for publicity because a baby…

Just a little rant….

There are some things that I just don’t get other parents doing. Am I being a snob to disagree? But there are just some things that some parents do that are just not ok. I have to get it off my chest after seeing it happen for the third time in less than a week….

Things that happen in an induction

I was induced. I had to be so I didn’t really have a choice in the matter but in a sense I was pleased as I don’t think I could have waited till her due date to pray she come out. I thought they were pretty straightforward but until I knew the facts I didn’t…

The incredible case of my disappearing belly button

I’m 35 weeks now and boy has the time gone quickly. With that, unbelievable changes have happened with my body and one cannot wait for them to return to normal once Missy is out and I can see my feet again. As my bump has grown more and more, the sight of my feet have…

Best Pregnancy Apps I love

You’ve got a whole 9 months (or less!) until your little baby arrives and takes over your full and undivided attention. Now that you’re pregnant, avoiding Dr Google like the plague and gear yourself up to the big day in a few months, having some support is super important to keep you sane and help you…

Some ways I interact with Missy

Little Miss is an active baby. As you’ve read from my previous posts she’s a keen kick-boxer, dancer and loves the sound of any form of movement, or even my breathing to set her off on her mission to make herself known. At first the idea of talking to her seemed odd. Like, how on…

Women who smoke whilst pregnant, why not try to quit? Why continue?

The other day I saw a pregnant young lady who must have been about 6 months pregnant puffing away on a cigarette whilst her child sat in his pram, smoke filling the air around them. As an ex-smoker -I gave up as soon as I found out I was pregnant- I didn’t even hesitate with giving…
