When I was a child, role models were people who did something with their lives. Someone we could look up to and take inspiration from, someone who’d make us push for a dream we’d want to work towards and achieve. Unfortunately times have changed, but not by a little, but by a lot. In my…

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…
Stop right now, thank you very much, we don’t need a Spice Girls reunion.
If you had asked me at the age of 12, I would scream with pride that 90’s girl power pop group were reuniting, I’d literally punch the air and rejoice. My 32 year old self, doesn’t agree. A couple of weeks ago, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Geri Horner, Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm all met…
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…
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…
Park rant: children’s play areas
Okay so I’ve got something I need to rant about, I know I know not another rant, I seem to be pushing a few of these out every few weeks, but here me out because there is a point to it, I promise! My problem is why do teenagers feel the need to take over…
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….
Parents and Volume Control, when do you step in?
I need to rant… So this has been plaguing my mind for months, actually since I moved here and it’s always been a constant question as to whether I should write about it or just leave it. My problem here is a neighbours inability to control her volume on a daily basis. I’ve asked on…
The final final few days (basically me ranting)
They say the final few weeks and days drag and by God do they. When you get pregnant, you itch with excitement waiting to tell your loved ones, then there’s this long-ish dance about that can go quickly or last a while, then towards the final few months go up a few notches in speed…
8 Months pregnant, allow me to rant a little…
I’m in my third trimester and although there’s only 8 weeks to go, I want it to be over. I’ve been pregnant for what feels like eternity and although my little chickpea has a while yet before she’s done in my oven, I’m really keen to just get her out. This may be the tiredness…
