This month Piglet is 18 months old. He will be closer to 2 than he is to 1, and that is a scary thought! We are rocketing through the year and sometimes I have no idea what we have done all day. There are some many little things that I remember doing as a kid
If there is one thing that has really irritated me in the last 6 months, it has been the constant comments about Piglet’s hair. We let his hair grow quite long and I loved the curls at the back. I think it suited him, and his hair was lovely and soft. However, most people had
It is becoming increasingly popular for a bride and groom to ask for their guests to go unplugged for the day/night. It is something that JHogg and I requested ourselves, that no one would post anything on social media about our wedding on the day of it and that they would wait until we posted
Last weekend I went out for a friends birthday. Properly out-out in a bar with dancing and cocktails – the stuff of dreams. No baby to worry about (except a slight niggling at the back of my mind that I was going to have to get up with him the next morning), bedtime routines to

Summer is well and truly upon us, but now I’m a Mum things are a little different. It no longer means lazy afternoons in the beer garden, BBQs in the park and lying out in the sun. It’s more geared around paddling pools, suncream and trying to stay in the shade. Those days are surprisingly
Next week, Piglet will be 16 months old (don’t worry – in “real life” I just say he’s 1). He is at this amazing stage where he is changing every day and constantly learning something new. He has started saying words, using elements of sign and his movement is unrecognisable from where he was 5
I’m going to be honest – I’m not actually sure I know how to write this post without making both my mother and I sound completely insane. I mean, we are pretty bonkers so I’m not even going to try and deny that part, but this may make us sound completely off our rockers. So
Last week, in a Costco car park, I had a man come up to my car window to shout at me and call me names. The reason? I had shaken my head as I drove past them, as they had driven into the space that I had been patiently waiting for. Blocking my door so I
Sometimes I find that I put too much pressure on myself. I don’t want to be that mum who doesn’t have her shit together. Obviously my friends any family know that I’m winging it every day, but I like to give off the vibe that I’m cool and collected. Of course I don’t worry about
