Why I failed #Blogtober17

Well hello there, it’s been a while! I’ve been off the radar for a few weeks now, but I’m officially back and raring to write again.  So, I guess you’re wondering what happened? Blogtober17 was going strong and then, suddenly, I disappear.  It all started a month ago. We were on our way to Spain … Continue reading Why I failed #Blogtober17 →

#Blogtober17 Day Six: Flowers

Feeling appreciated and being a parent aren't always two things that go hand-in-hand, but recently my husband got it perfectly right.  The day before the boy’s first birthday, the doorbell rang. I opened it to a florists van and a lady standing with a beautiful bouquet in a box. For a fleeting second  thought my … Continue reading #Blogtober17 Day Six: Flowers →

#Blogtober17 Day Three: Car

When we found out I was pregnant, one of the first things my husband did was start looking for a new car. We found out I was pregnant on 19th November and we picked up our new car over Christmas. Previously, we had a lovely little Ford Fiesta, which we both really liked. It was … Continue reading #Blogtober17 Day Three: Car →

#Blogtober17 Day Two: Babies

Today I'd like to be really honest about my experience of having a baby and how I've found the past year. I always tell everyone what an amazing thing it is to be a parent, and that's true, obviously, but I think as parents we tend to gloss over the difficult bits for fear of … Continue reading #Blogtober17 Day Two: Babies →
