Well its been a long time, for the most part we’ve been having a really positive couple of months with happiness and laughter. My writing usual comes out from within when I’m not feeling so good. So my lack of posts is reassuring. Although I would like to find a way to write when I feel well also, I’ll work on it. My oh...

Feeling Inadequate
Well, it has been a while, yet again I’ve had very little motivation to even sit down and write for the past week. I started this blog in the hope I’d help or inspire someone else in a similar situation. But I also did it for myself, and I’ve had nothing useful to share. It’s been a hard couple of weeks, not for any...

Well, I’ve not attempted to write a post for a week. I’ve wanted to want too, but I had no direction and I didn’t want to put something out for you to read that I wasn’t proud of. But I’m here now, attempting to write something. As you know if you’ve read my last post that I’ll link you for below that both of...

Their birthday…I need to write about this but I honestly have no idea where to start. Theoretically my children turning one and two should be the happiest of occasions. That still is the case of course, in some ways. But a year ago on the birth of my youngest daughter I nearly died. And so did she. I woke up on my daughters first...

Postnatal depression is a bit of a taboo subject and definitely not talked about enough. There’s this stigma attached to postnatal depression that means as a mother you are incapable or dangerous. I’m not going to sugarcoat it, some mothers who get to a really bad place can be a danger to themselves or their children. We’ve seen it in the news before about...

As I’m writing this post it is the last day of me having both my girls to myself. This is the fifth and final day Oliver has been away having a break with his friends. I honestly thought to parent alone for 5 days and nights to two children under 2 would be unmanageable, but it wasn’t. Poppy is very much a daddy’s girl,...

Any child starting nursery or school for the first time is daunting for any parent. Making the decision to put Poppy into nursery was hard but we knew it was necessary. Some people may think being nearly two is too young but early intervention is definitely best in our opinion. Poppy struggles socially with other children and adults even those she’s familiar with. Putting...

This part two of Holly’s birth and neonatal stay. The first part is “My Baby Was Born to Save Me” which will be linked below. If you haven’t read part one this post won’t make much sense. This post is only in two sections as it was hard for me to write the whole thing in one go and I really do try and...
Continue reading...My Baby Was Born To Save Me
There are 364 days between my eldest Poppy and my youngest Holly. I’ve not talked a great deal about Holly so far on here. In all honesty, it is still a hard subject for me to even think about. Nevermind sharing how my youngest baby was brought into the world. But I find sharing very therapeutic so here goes. 28th September 2018 – The...

There’s nothing like taking your child somewhere that theoretically should be enjoyable. I mean what child doesn’t enjoy looking at animals? My child. Now it’s not that she wouldn’t or didn’t have a nice time. But it wasn’t the conventional time you would expect to have as a parent. it wasn’t the experience I’d hoped for when she was born. But we knew so little...
