REAL AND HONEST PARENTING
Only two weeks ago i posted about why i didn't vaccinate my son, and i 100% stand by this as a personal choice. However, the recent outbreak of measles reported in the media is driving widespread concern, including for my parents. So once again conversations have arisen in my family about the fact my husband... Continue Reading →
All medication comes with a list of potential side effects, all medical procedures have risks, and all products we use every single day and even food we consume come with a warning label of potential allergies, however when we walk into a doctor’s office and they want to start your child on the government recommended vaccination schedule, the risks are brushed over, not allowing parents to make fully informed decisions.
During this unprecedented time, I wanted to do something positive and put focus on something other than bad news, so I decided it was a good time to potty train my two-and-a-half-year-old son. My husband and I have attempted to potty train him before, but literally gave up in a matter of hours after pee... Continue Reading →
For the last two weeks, people have been selfishly stockpiling and hoarding products due to the coronavirus outbreak. It has been almost impossible to find anything in the supermarkets, beginning with pasta and loo roll, now fresh fruit and veg. When I first saw the empty shelves of Sainburys last week, I literally just wanted... Continue Reading →

Today we will lay you to rest, and I feel so heart broken that we have lost you. I know I didn't see you as often as I should, and I'm sorry I wasn't a better niece. I wish I had spent more time with you, not just in the last few months, but when... Continue Reading →
A while ago I posted asking what you'd like to hear about, and I was asked about what parenting challenges I have experienced and how I have overcome them or attempting to overcome them. This is basically the foundation of my blog, and there have been MANY challenges in my parenting journey, and still continues... Continue Reading →
It's Christmas eve! I cannot believe it's the festive season. This year has past incredibly fast. My son has developed and grown so much, and I cannot believe the things his learnt (including bad words 🙈). His got the funniest little personality, and he is also so sweet and polite, saying his pleases and thank yous.... Continue Reading →
I'm sorry that I haven't posted for a while. I've been through a lot of ups and downs lately, my health hasn't been great and honestly, I haven't really felt like writing. I was even in two minds about writing this, let alone posting it. I'm the girl with the smile on her face, the... Continue Reading →
Happy Halloween to all! My candy bowl is full, and pumpkins on display. Whatever you are doing today, staying in to hand out candy, trick or treating with the kids or a bit of both, enjoy.
My son has well and truly hit the terrible twos. Exploring where he shouldn't, testing boundaries, drawing on the walls and so much more. As a new parent all i remember is looking forward to my baby boy communicating with me, and every one telling me to saviour those early days when he couldn't walk or... Continue Reading →
