Life “after” coronavirus

I was just reading one of my old posts that I wrote in lockdown about the advice and regulations changing and all the questions that were swirling through my mind. It was strange reading it back and knowing that at the time everything was so uncertain and a little bit terrifying. We had no idea…

Hi, it’s me

Dear Diary… It’s been a while… More than two years. The last time I wrote we were in the middle of a pandemic and I was struggling (surprise surprise) with the thought of wether or not I would or wanted to have any more children. We are now through the pandemic thank goodness. There were…

It’s Harder than I Thought.

First of all I would like to start by saying that this is just a post to get some things off my chest and is in no way at all aimed at anyone in particular and I haven’t written it to make anyone feel any type of way at all. Anyone who has read my…

What Next?

With lockdown rules set to change across the UK within the coming weeks I have constantly found myself thinking "what next?". What will happen in these coming weeks or months or even years. I have admitted before that I am a constant over thinker so whack me in the middle of a global pandemic and…

Advice for New Mums

I have seen a few posts about advice for new mums recently so I have been wracking my brain trying to think of all the good advice I would have liked to have received or even did receive as a new mum. I'm sure there was loads of good advice I got but in those…

I don’t want to forget

When we first had Leo I remember one of the pieces of advice we were given was to write down memories of how Leo said words or little quirks that he had so that we wouldn’t forget them when he’s older. I never paid much attention as I just always assumed we wouldn’t forget. How…

My Life with a Two year old

I’m a chronic over thinker and I like to know that I have thought of every possible scenario of a situation that may or may not happen so that I can be prepared for what may come. When Leo was really small I liked to think I was quite prepared for most things that would…

In Lockdown

Well its been a while... but what better time to write a blog post that when you literally can't go anywhere. I've been on annual leave from work now for almost two weeks. At the start of my annual leave the Corona Virus (COVID-19) was something we had to be wary of but all the…

Being OK

"How's things?" "You alright?" "How you doing?" These are all questions that we ask people at least once on a daily basis. Yet, I always think, how often do we actually want to know the answers. For instance, when I walk in to my local shop and Sheila behind the counter says "hiya, you alright?"…

Family Life update

Little love My little love is now 16 months old. Since my last blog about the family, I have returned to work, become very slightly less anxious and Leo has learnt to sit, crawl and stand. He's grown 11 teeth, had his one year jags and now he walks! He's a total jabber jaws as…
