I enjoy a bit of reminiscing about the past, I love it when a buzzfeed quiz pops up in my timeline that brings back memories of school and my early teens… this infographic from myvouchercodes.co.uk has brought back happy memories indeed! I remember being off school sick and completing Crash Bandicoot on my ps1! I… Read More
I recently got my ‘Golden Boobs’ award, otherwise known as a year of breast feeding! It has been a fairly intense journey as Arlo has never taken to drinking from a bottle, and only from a beaker in the last month or two (if someone else holds it!) He’s also really only started to enjoy… Read More
The last four weeks have seen these two become thick as thieves at times. Now we’ve moved to a bigger home there is a lot more space for them to roam around in, and Arlo seems to be so much more content to play when Athena is at home than the one day when she… Read More
Whenever people ask me what’s on my essential baby buys list I always mention our ‘snot sucker’ or nasal aspirator if you want to use the correct term.

It’s so nice for Athena and I to get some time together if I can persuade Arlo nap somewhere other than on my lap, and when we do it’s a really good opportunity for us to read ‘nice books’ which are ones that we don’t want Arlo to get grabby and pully with! Athena now… Read More
I’ve been a ‘mother of two’ for just over a year now, and amazingly have managed to keep everyone alive, health(ish) and happy (mostly). I can’t say it’s been a breeze, because some days it’s been really bloody difficult. My top three sentences in the last year have been:
