Being a mother has made me a better person. It’s as simple as that. Ever since the moment that I held another life inside of me, and (even more so) when I held that little person in my arms for the first

I have been blogging (albeit inconsistently) from the perspective of a mother of two little ones. I have also been following the blogs and vlogs of a couple of friends, one who is experiencing her first

Thinking out loud. I apologise in advance, it’s just that I’m having a moment here and am mostly thinking out loud (isn’t that what blogging is anyway?) I have been feeling the burden of my financial troubles

It’s been a busy week for me. I am once again writing another post lying down in bed, not how I’d prefer to do this, but oh well! Today we met our son’s nursery teacher for the first time, and she was

I’ll be honest. It’s been a challenge to be positive about anything the last couple of days. Today was one of those days that seemed never ending, not that I should be wishing any of my time away, but

It was my son’s christening yesterday. We gathered together as family and friends to celebrate and share a meal. It was a beautiful day filled with so much peace and happiness. My heart feels full today

When I fell pregnant for the very first time it was a total surprise; I didn't even realise that my period was late, and the only reason I even took a pregnancy test was because I was complaining about

“Well maybe it is you, a little bit.” After everything that’s been unraveling about Facebook and Cambridge Analytica (which I ironically found out about on Facebook) a few of my friends were soon using

This is a post that I wrote for my other blog, Bump and Beeyond prior to me having a Steemit account (and then deciding to merge them). I felt compelled to share it on this platform today because of a
