Keeping In Touch Day vs. Nervous Mother – A Sneak Peak Into the End of Mat Leave
It is 6.26am and my alarm for work will go off in 4 minutes. But I am already awake. Robin woke up before 6am so whilst daddy went and made a feed I had a quick cuddle with him. I decided to go back to bed for a little bit but was lured into checking…
Postpartum Body Identity Crisis – What Should I Wear?
Its 6am on a Sunday and I am wide awake. Nothing new there except Robin is fast asleep curled into me. So I should be too, but I can’t, something is playing on my mind. This coming Friday I am going into work for a keeping in touch day. Not just a quick hello but…
Who Needs Sleep Anyway? The Rantings of a Sleep Deprived Mum
Sleep, lovely sleep where have you gone from my life? I miss you. But who needs sleep anyway? I decided to google how much sleep new parents lose and it is quite amazing how much it is! There is even a site where you can calculate how much sleep you have lost out on, but…
The Hectic Weeks and Mummy’s Quest to Get to a Coffee Shop
Weeks 5 – 8 – The Hectic Weeks I have called this period the hectic one as most of the month of April involved having good friends and family up to visit. Great in a way as it allowed me to spend time with my nearest and dearest, but bad in other ways as it…

Nature Inspired Knitting and Crochet – Day 23 of #30DaysWild 2017
Day 23 of #30DaysWild looks at the nature inspired knitting and crochet I am working on. Just before Robin was born I decided I wanted to try and knit and crochet some items for him, knowing that this would be a long term project as it takes me AGES to make anything! Crochet Animals I…

Nature Inspired Books for Babies – Day 20 of #30DaysWild
Day 20 of #30DaysWild is all about nature inspired books for babies. As you can maybe tell from my #30DaysWild posts this year I am very keen to introduce Robin Oleander, my 4 month old son, to nature at a very young age! But sometimes it is not always possible to explore the outdoors. So…

Weeks 3 & 4 of Robin Oleander’s Life Let’s call these the transformation weeks. As mentioned in my previous post once Robin had hit 3 and a half weeks I decided it was time to get back in the car. Even if it was just to drive to the in-laws to say hello and get…
The Early Weeks of Having a Baby and the Quest to Shower
The Early Weeks To be honest as I write this and try and cast my mind back to the early weeks it is a sort of blur, as if my mind almost wants to blank it out. Having my partner off for 3 weeks was great (it was a shame one of those was spent…
