Solo Parenting

I just wanted to talk about the above. I’ve had a lot of time to think during lockdown (which is funny coz I’m actually more busy?!) but I feel like the single mum title is a bit of a taboo? And I really don’t know why? Ever since I started YouTube after Jax’s dad and…

MUM.

Being a Mum is precious. Being a Mum is the world's greatest gift. Being a Mum is long days and longer nights. Being a Mum is being a teacher, a confidant, a pillow, a chauffeur, a chef, a punching bag, a cleaner. An entertainer, an alarm clock, a cheerleader, a provider, a voice of reason,…

My Home-Water Birth

Its been a while since my last entry on here. But life has been bloody mental since then! I am now the proud owner/boss/carer of TWO lovely boys. If you've been around a while you'll know I had an amazing water-birth experience with my first born, Jaxson. This was in a midwife led birthing suite…

Contentment in an Online Life – Is it Possible?

New/latest anything and everything. The list is endless. What I want to make clear, is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. We…

Mothers Day as a Single Mama

Mothers Day. The day society tells us we should receive flowers, chocolates, mugs, teddies, cards, cups of tea or breakfast in bed, goodness knows what else and for our kids (boyfriend/husband/partner) to completely spoil us for the day. Which all sounds lovely doesn't it? Who wouldn't want to wake up to that? How lucky are…

The Mama Tag

Oh Sweet Lavender | July 2018

Last week Jax and I took our annual trip to the Lavender Fields. I've taken him every year since he was born, for photos and just as a tradition I guess. It's so much fun looking at them altogether and seeing how much he's grown and changed. I'm a sucker for photos and memories and…

My Roast Chicken Soup!

Jeez I haven't written in ages! But I miss it. I know I always say this too, but I am going to try my best with it. Anyway I've got a super easy chicken soup recipe for you. And it is so yummy. I've recently been ill so I wanted some goodness in my body…

20 Facts About Me (I’m starting a tag!)

Hey lovely readers! The last couple of months of being signed off of work, I have had a wave of determination to make my YouTube Channel work and I've never been so passionate! Anyway, in light of that and feeling like I'm on top of my schedules etc, I've really been missing my blog. I've…
