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…

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

Hey lovelies! So I've got a mama tag for you today! I've never done one of these so I'm slyly doing an excited jig whilst in my office chair... saddo I know. The wonderful Claire tagged me from 'Dear, Mummy Bear' and I can't wait to get started! So here we go: HOW OLD WERE…

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have such angels…

What Anxiety & Depression Feels Like

Hello! Me again talking about quite a shitty topic I guess (I don't want my blog to turn into a sad page of woes) but I thought I'd finish up by just sharing my thoughts on what A&D was for me. In the beginning, I think I started noticing that I was getting a lot…

My CBT Journey

Okay so following on from my last post, I just wanted to write about my CBT journey and how/why/what helped me. When I first got referred, I did think that it'd take ages, because from my understanding,  waiting lists for the NHS are usually endless and I suppose they put people with the highest priority to…
