My plans were that Ellie would be completely toilet trained by the time the 6 week holidays were over but the closer we got the more I realised she really wasn't ready. She would have tantrums whenever we offered the potty or cry if she didn't have a nappy on. She would tell us it… Continue reading No more nappies

Photographs
Ever since I was a teen I've loved taking pictures, I was always hiding in my bedroom trying to find new ways to take "the best selfie" or posing in some way. Yet actually, I hate having my picture taken, I get awkward and self-conscious and always feel like a whale. I remember when Luke… Continue reading Photographs

A year ago a documentary was shown on BBC Two called A World Without Down Syndrome, a documentary that I'd been dying… Continue reading October.
Baby groups.
Baby Groups. A topic that can show you exactly what type of mummy you are talking to. You get those mummies who absolutely love baby groups with their best friends (who also have babies) who 'do' lunch afterwards and you get those mummies who shudder at the thought of attending a baby group and interacting… Continue reading Baby groups.

Babies, children and adults get ill. That is a fact that everyone knows but when you are parenting after baby loss, parenting through grief and trying to cope with your own emotions these illnesses can feel so much worse than they really are. Okay, I dont think that any parent hasnt dealt with a poorly… Continue reading Illness.
Our Summer โค
I thought that Id give a more detailed insight to some of the places we have gone to this Summer. Cbeebies Land/Alton Tower We were unsure as to how much Ellie would be able to do at Cbeebies Land as she was just 9 months old but we got very cheap tickets (ยฃ11.50 for all… Continue reading Our Summer โค
