What Do You Want To Read About?

With so many "Mum Blogs" out there, it's not always easy to be unique. Yes, I talk about things from my perspective, which may be helpful, and reassuring to other parents. But lately I have found myself thinking about what do people really want to read about. As most bloggers I have many ideas, with...

Travelling With A Toddler

If you've read my previous blog, you'll know that I have recently been away with my son, hubby, and inlaws. What I didn't tell you about is the utter hell we endured on the flight home. We went on our first family holiday with our son when he was just 11 months old (just the...

Life’s Been Busy

It's been almost a month since i've posted and i'm sorry. Daily life has taken over and i have found myself with barely anytime to think or write. It was my son's second birthday a month ago today, and planning and organising took over. I still can't believe how fast two years have past, and my...

How To Deal With a Virus

When our children become unwell, by even a common virus, we worry. My son, who turned two recently, and who has rarely been ill, had a virus and developed a rash. The first thing we did was to check the common symptoms of measles and rubella. But the rash disappeared under glass, and it was...

Sorry

Just a note to my wonderful followers, sorry i have been MIA lately. My son was ill with a virus for the last week, so I have been busy nursing him, he has now fully recovered, which was just on time for his birthday party! I have some posts in the pipeline for this week,...

Sometimes I Feel Like a Bitch…

I think my husband would agree that i can be a bit more harsh, and quite strict with how i would like our son to be raised, and half the time i feel like i I'm just perceived like an obsessive bitch. I'm quite specific with the types of foods i want my son to...

Vegan Bean Chilli

So, here's another one of my favourites for you. I developed this recipe by trying out a few recipes I found online and cook books, and just adjusting it to my own taste, adding and removing some ingredients. I usually cook this bi-weekly, so at least twice a month. Its a definitely a favourite in...

8 Ways To Hide Pregnancy- When You’re Just Not Ready To Tell The World

This is a story close to my heart; I found out I was pregnant very early on in my pregnancy - at around four weeks. It was late October, and with the Christmas season approaching, I knew there was a good chance that I would have issues hiding my pregnancy. My main concern was work,...

Tofu Stir Fry

As mainly a plant-based eater, I love good stir fry, and it's a meal I regularly cook at home for me and hubby. It's a great colourful dish, and I love the vibrancy of the vegetables, rather than beige foods, which makes me feel bloated and lethargic. Instead, a stir fry fills me with energy and...

Breastfeeding – End Of An Era

Before I ever decided to have a child, I knew that I would want to exclusively breastfeed. I know that this isn't easy for some, and it can be painful in the beginning, but I wanted to persevere and I got through the difficulty of latching and the painful stage. I'm not going to lie,...
