Play dough recipe!
Hey everyone! I remember when I was a little girl my mum used to make me home made play dough and it would keep me entertained for hours. My mum is from the Philippines and when she was younger they had a family business in making Ube, a popular dessert made out of purple yams….
Our family Christmas 2018
All of that preparation getting ready for Christmas and now it’s been and gone. We are well into January now but still munching on the Christmas chocolate! Sorry diet. Christmas this year was very exciting as Zara is fully invested in the magic of Christmas and everything else that comes with it. The closer we…
Another Christmas without you.
I wrote this poem to Zachary in 2015 on our second Christmas without him. I’ve added more this year. Our lives have changed so much since then but one thing that hasn’t changed is how much we love him. He is still very much a part of our family and although I don’t post about…

I thought I would write about our breastfeeding journey seeing as it has played a huge part in our lives over the past few years. When I was pregnant with our first baby Zachary, which feels like yesterday but also a whole lifetime ago, I knew I wanted to give breastfeeding a go. As a…
National Breastfeeding Week – When Zara was a baby!
Seeing as it’s #NationalBreastfeedingWeek I thought it would be great to share what I had written when Zara was still a little bubby in 2016. She’s 3 next month, I’m not quite sure where the time has gone. Zara fed all the way up until she was 21 months and I was pregnant with Zayah,…
Our journey into the world of cloth nappies.
Since Zara was a baby I had always toyed with the idea of using cloth nappies. Zara was only a few weeks old when I’d first seen some cloth nappies in a local baby store. I loved how they looked, so bright, colourful and with the cutest patterns on them. It was not until Zayah…
