Anyone who is gradually shuffling off the trappings of early parenthood will know that one of the greatest losses of that time period is the end of baby wipes in the house. The time between Josie no longer needing a bum clean and Bene arriving was a time of drought and desolation in the cleaning […]
A long awaited kitchen.
If you follow my Instagram feed, you might have seen that this summer we finally managed to upgrade our horrendous kitchen from hell into something a little more suited to the needs of a large family. Having tried unsuccessfully to win one, Max’s new job this summer meant that at long last, we could actually […]
A day in London for friendship with bonus mental health tests.
The radio silence this summer has mostly been me working my way through a pit of mental health issues that I felt too ashamed to write about. I’m probably not ready to do so yet, but perhaps it is more appropriate to start blogging again and allude to the ways I’m trying to manage them […]
