Category: Parenting

Parenting is my largest category on my blog. I started it when my first child was around 2 years old as I wanted to not only promote my book but document what it was like to be a Mum and what we got up to.

Topics here are vast. You will find top tips, advice, real-life experiences, first-hand mistakes and parenting fails, help and support and an honest viewpoint of being a parent and all that goes with that title.

In tips I cover those fun topics like sleep or the lack of! Teething, the stages like terrible two’s and threenager. I also go into the changes that occur when you have a child like the start of pre-school or school. Everything is real life, no sugar coating. I also cover how I am now far more eco-friendly and how you can also implement this as a busy parent.
