School Days Are Coming… And I’m not Ready

Posted on by Emma Reed

Dear son,

This week was a biggie. We found out your school place and even though the build-up has been coming for months, I wasn’t expecting to feel this way.

The Toughest Game Show On Earth!

Posted on by Emma Reed

Daily life with a toddler has it’s up and downs and constant battles. It’s so different from a newborn, where you are tired from lack of sleep.

It made me start to think that it could actually be the plot for the hardest game show on earth!
