My nephew is at work with us today so I grabbed this educational computer game out. It’s called Targeting Maths. The main educational consultant in the shop raves about it. Her words: “You don’t get any feedback on ordinary products, but this is one product parents rave about and come back to purchase every level as they need it. The best part is, it’s only 20 bucks” You can buy it here It cove​...

Planning with Kids is one of the best “parenting” books I have read. Big call I know – but true. I’m a bit of a go-with-the-flow Mum, which in some cases has its advantages, but sometimes it’s not so good. This was my first year with a child at school, so I seriously needed to look at our household routines, or lack thereof. After seeing Nicole Avery being interviewed on The Circle I ordered this...
From the moment I conceived my babies guilt set in it grasped hold of me like nothing else. It consumed me and some days I'd almost drown. I still struggle with it. It likes to make a little nest in my belly. Some days are good, and I’m rockin it!!! Then other days are just so hard. I's like I have this little dude sitting on my shoulders saying “The house is a mess! You’re so slack”… “Look at...

My legs are walking, my lipstick is on, things are whirling by, the phone is ringing, I am driving, and I feel you coming... I feel you whirling up from deep inside... I want to stop you. I can’t bear to have you bubble up… I can barely breathe…My jaw is sore from being clenched from trying to keep you inside.... ” Grief, I can’t handle you anymore... tomorrow it will have been 7 years” Can I...
Coming home after Titan’s funeral to an empty house, an empty heart and empty arms was one of the worst days of my life. “How will I live my life without my baby?” I would often stand in his nursery and just stare at the empty cot and imagine him lying there. He was meant to be in my arms. I was meant to be cradling him. Yet he was somewhere else and I didn’t know where. I remember comments like...
I have just started to be contacted by media outlets who would like to cover my story. I am totally floored, overwhelmed, humbled excited and proud, of what has transpired on this blog..... I feel like it’s a great opportunity to get the message out that there are thousands of women who have a story just like mine - I am just one of many. It is a subject that needs to be spoken about… Nothing...
The kind man then took us into a room filled with coffins. A gasp escaped from my mouth… That’s when I thought “Oh my God, this is real.” It was a sight I hope to never see again. What do you say at that moment? My husband broke the silence with the words, “I will make Titan’s coffin.” And he did. He spent two days making this beautiful coffin. I think it’s what saved him, it was his craft, he...
All I ever wanted was to be a Mum. The day I took the pregnancy test and it came back positive was the best day of my life. I was so happy, I was going to have this baby I had dreamed of for so long… I was just ecstatic! The pregnancy started out normally - I was very sick and tired (what's to be expected) - until the terrible day in week 6 when I started to bleed. However, the pregnancy...
