Sharing my new normal type of motherhood
Becoming a different kind of mother I’ve always had dreams of having my own family, since being a young girl I have had a way with children, I love them and they seem to love me! So much so that I studied childcare after leaving school in 2011 and haven’t looked back since. I have [...]
Burnout Burnout is officially a recognized by the World Health Organization as a health issue and mothers around the world released a collective ‘DUH!”. Working as a youth counsellor and lecturer, I was quite familiar with the phenomenon of burn out. It is a relatively new term, appearing just around the mid-70s which Urban Dictionary [...]
My husband and I met in 2011, engaged in 2015, married in 2016 and decided to start a family in 2017.

They are working in collaboration with @Thismumis and Bauer Media Productions to bring forward to new generation of real talking mums and dads [...]
These last 4 months since Leo was born has flew by...actually the last year since Francesca died then was born has. What has actually happened to this massive portion of my life. 2018/19 has disappeared in a haze of grief and happiness all at once. I think i've been living in some crazy twilight zone where time [...]
