Treading water is about as close a description as I can possibly give at the moment to how I’m feeling. We are now into the fourth week of the summer holidays and to be honest I feel like we have done pretty well. I haven’t been too stressed out, or at least not for the … Read more
Is it because I’m a stay at home Mum? That’s the question that has been spinning around in my head for the past couple of months. I know we’ve had a busy few months with Little Bean starting school and the arrival of Jelly Bean. I get that these are big events in the life … Read more
