I hope you enjoy Pearls story as much as I did! xx (more…)
So. Today has been an interesting day so far. And by “interesting”, I mean “shit”. Today has been totally shit. And that’s because apparently today is the day that my baby has decided to turn into an absolutely mind blowingly ridiculous little turd burger. (more…)
We are travelling with our son in the morning. For the second time in his little life, we are heading to the airport, hopping onto a plane, and flying away to a warm and tropical destination…and I am both super excited AND absurdly terrified. (more…)
Here is the conclusion to the amazing seventh instalment in our Real Birth Story Series, contributed by the lovely Kate Noppert! As you may know, Kate has kindly contributed not one, but THREE incredibly raw stories which I have been absolutely priviledged to be able to publish for you over the last week. If you haven’t read the first part’s to Kate’s story, then you can read them here. Click here for part one and here for part two xxx.

I am so thrilled to be able to present this final chapter to you all, and I hope that you enjoy the conclusion to Kate’s very raw and honest journey into parenthood as much as I did… xxx (more…)

Here is the seventh instalment in our Real Birth Story Series, contributed by the lovely Kate Noppert! Kate has kindly contributed not one, but THREE amazing stories and I feel so incredibly privileged to be able to publish them all for you over the next coming week. Today I am honoured to present to you the first incredible part of Kate’s three-part contribution, which relates to the birth of her first beautiful daughter – Astrid. It outlines the struggles that Kate was forced to face when labouring with Astrid, and the complete loss of control over her own body and birth outcome. I hope that you enjoy the first part of this very raw and honest account of Kate’s journey into parenthood as much as I did… xxx (more…)
I went out for dinner with a friend last week. I know, right?! I’m shocked too. Shocked that I am doing something that resembles having my own grown up kinda life again… Yep, mummas gotta get a life, however in the year and a half since my little one was born I have lived every day weighed down by an immense sense of guilt… It’s constantly nagging at me and wont bugger off. Stupid jerky guilt. (more…)
Recently I had “one of those days”. Or more so, “one of those weeks”. Actually now that I think about it, it actually occurred smack bang in the middle of “one of those months”. One of those months where I walked through each day questioning why I am here. Why Am I Here? What the hell is it all for?? How can I grab hold of my own happiness and live it? Sigh. I bloody wish I knew the answers, but at that time I was really just going through the motions of life feeling…well…lost. And the more that I pondered those questions, the louder they got and the more confused and lost I felt. (more…)
Hooray! Its my birthday! And to celebrate in style, I would like to present to you the extra special story of MY birth. Yep, me. Being born. Into this world. So, without further ado, here is the sixth instalment in our Real Birth Story Series! It was written by MY OWN lovely mother Cesarina and tells the story about my crazy (and very early) entry into this world. Things were pretty different 35 years ago. But I think I turned out relatively ok. Could have done with a smaller nose though. Sigh. So sit back, relax, and I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed living it, lol. xxxx (more…)
So, I almost punched my hairdresser the other day. On the morning of my appointment, I was wrenched awake at 5:15am by the howls of a baby calling for his doggy. Yep, you heard it. He wanted his doggy. Not his mummy, or his daddy, but his dog. The dog who quickly walks in the other direction whenever the baby comes towards him. Because no-one likes to be squealed at and head butted when you are trying to snooze, right??! Doggggyyyyyyyyyyyy! (more…)
