Before children you are solely responsible for yourself. It’s just you yourself and well… sleep. What happens next is your own story to tell, but mine included Mike and his dreamy eyes, and what felt like a biological urgency to pro create before I was ‘too old’. ‘Too old’ in a concept lost on me…

Having mixed feelings after finding out you are pregnant?
It was November 2012, Mike and I had been married for 6 short months and for some reason we were desperate to start a family. Regardless of the fact that I was only 2 months into starting my uni course and only moving house 9 months ago! We were young, in love and….. well lets face…

Baby Bjorn: The one!
It’s no secret I am an advocate for baby wearing. Keeping your baby close during the first 6 months of their life is essential in developing that secure attachment and bond that will ensure your child feels loved and safe.

OptiBac Probiotics: Gut love
I started using OptiBac Probiotics 3 years ago, after a dreadful breakout of adult acne. I have never really had spots (apart from the odd one) but after a stressful return to work after maternity leave and my face showed the stress. For anyone who doesn’t know of Caroline Hirons, then you HAVE to go…
Less whale, more dolphin like.
Are you feeling like you are the size of a whale, with heartburn that could rival a dragons fiery breath? Well, you are in the prime of pregnancy ‘glow’. Congratulations, you are sweating for England and possibly have two flippers at the ends of your legs that once resembled feet. Don’t be dismayed, you may…
