I have grown some lady balls and booked to go to a blogging conference
One of my blogging goals for 2017 is to attend a blogging conference . To be honest I didn’t think I was going to complete this goal . Thankfully Faye from Glossytots had to same goal and we are going to embrace the scary world of blogging conference together . On the surface I may seem a pretty confident person .

I have worked in childcare now for around 6 years, but before that I helped at my dance school with the little ones, so I have had a lot to do with children.

What I think people forgot to think about is that I had never taken a child home, had to do night feeds, knowing when to up their milk or just generally looking after a…

Student, mom, career minded woman you can be it all
I remember when I started university I was adamant I was going to wait till I had finished the course to have children. I didn’t think I could be both a mom and a student ! How wrong I was but things happen for a reason right! As I had to have a C-section my return to university was a lot later than I wanted giving me 5 weeks to learn the subject area and write an assignment on it !!( stressed is the word).There has been times when I’m writing my assignment on a really good flow then Ava decides to have the biggest break down ever ( almost as if the…
