A blog by a witchy book lover that loves to rant about politics and diet culture
I have always had big boobs. Always. From about the age of ten. It's been a huge burden, something I've been bullied about, teased and sexualised because of from a young age. My bust size has made me self conscious, it's affected my ability and confidence to breast feed and it's made bra shopping an absolute nightmare. I have never liked my boobs. Clothes shopping has always been hard and I've only been measured three times, once during pregnancy, and I think only once was it ... Read more

My baby boy is nine months old already. Time is absolutely flying by and his 8 to 9 month of life has brought plenty of changes. He now has his first two teeth and his top two are just there moving down about to break through. We can see them pretty clearly but they haven't cut through the gum yet. We have had our first holiday as a family of four where Felix enjoyed ice cream, the sand, the sea, bubbles and swimming. He was constantly crawling and cruising around the caravan ... Read more
