My Fairy Garden: Fairy Kitchen Garden Review #AD

March 7, 2019

My Fairy Garden: Fairy Kitchen Garden was sent to us in exchange for this blog post. All opinions remain my own. This post may contain advertisement and affiliate links.

My mum looks after Evie for a couple of hours every other Friday before she goes to her dads so it was a good chance for them to ... Read more

Felix at 5 Months

March 6, 2019

These five months really are flying past! Not too much has changed since Felix's last update at 4 months apart from him getting longer and heavier and now in his 6-9 month wardrobe.

Seperating From Your Child During School Holidays

February 20, 2019

One thing I think a lot of parents feel awkward after deciding to end the relationship is the split for the school holidays. On one hand if you are confidently co-paring and in partnership with your ex partner they can be managed really well, particularly if you're both working parents as neither one should have to take all of their holiday or foot the bill for holiday childcare (in theory).
