TW: Miscarriage¦ It feels a little odd writing this blog post now, as I’ve now reached 19 weeks! However, I didn’t dare to write it when I was in my first trimester.

Nevertheless, the time has now come to reflect on those first 12 weeks and share them, along with some early bump pics!

Is a Car Motability Scheme Right for You?

Teaching Kids About Potential Health Problems
Collaborative Post¦ Your children need to know about the world around them, and how they fit into it. And one of the main things they need to know about how life works is that they may run into health problems one day – they may need to see a doctor, or experience some worrying symptoms, and they need to know what to do about these.
Even as young children, they need to be encouraged to set some healthy and happy habits to keep potential health problems at bay, and as their parent, it’s up to you to set the example!
So, if you’re wondering how you’re going to broach the subject around their health, we’ve collected together some points below that should be able to help you. It’s important to give kids everything they need to lead a long and happy life, and those efforts start right here!

The only way to be sure it’s happening is if you as a parent participate as well. Here are a few ways to use walking as an approach to get involved in your kid’s exercise routine.
