Collaborative Post¦ When you are a young family, you might make do with just the one car for a very long time. Even if both parents are working, there might be a way for one of you to take public transport, or your working hours might even allow you to carpool together or alternate car usage.

Being a Mum is a hard job, whether you stay at home or go to work. Regardless of how many children you have, there are so many plates to keep spinning. This, of course, is all while responding to the constant calls of “Mummy!” If I’m not washing, I’m making food. If I’m not making food, I’m stopping my little stuntwoman from doing something dangerous! There is just always so much to do. As such, if you’re anything like me, self-care often falls to the wayside. Therefore, myself and some other UK bloggers have teamed up to give you the chance to win a fantastic bundle of goodies this Mother’s Day which is worth £200. From prizes such as a beautifully versatile silk wrap, to a puzzle and beauty treats, they have been carefully put together. Hopefully, these will help to give you the “me-time” and pampering that you deserve!

We put them first in everything, making sure that their health and wellbeing is considered beyond everything and everyone else.

When a trauma occurs and they can’t talk about it, they often act out and retaliate in fear, not understanding the emotions that they are feeling or how they should respond.
*** Trigger warning – Miscarriage ***At the beginning of December, I suffered a miscarriage. It’s been difficult to come to terms with and, in all honesty, I’m still suffering. We were fortunate to have a lot of support from family and friends. However, there was still the odd comment that was unhelpful, even when it was meant well. It can be difficult to know what to say to someone, though. As such, along with some blogging friends, I’ve put together some of the things people have said to us after a miscarriage that haven’t been helpful.
