How to be a greener pet owner
Sponsored Post¦ We’re a nation of pet lovers; I have to admit I don’t know many people without one! According to the RSPCA, just half of us have one. There are many benefits of pet ownership. If you’ve followed my blog/social media for a while, you’ll be familiar with our cat Maisie. Like in many households across the country, we found she was very helpful to our mental health during lockdown. Of course, if you have a dog, they’re great for your physical health too! However, as great as pets are, they can really affect our impact on the environment.
Funny things my 3 year old says
One of my favourite blog posts of last year was when I wrote about the funny things my daughter said as a 2 year old. With her 4th birthday next week (eek!) it’s time to reflect on the things she’s said this year. She is absolutely hilarious and cracks me up every day. As such, it was tough to narrow it down!

Baby #2: Bump Pictures and Weeks 12-20
TW: Miscarriage¦ I’m now half way through my pregnancy and half way through the second trimester! Sadly, I don’t have the energy people told me I’d have once the first trimester passed. However, the good news is that I have found the energy to write about the first half of the 2nd trimester today. Bizarrely, I’ve been able to write it in one go, which is virtually unheard of these days (hooray!) So, here’s how it’s going, as well as some bump photos!

How to tell your child you’re pregnant following a miscarriage
TW: Miscarriage¦ Finding out I was pregnant a few months after a miscarriage was such a rollercoaster of emotions. It wasn’t long before I was wiped out with morning sickness and exhaustion and I knew I had to tell my 3 year old daughter why Mummy was feeling unwell. I didn’t want her to worry something was seriously wrong with me. However, I was worried about telling her I was having a baby in case I lost it again. Therefore, I had to give what I was going to tell her a little thought.

Baby #2: Bump pictures and the trials of my first trimester
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. I’d started writing about the first trimester with my second pregnancy, when it ended in miscarriage. This time round I’ve been cautious and perhaps a little superstitious. Nevertheless, the time has now come to reflect on those first 12 weeks and share them, along with some early bump pics!
