While being a new mom is one of the most exciting changes you can experience, it can also be difficult to adjust. So, here are some fashion tips to help you look and feel great in motherhood.

My thoughts on Autumn starting nursery
Time has seemed to elapse in a really strange way since becoming a parent. Sure, those early days (or rather nights) often felt so long, but the years have gone so quickly. I can’t believe I have a 3 year old! It seems almost impossible that that little bundle has turned into a proper person who talks and has her own little personality in such a short period of time. Now, next week my baby is off to nursery and I have a whole mixture of emotions!
3 alternative party ideas for the Tween in your life
Collaborative Post¦ It seems like only yesterday you were bringing them home from the hospital in their car seat, watching them take their first steps and waving them off on their first day of school. But now, you’re living with a precocious preteen and you’re wondering where your little girl has gone.
As a parent, getting a preteens birthday party right isn’t easy: you’re the parent of a tween who seemingly acts like a teenager but is definitely still a child… and yet they’re far too grown up for a traditional birthday party, but still far too young to be left unsupervised. As a parent, it’s difficult to get it right – it’s a proverbial minefield!
If you already have some gifts in mind – click here for 10 year old gifts for a girl if you need a little inspiration – then that will certainly relieve some of the pressure you’re under. But what kind of party has just the right level of adult involvement and yet at the same time, makes them and their friends feel like the grownups they want to be? Read on for 3 alternative party ideas for the tween in your life.

Miscarriage: the thing I hoped would never happen
***Trigger Warning – Miscarriage*** I’ve felt the need to write this post for a couple of weeks now. I’ve tried a couple of times, but it’s always so difficult to start. Perhaps this will be the time I start typing and don’t falter over my words, only to delete them all again. It’s been just over a month now since our miscarriage at 5 weeks. I want to write about it, with the hope that it will help to heal me in the way that writing has helped me so many times before. Hopefully it will also serve as a comfort and reminder to others that they aren’t alone. Not everyone talks about it, but so many have suffered this.
