AD – We were sent these products from Balmonds for the purpose of this review. As always all words and opinions are 100% honest and 100% my own.

And although Little Miss H has mild eczema that she mostly gets in the winter months, Little Mister H suffers terribly with eczema. It is all over his body but…

Taking A Break From Blogging

A photograph of a mother, her son and her daughter at Smallhythe Place - Taking A Break From Blogging - Mrs H's favourite things

It has been less than a month since I last blogged. Although, it feels like longer. I’ve also missed opportunities when I would have normally blogged – World Mental Health Day and Baby Loss Awareness Week. I didn’t intend to take a break from blogging. It just happened. Yet, I’m not surprised it occurred. Taking A Break From Blogging Disillusioned With Blogging I’ve been blogging for over five years and during those years I’ve had many highs and lows. There…

You look for answers. Why did this heartbreaking event have to happen? How can I stop it happening again? You don’t care what the answer is. You just want someone to tell you why your baby has died. But when no answers come, you…

Jana Reinhardt Silver Wing Necklace – A Review – AD

A photograph of a Jana Reinhardt original silver wing necklace - a perfect gift for a baby loss mama - Silver Wing Necklace By Jana Reinhardt - A Review - Mrs H's favourite things

AD – I was sent the wing necklace by Jana Reinhardt for the purpose of this review. When we first lost our babies, I wasn’t able to emotionally process the idea of having a memento to remember them by. Some people plant a rose or a tree in their baby’s honour. But I just couldn’t do that. I needed to move on and grieve in my own way. However, those days are past and I now want to find a…
