From a Mother to Another campaign with JoJo Maman Bébé

Posted on February 10, 2016

They play an essential role in ensuring that the world becomes a better place. A place where the vulnerable and disadvantaged in society are given the chance at a better life. I realise that I am blessed to live as I do and I believe that I have a social right and…

I recently read this fabulous baby wish list from the beautiful and bloomin' stunning Heledd at Running in Lavender. In this post, she mentioned her love for Baby Wearing. Which got me thinking about how much I loved wearing Little Miss H and how I miss it now that she flatly refuses to go anywhere near a carrier. Rainbow Bean is due in July. And one of the things I am looking forward to the most is baby wearing a newborn.…

Days Out In The Winter Sunshine – My Captured Moment

Posted on January 21, 2016

As a family we love going for days out. It is a chance for us to get out in the sunshine, absorb some Vitamin D and enjoy the sites of Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding area. It also allows us to spend quality time together. To laugh, to talk and to be a family. Mr H took some time off over Christmas. When the weather was nice, we packed up the car and went to parks, farms and on a hunt for…

Girls, get out of the storm!

Posted on January 16, 2016

Back in April 2015, when I was pregnant for the fifth time, Mr H had a dream. He dreamt that he parked the car up outside a house. In the back of the car, were Little Miss H and her younger sister. Overhead, a menacing storm was brewing. …

An A to Z of Little Miss H – part one

Posted on January 11, 2016

Little Miss H is almost 32 months old. Our darling girl has been an amazing , bubbly and cheeky presence in our lives for over two and a half years. I am in shock at how quickly the time has gone. It only seems like yesterday that I was cuddling our new born baby for the first time. Little Miss H has such a unique and beautiful personality. She is a confident little girl with a huge smile. She never fails to brighten…

My Captured Moment – Growing up too fast

Posted on August 14, 2015

I am thrilled to be back with another My Captured Moment post. I took this photograph last week. Little Miss H and I were sitting on the sofa having a snack and chilling. I glanced over at her and for a moment she took my breathe away. She looked so serene. So beautiful. And so grown up. …

Talking PANTS with the NSPCC’s Underwear Rule

Posted on August 12, 2015

I know that as a parent I can help to keep Little Miss H safe from abuse by talking to her about these threats. But I want to be able to talk to her without scaring her, without destroying her innocence and without taking away her belief that every new person she meets is a friend in the making. Thankfully the NSPCC have created the Underwear Rule to help parents, like myself, talk to our children about sexual abuse. It is…
