    A Waste Free Week

    January 18, 2018 /

    Every month this year I’ll be focussing in reducing the waste produced by my household. Between Blue Planet 2, the Latte Levy and plastic free aisles in supermarkets it feels like everyone in the UK is waking up to waste.  I decided to start the year by tackling our food waste. I’d be embarrassed to admit how many half used food items are thrown out in my house at the end of every week. It had become something I felt I couldn’t control and a fairly large source of anxiety and guilt for me. Taking the bull by the horns (as opposed to just shutting the fridge door and Parenting…

    July 20, 2017 /

    The long months of pregnancy give you plenty of time to prepare for motherhood, right? You know what’s coming; sleepless nights, toxic nappies, rounds and rounds of bottles and unimaginable love that makes it all worthwhile. But that’s not all that’s coming – motherhood comes with a heavy load! My Two AM Companion Another companion arrives with your newborn. This companion comes to stay whenever it likes and is very hard to evict. It is the Whisperer. It whispers in your ear constantly; tales of woe, worst case scenarios, dreadful doubts.
