I was 34 when I had N. Before then I didn’t think I wanted children, but then realised that I’d regret not trying and that there probably wouldn’t ever be a perfect time to know when you wanted children. Thankfully…
This is a collaborative post Soon-to-be parents are often faced with lots of decision making when preparing for the arrival of their little one. Most of these decisions are made based on what works for them or what they’ve known…
I have just seen the funniest thing…not really good when you’re trying to have quiet downtime before bed. N’s now at the ‘do what you get told to do’ stage in terms of putting things away and trying to do…
