My last post about my struggle with anxiety was a hard one to write. It sat in my drafts for weeks and weeks before I plucked up the courage to post it. So I've decided to lighten things up a little with a jokey post. So Jack turns 3 months old in a week. Feels... Continue Reading →
Anxiety.
"Don't believe everything you think" Mental health is a funny thing in society. Just as you feel the stigma is being knocked down something happens that brings it right back up. I've seen a lot online lately about anxiety in particular being called a 'fad'. I can only assume it's because people are slowly feeling... Continue Reading →
Sequins, velvet and all things fun.
My name is Holly and I'm an shopping addict. It's always the same isn't it? You either go with lots of pennies in your bank and see nothing, or go just before payday and find everything you could ever want. My biggest guilty pleasure is online shopping. You can just settle down with a nice... Continue Reading →
My Birth Story.
I want to share my birth story with you all, you lucky bunch! I'm going to explain my birth in quite (mundane) detail because I always felt reading birth stories when I was pregnant helped me.

We certainly aren't stuck for choice. I'm not a one brand kinda gal, except for Clinique. That's my absolute... Continue Reading →
Baby massage.
Today has been a triumph! Jack and I managed to get out to our first baby class. Baby massage. We have been out the house heaps together but never really had to be somewhere for a certain time like today. If we go out as a family at the weekend it doesn't really matter if... Continue Reading →
Reflux, colic and extended baby blues.
The first few days with Jack were almost easy. Yeah, I was struggling with breastfeeding but all in all I thought we cracked it. I remember sitting one night while Jack was sound asleep with smug proudness. My baby fed (albeit not easily) and then slept on repeat. Oh, how I was wrong. It was... Continue Reading →
Happy Holly.
I’ve been completely overwhelmed with the amount of lovely comments and messages regarding my first post. I’ve had mums I’ve not spoken to in years, some from the other side of the world and ones I’m very close with telling me my story has helped them in some way or another. The sole purpose of...
