Momma hangovers

Bollocks!

The dating game

So, I definitely never expected to be.... here.

Long term relationship, a child, it broke down. Marriage, another beautiful child, it broke down. Thought I found the love of my life - turned out he was a total chump.

Ode to My Baby

Thank you for the nights

The days we cried together
Mutual tiredness, exasperation, a journey every mother knows.

Warrior Parents

What is a label? Well according to the Oxford Dictionary, it's "a classifying phrase or name applied to a person or thing, especially one that is inaccurate or restrictive". True story bro.
