This is the third time we are celebrating a first birthday in our house, and with each one I have learned what gifts work and what don't. They don't need much at this age, I mean they're happy enough playing with a wooden spoon and a pan aren't they? But if you can get them gifts that will last them...

Whether it’s been a few weeks, a few months, or even longer—taking time off exercise happens. Maybe you've had a baby, had a hard patch in your pregnancy, but also sometimes life just gets busy, kids get sick, work piles up and exercise takes a back seat. But now you’re ready to get back into it ...

I decided to get the help of a post natal doula after having my third baby and it was the best decision I could have made for our family. 

I know that so many people, I was one of them, have no idea that there even is such a thing as a post natal doula let alone what they can do for you so I wan...

Every time I talk to a parent about weaning I get a different reaction, and I get it,I have had 3 very different experiences of weaning so far and they all come with so many emotions. 

I wanted to talk you through my experiences in the hope that it might help you feel reassured and maybe give yo...

Right, this is a bit of a pep talk that I often give clients, or friends who are struggling to find the motivation to exercise and they say it always helps so I wanted to share it with all of you in case it is what you needed to hear today too. 

No one is motivated all the time. Absolutely no on...

Returning to exercise after giving birth is a unique journey for every new mother. As someone who is currently 11 weeks postnatal and started exercising again at 8.5 weeks, I can attest to the importance of listening to your body and mind before jumping back into a fitness routine. With three childr...

Hello, sorry for the radio silence on the blog. I've been a little busy with Darcy, she's now 2 months and I'm just beginning the post natal plan. 

I have been stuggling with some fairly severe upper body muscle ache. If you are also struggling with aches and pains due to strange feeding positio...

I had been warned that third babies can often be quite unpredictable when it comes to labour and that it can be quite stop and start. This was exactly the case for me. I had been having contractions and cramps on and off for just over two weeks so I was pretty exhausted and fed up by the time I reac...

I am bang on 39 weeks pregnant now and boy am I feeling it. I was totally full on energy until two weeks ago and all of a sudden I feel slow, I feel heavy and just very very pregnant. 

It’s a funny stage this last few weeks of pregnancy isn’t it? It’s a real guessing game and as much as I hav...
