Books to buy a new parent
With each of my babies, I’ve read during feeds. Doomscrolling quickly gets boring. Seeing people living life when yours feels so incredibly different from before, is tough, too. So this got me thinking, what book that I’ve read would I gift a new parent, or which one would I recommend you read as a new…

Things my final baby has taught me
I’ve had a few friends have their first babies recently. It’s got me thinking about what I’ve learned over three babies in five years. I’d never like to preach, I think it’s good we work things out and find our own groove, but there are things I know now, that I’d have liked to understand…

I’ve been reading in the night during feeding. This means I’ve needed something easy, but also something that holds my attention. Easy reads don’t have to mean trashy or simple.

Sleep is a huge topic in my world. I have three children. One has always had a low sleep need, the other very high. We’ve not figured out what the baby will be yet. When you’re pregnant, people say things like, get as much sleep as you can now, because you won’t be getting it…
