NAVIGATING PARENTHOOD SINCE 2011
One day of chaos at a time

It is day 8 of #blogtober18 and I hope you aren’t bored of me yet as there are still quite a few days to go! Today sees the start of #librariesweek and so the theme today is hearing them read. Now to me the process of a child learning to read is both amazing and […]

Day 5 of #Blogtober is all about education on #worldteachersday So I thought I would share my review of the Read with Phonics App. We were gifted a subscription to the Read with Phonics app in return for trialing the product and writing an honest review. We have been using the app for a couple […]
Today for #Blogtober18 the theme is dittty as it is #Nationalpoetryday and for us it is also the day that the twins start nursery. The thought of this day kept me going during the toughest times of 4 under 4. I knew it wouldn’t last forever and at that point I needed to know that. […]
Next week we will celebrate 10 years of marriage. A ten years that has seen us move house, change jobs, get pets, have four children, spend a small fortune on updating our lovely wreck of a house and so much more. Our lives our unrecognizable from the ones we had before we got all dressed […]
