      sunshine & roses

      Parenting
      I found the post below in my drafts folder earlier this week. My own words surprised me, because right now it's all so different - Orla is in a 'sunshine child' phase, & we're skipping along pretty [...]

      stuff that works: toddlers

      Parenting
      Parenting a toddler is awesome. She is adventurous, hilarious - 'bubble poo', 'no please!' & 'cold toast' (bread!) - and endlessly affectionate. During my recent coughing fits, she drops whatever [...]

      Parenting: What I (un)learned in the first two years

      Parenting
      She is two; fiesty, messy haired, hilarious. She is a changling and a hurricane, a swirl of snot and sugar and soft, sticky kisses. She hears owls in almost everything - a squeaking tap, a squeal [...]

      cardboard toys

      Parenting
      Newest obsession: toys made from cardboard. Because they're simple, beautiful, storable and disposable. Recyclable, even! We're trying hard to live with less, but it's a struggle to let go - [...]

      more notes for my daughter

      Parenting
      Let her learn from my mistakes, please. Part one here. Be you. The world will adjust. Say no to the things you don't want to do - you don't need an excuse. Eat junk food while your [...]

      Steller app

      Parenting
      Have you discovered the Steller app yet? I'm a bit obsessed... It's a storytelling app that feels like a total game changer for all social media. Who wants a blog post when you can have a [...]

      all wrapped up

      Parenting
      A little ode to babywearing - one of the few parenting tips I offer to any new/expectant parents I meet. Not that I know all the answers, but because the stretchy sling I bought before Orla was [...]

      in Orla’s bag

      Parenting
      Not the ubiquitous 'what's in my bag' post (crushed baby crisps, used tissues & the same novel I've been reading for the last 7 months, of course!), but Orla's bag, a snapshot of her little [...]

      lions & fleabags

      Parenting
      My friend Helen writes & illustrates the most wonderful books for children. She's also one of my favourite people ever, a hugely inspirational mama and has a wardrobe full of Things I Want to [...]

      baby changing

      Parenting
      A strange sadness, to leave the house Orla knows so well. She's splashed in this bath since her very first week; she knows which wobbly floorboards to skip, as she leads my by the hand to bed. She [...]

      Imperfectly

      Parenting & Personal
      It's much too easy to let my blog & instagram slide into being part of the 'perfect life' myth - that idea that everyone else has everything great, & you're the only one dealing with the [...]

      mother’s day

      Parenting & Personal
      I found her under a gooseberry bush, which is a euphemism of course for a labour so painful I really-actually thought I was going to die. I did not find childbirth spiritual or beautiful. Instead, [...]
