Philips Avent

As mentioned in our previous post “It’s an Avent Event” We were lucky to get a first glance at their new Philips Avent Natural Range.

Why We Blog

I’d love to be able to say that when we discovered we were pregnant, I turned to C and said, “Let’s blog our experiences and change the way the world views same sex parents” But that really isn’t how it happened. That’s not only Why We blog. I’ve had several blogs before. They were always [...]

Practical Parenting & Me

Practical Parenting Magazine

At the beginning of my pregnancy I discovered the joy of pregnancy magazines & I have been hooked ever since. At first they weren’t really any help to me as they only concentrated on women who were 12weeks+ & I think this is an area that needs to change. Women need more support in those [...]

Master Builder

These past few weeks have involved me holding a screw driver and hammer for large amounts of time. When I previously thought the nesting bug had bitten I was wrong. The nesting bug had just entered the room and was making that annoying sound mosquitoes make at 3am when ever you give up searching for [...]

Before you get pregnant you hear hundreds of stories about how women’s hormones are all over the place & how some have just burst into tears right in the middle if the supermarket because they don’t have the right brand of baked beans. I’ve always found these stories quite comical & brushed it off as [...]
