Two New Bundles of Joy
When I announced back in August last year that I was expecting twins, I fully expected to blog right through my pregnancy. However I ended up suffering from a number of complications and was on bed rest a lot of the time, but I also felt that I didn’t want to jinx myself further by … read more >
What is the First 1000 Days?
1000 days. Doesn’t sound like an awful lot does it? But the fact is that the first 1000 days of your little one’s life are a uniquely special time that can have a very real influence on how they develop, grow and learn — not just now, but for his or her whole life. Watch … read more >

But hose me down at 7pm and by 7am I’m looking at my love handles, marvelling at how much nicer they look when they’re the colour of chocolate.
Returning to Work
So it’s 8.30pm on day 3 of my first week back at work. The best day so far.
The best (and messiest) days of our lives…
“They’re the best days of your life aren’t they?” Said the stranger in Faro airport.
