Five things to prepare for as your family grows

Thinking of having another child? I get asked this question a lot but more than that, I get asked what it’s like having three kids.

Here are just some of those challenges and how you can prepare for them.

Women’s Day: What we do and say as parents matters

It’s two days before International Women’s Day. I am sitting in a coffee shop, music blaring through my headphones, a half-eaten sandwich and a cup of cold brew with a dash of oat milk next to me. I dropped off my youngest at his grandparents because I wanted to spend some time writing before picking up my other two kids from school. Do you think this is something a man would have to do in order to get one hour of free time?

A little space all my own/ Where I work from

I wanted to show you a new little working space I carved out for myself in our living room. This post isn’t so much to show you how gorgeous it is and cosy and creative but more about how I just made it happen without too many expectations.
