Stay at home Mum

10th August 2019

If anyone asks I either say I’m still on maternity leave or that I’m a stay at home Mum. I was completing a form recently and the option Homemaker was there. Is that what I am? Technically yes. I make home. I raise my son. It’s a lot nicer word than unemployed but that’s what I am. I handed my notice in during maternity leave with the naivety/hope (delete as appropriate) of finding a new role before May. What’s that, August already? Damn, that

Nine Months of Lovin’

18th June 2019

It’s bizarre to think of a life without Quinn. I know that for 28 years I had a life as Rebecca, but now it feels like I’ve been Mummy forever. As Quinn turns nine months old I thought I’d write a post on how he is, moments he’s made me proud and just an excuse to write since it’s been so long! My lovely friend Chloe Woodcock has built this blog for me so now I have a domain and hopefully improve my blogging
