The twins are four!

At the beginning of February the twins turned four! I know everyone says it, but I can’t quite believe how fast it’s gone since they were born. I remember it like it was yesterday and yet in September my two babies will actually be starting school! I had booked the…

The parenting rollercoaster – stop the ride I …

As a mum of three, including 3 year-old twins, I often get asked “How do you do it?”. If I’m brutally honest, somedays I really don’t know! Recently I’ve been finding this whole parenting lark hard. Really hard. All three of our children seem to waking up before 6am, particularly…

The hospital scan and telling work

The day we found out

We’d decided to have a private scan at 10 1/2 weeks. I’m a natural worrier so thought it would help put my mind at rest that everything was okay. Plus, we’d had an early scan with Oscar and it was such a lovely experience. So, there I am nervously lying…
