A local women’s charity/organisation is running a campaign trying to capture the full spectrum of motherhood from deciding to become a mother through to being a Grandparent. I wanted to join in because it was a good excuse to do some writing and sharing our stories is something I wish we did more. This is... Continue Reading →
I wanted to write down Carys' birth story a week or so ago but I have only just had the time to sit down and type... I will probably only have enough time for writing the introduction but I am going to try (full disclosure I was right, the majority of this was written when... Continue Reading →
