As I write this latest blog I am sitting on an aeroplane on a Saturday on the way to Frankfurt in Germany for work. I have pretty mixed feelings and emotions about this trip, but as Sheryl Sanberg of Lean In says: “don’t leave before you leave.” This is a great opportunity for me on […]
Last week both Baby O and I took a dive. His leap was, thank goodness, rather lower than mine. Baby O fell off the bed. I didn’t ever think I would be one of “those mums.” I am more ashamed of my pre-judgement compared to what actually happened. I was kidding myself that I would […]
This blog isn’t about being a working mum, but something I have been meaning to write about for a while. I have been pregnant twice, but only have one baby. I was reading a blog the other day that referred to ectopic pregnancies as being taboo. After suffering from an ectopic in 2011 I was horrified that it was classed […]
Last weekend myself, Baby O and Husband S stayed at Abu Dhabi’s 5* Hyatt Capital Gate Hotel. You may have heard of it. It’s renowned for it’s incredible lean of 18 degrees – it’s actually in the Guinness Book of World Records for it’s record lean! I am a firm believer in working hard and […]

It does however talk about the real side of pregnancy and those “niceties” that occur after having a baby. It’s the stuff that the books seem to […]
This is just a quick blog about the top five things I have noticed now I’m a mum. It’ll probably keep expanding as I experience and observe more things! Clothes shops are not pram friendly This must mean they’re also not wheelchair friendly either. You can’t walk down all the clothes aisles and lots of […]
Last Friday I had my first “social” night out since being pregnant and having the baby… yes it’s been 11 months since I’ve enjoyed a tipple! A small group of us went to see the opening act at the Abu Dhabi F1: the legendary pop princess that is Kylie Minogue. Here’s the things I noticed: […]
So yesterday I went off with the girls and treated myself to a massage and pool day. I really needed some R&R! The baby is just over seven weeks now, and this was the first time I left him for the day with daddy! As I was driving from our villa to the hotel I […]
