I wanted to create a separate page for parenting articles.
The main motivation for doing this is that I struggled with unsolicited advice and people invading my personal space when I was pregnant.
Because of antenatal depression, I also struggled with the overwhelming amount of products on the market and the way advertisers can make you feel you must buy from them or your baby won’t be safe.
Following these experiences, I vow to only post what I believe is useful information, and trusted products we’ve used, and value. I wish someone could have sent me useful information during the dark days of my pregnancy.
You’ll also find real talk from me. Parenting is the hardest job I’ve ever done, but also the most rewarding. It’s a journey and the right kind of support can make all the difference.
