The One Where Vicky Goes on Telly

Last Sunday, my mum had S for me so that I could sort out some important things at home. I spent the whole day upstairs sorting through piles of junk, and just as S was due to come home, I popped onto the laptop to check my emails. As usual, Read more…

Why I Spoke About My Breakdown

  I went on national TV and talked about my breakdown. In the days following, I received numerous messages of support – from friends, from family members, from people I’d not seen for years or was only really vaguely acquainted with in the first place, and from perfect strangers. Comments Read more…

The Importance of Pets in a Happy Home

    Sometimes there is nothing quite like walking through your front door knowing that you have got the place to yourself. There is no one there to ask you ‘do you know where this is?’, no one slamming a door, no one shouting or screaming. Just you, your space, Read more…

What Happens When You Have a Breakdown?

  I make no secret of the fact I had a breakdown in 2010. I think it probably stuns a few people when I talk about it, but it was a year or more of my life; I can’t just pretend none of it happened. I think a lot of Read more…

Fancy a Cruise?

I’ve been chatting to a few people lately about holidays. I’ve not been on holiday since well before S was born, and I’m hoping next Summer we’ll be able to get away for a break. When I’m looking at holidays I like to browse around a lot – day dreaming, Read more…

Stop Telling Me What To Do!

  Parenting is probably the one thing in life where people aren’t really open to each other’s approaches. I mean, in theory, yes: we’re all different, we all raise our children slightly differently, and the world marches on. In practise though, if you’re doing something very differently to how I Read more…

Book Review: Toddlercalm

  I have written before about how much I love ToddlerCalm, so I thought it was about time I wrote a review. I have a real problem with parenting experts; I dislike people who expound the correct way of doing things, who tell you what you should be doing. I don’t take Read more…

Long Term vs Short Term Parenting

I’ve been thinking lately, about the difference between short term and long term parenting. Or really, short term and long term anything. I think once you become a parent you tend to start thinking about the long term. Now that there’s someone else to consider we often find that we’re thinking Read more…

The #OctoberLetters Project

  Some of you may recall that I gave up social media for Lent. And for September, I’ve been experimenting with cutting out sugar. I decided it might be fun to have a challenge for October too, so I asked around a bit. Someone on Facebook suggested that I write Read more…
