Good maternity clothing isn’t the easiest to find. While many of the highstreet fashion stores carry maternity lines, they’re typically quite limited, and I’ll admit I’ve not had the best of luck finding exactly what I want. Being a winter mummy-to-be means that I not only […]
My maternity journey is proving to be the most transformative season of my life, right after puberty. If not only for the scarily impending responsibility motherhood will soon heap onto my shoulders, but the constant daily change I’m seeing in my body as I head toward that goal. […]
Now my regular lingerie is well and truly put to bed, my quest for the most amazing maternity bra remains at large. I can count on one hand my new found favourites but a couple of bras aren’t going to see me through my entire pregnancy […]

After a tense few months of anxiety and nausea, earlier this week I was finally able to share some exciting news – I’m pregnant! If you’ve been following the blog for a while you’ll know why I’d be nervous this time around, when a year […]
