11 lessons we learnt about parenthood in 2021
Wow. What a year it’s been. Again. I remember sitting down at this same point last year and thinking back over the year that was.

When will your baby’s eyes change colour?
Obsessed with staring into your baby’s baby blues? Or dreaming of passing down your partner’s emerald green sparklers? Or hoping your siblings all get to share the same gorgeous honey-hue?

Reflections of a pumping mama (and what I learnt the second time around)

How many of us have let our little ones win to make them feel good about themselves? Or just to avoid a major meltdown? Guilty! But it turns out that’s actually not doing them any favours in the long run. Because losing (or losing gracefully) takes practice and children need a safe environment in which to learn.
