The boys did the @the_bear_trail this week … mud The boys did the @the_bear_trail this week … mud everywhere but great fun. It’s an assault course for all ages just off the M5 - 30 obstacles over 10 acres with a picnic area and wood fired pizzas 🍕 and coffees. We got the memo about bringing a spare change of clothes but no one told us that everyone in the Westcountry now owns a @dryrobe to warm up in afterwards. Thankfully there were hot showers so it didn’t matter 🐻 🐻 🐻 🐻 thanks @fionajvogel for another great suggestion
Mummy, what is happening in Ukraine? The events ar Mummy, what is happening in Ukraine? The events are difficult to understand, frightening and sad - but it’s essential that we have honest and open conversations with our children. Read our two pieces on age-appropriate ways to approach this difficult subject. On the site now. @mumfidential @savechildrenuk @lululuckockcounselling

Ever since finding out I was pregnant with Edgar, Ever since finding out I was pregnant with Edgar, then, a few weeks later, the first lockdown descending, I’ve steered away from reading anything sad, seeking out stories that are 100 per cent uplifting. After reading Sunset, however, I remember how life affirming and important it is to embrace darker subjects. Jessie Cave’s book, her first novel, is a poignant, funny and beautifully written account of grief and siblinghood and what it means to be ok. I loved it and mourned it deeply when I finished, immediately streaming her equally brilliant solo show, Sunrise, which she performed during lockdown (when she also wrote her novel and had her third baby). @jessiecave @sohotheatre

❤️ this from the amazing @effortlessparenting ❤️ this from the amazing @effortlessparenting “ As a child and family clinical psychologist, I always get asked if I have kids. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ For years, my answer was ""no"" or ""not yet.""And even though I didn't have my own children yet, I spent most of my time carrying deeply for my nieces, nephews, children I nannied for, the foster children I was a CASA for, and those I saw in therapy. But the truth is that every time I answered this question, my heart sank just a bit. For the love I knew I had to give. For the joy I KNEW my family could experience. After all, it was the one thing I knew I wanted to be more than anything else in the world. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Now, thanks to science, my answer is: I have a sweet baby girl on the way!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ The reality is that the journey to get here has felt long and arduous at times. And at every turn, I chose to find hope and surround myself with love and positivity. It was a time when I took all of the learning I had done and put it into practice in my own life. I got to experience first hand the power of psychological tools as a person not a psychologist! So, for those of you experiencing the emotional and sometimes gut-wrenching journey of creating your family, I see you. I've been there, and I'm here for you.”

Always so exciting to discover a new #cookbook Thi Always so exciting to discover a new #cookbook This one is AMAZING 🤩 The Little Growers Cookbook 🪴 It’s part gardening book, part cookbook, filled with cooking and outdoor activities for the family and delicious recipes. As you can see I homed straight in on the chocolate 🍰 but there are healthy things too such as pumpkin and courgette fritters and 10 veg soup 🍲.

I’ll never forget the gloomy weeks surrounding m I’ll never forget the gloomy weeks surrounding my first miscarriage. I was on bed rest for a week, in the hope that my twins might make it but they didn’t. Thankfully I had a compassionate boss, and I stayed at home to recover for a few days. Even so, when I returned to the office the following week I was a wreck. I could just about hold it together in front of my colleagues but the sense of loss was still so raw. It was all I could think about really. I felt let down by my body and struggled to think positively about the future. Great news from New Zealand, therefore, that mothers and their partners are being offered bereavement leave. Labour MP Ginny Andersen, who presented the bill, said it would allow parents to come to terms with their loss without being forced to use up their sick leave entitlements. “The grief that comes with miscarriage is not a sickness; it is a loss,” she said. “That loss takes time – time to recover physically and time to recover mentally; time to recover with a partner.” #miscarriage #miscarriageawareness #miscarriagesupport
