Or as I prefer to call it, fucking online dating. I’m back in the hell hole that is swiping, profiles and dickpics. Actually, to be fair I’ve never received an unsolicited dickpic.

My Writing In Review: 2018

When Your Baby Becomes A Toddler
When your baby becomes a toddler it takes some serious adjustment. My baby became a toddler a little while ago, it’s just taken me a while to out what its all about! These are some of the changes I’ve been trying to get used to. 1. Sleep goes out the window. Yes I know i’s meant…
10 Reasons Why I Have a Genius Toddler
I read a blog the other day by someone whose baby is a genius. Like, no shit, their baby is a real live genius and they decided to tell the whole world about it. So it got me thinking, perhaps I’m overlooking my child’s geniusness (is that a word??). And sure enough I was right.…
The Dating Game
It’s that time of year again, love and romance is all around. So I thought I’d share with you my recent dating journey. I say journey; it’s more like an old, clapped out car, stalling as it tries to get up a hill. I’m internet dating (is there any other kind of dating for single mums…
