So, I went back for more and I am glad we are getting something from it. This week was all about birth preferences, letting the midwives know your dreams and desires (there are way more than I thought!) and what role the birth partner can play on the big day. Talking of midwives, I am super lucky as my community midwife is a huge advocate of[...]

Whatever type of birth you are opting for, you want it to be calm, positive and safe, right? That’s why I decided to enroll myself and Joss on a hypnobirthing course. Now, we all know that baby has to arrive. We have all heard the stories, watched one born every minute and closed our legs a little tighter when we think about that head crowning. A[...]
So now I am feeling a little more like a human (whilst growing a human) I feel like it’s time to get my blogging mojo back. I have been really struggling over the Summer to get motivation for anything, let alone trying to keep up with the blogosphere.

So when I found out my friends Hen Party was going to be in Nice, with a whistle stop tour of Monaco, how could I say no? Nice was every bit as beautiful as I had imagi[...]
Many of us will have been there, the tug of war between travelling the world and building a career. We really can’t have it all, we think. I was lucky in a way as my decision was made for me. I have never been very good at saving and leaving University with a ton of debt meant that I couldn’t afford to swan off with a backpack so I chose to build[...]
The wedding venue is one of the hardest things to pick for your wedding. How big? How much? How far? So many questions. But the one thing you must remember is that your venue should reflect you and your partner and everything you want from your day. One venue that is full of character and could easily reflect the quirky yet classic style of an[...]
Today marks one year since I bit the bullet and released Spinkdot into the blogosphere and what an exciting year it has been. I have always enjoyed writing, I used to write short stories when I was younger and I studied Journalism at University, so a career with words always made sense to me, but blogging just always seemed scary. I started a blog whilst[...]
