Here we are at the end of December and not only that but the end of another of the fastest years ever. Every year at this time, on this exact day in fact it’s the same thing, the same amazing feeling.

Life After Baby Loss
This week was baby loss awareness week and if you have read my blog before or follow me on social media you will know we have our own story of loss which I have talked about a bit over the years. This is why I think that although this week is a really tough one for me as well as so many others. Seemingly bringing all the pain and grief to the surface once again and making me think about our baby and a life that we will never know. Whilst that is extremely hard, I also know that it is important and by talking about losses and all the individual stories surrounding us everywhere we look if we just take the time to see them, it makes people feel less alone and hopefully more able to share their stories with the world, no matter how heartbreaking or taboo.
A Sports Day Themed Un-Birthday Party
For the past few years I have been saying that I would throw an ‘un birthday’ party for the girls in the summer. Basically Eva’s birthday is 5 days after Christmas and Roma’s just 4 weeks after that (great planning I know) so the organisation of parties at that time of year is complicated, stressful and somewhat expensive too. There is definitely more planning required, less choice and lets face it its just a little bit rubbish for them and for me.
