Three Gadgets for a Perfect Family Breakfast

Every Sunday, we have pancakes for breakfast. It has become an event that the children look forward to all week and often, when I go into their rooms in the morning, the first thing they ask is whether it is Sunday yet. On the one day a week when I can say yes, they are… Read More

A letter to my son’s nursery, as he leaves to go to school.

A letter to my son's nursery as he leaves

For the ladies in orange – I gave you my boy before I was ready. Before he could sit on his own, before he could crawl, before he could feed himself or say a word – I gave him to you. I gave up my baby, my first– a vulnerable little ball of wants and… Read More

To the parent of a newly diagnosed autistic child…

To the new autism mum who just wants someone to tell her that it will be okay

I think you know by now – no one can tell you what the future holds. No one can tell you that this path will be easy, that it will not be fraught with heartache and frustration. No one can tell you that this will all go away, that the child you love so fiercely… Read More
