Potty training

July 9, 2018July 9, 2018 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

I am starting to think about potting training again. I can tell that Fidget is getting ready to make this big boy step…and I want to help make it a smooth adjustment for him. I got lucky with Wriggler – he showed signs from about two years old, but actually neither of us were really … Continue reading Potty training

Bullying

April 25, 2018April 25, 2018 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

Hands up who has experienced bullying? At school? At work? In your friendship group maybe? It is scary how common it is and how it can impact your life immediately and then ripples out to later on. When I was a child at primary school and then as teenager, I was terribly bullied. I struggled … Continue reading Bullying

This has been a post that I have taken months to write. Me too. Two words that have been trending on the internet over the last year. Women standing up to say that they too have experienced some form of unwanted harassment. I think the number of women who can honestly say that they haven't … Continue reading Me too

Returning to work after maternity

March 20, 2018March 19, 2018 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

I was working at a senior level when I was pregnant with Wriggler. The pregnancy was actually straight forward and uncomplicated (bar a chorionic hematoma at eight weeks), but due to our earlier loss I was anxious while I carried Wriggler. The commute to the office wasn't great (those baby on board badges mean nothing … Continue reading Returning to work after maternity
