the moment a baby is born, a mother is too.
My names Harriet and I’m addicted to my phone. I try so hard not to be but there’s just something that I’m obsessed with. Is it the loneliness of motherhood creeping in, the feeling of escaping, or was it created so that everyone was obsessed with them? Maybe it’s all of them. I notice that... Continue Reading →
The world is a funny old place these days. There’s absolutely no margin for error. If you do something wrong, say something out of tone or call someone out then it’s all over the Internet forever.

I absolutely love planning little events. Getting out my notepad to plan the order of how to do things and check off my lists. 2020 was going to be our year. We have spent so many summers abroad so we thought that this year we would tour the family festivals and stay in the UK... Continue Reading →
