Six years in the past I took a giant step and hit publish on the primary ever submit on this weblog. Six years on, tons has modified – from being pregnant to now having two kids who very a lot aren’t infants, to job strikes and home relocations and renovations. It’s six years which have seen me write an entire load of posts about an entire load of issues.
After which this week noticed the 1.5 millionth go to to my weblog, which is the sort of thought I might by no means have even dreamed of whereas I secretly hit publish in my workplace, 4 months pregnant, ‘pretending’ to do work and desperately in want of a nap.
Six years on and with that vital milestone, I believed it was time for a change. So it’s bye to the tube and bus which have served me in numerous guises over time and howdy to a stunning new emblem and look designed for me by the amazingly gifted artist and illustrator Laura who took colors and textures from my images and wove them into one thing rather more great than I’d imagined:
So when it comes to different modifications? I get requested so much if I’ll change the identify of my web site now I’ve two non-babies – so will I? Nicely, no! The identify was picked for child on board badges given to pregnant girls to be used on London’s public transport, however for me it all the time signified the beginning of the motherhood journey (and likewise, they are going to all the time be my infants…as will my weblog).
And in addition will I write about the identical factor? Nicely, as my weblog has grown so have my infants, and now they’re now older I don’t actually write a lot about them (particularly not now they’re sufficiently old to learn it, yikes). However I like writing about being pregnant and parenting, particularly the ups and downs and highs and woes. Individuals will all the time have infants, households will develop and evolve; it’s by no means not relevent or necessary. And I’ll nonetheless write about all the pieces referring to motherhood and household life, from trend for us all by means of to household journey, our home and London. In addition to random lists and all in regards to the ridiculous issues that occur to me, after all.
Due to everybody for coming alongside for the trip…you can too comply with me over on Instagram and YouTube channel, the place there’s tons extra coming shortly…and I’ll by no means not be in want of a nap.
