Where has the time gone??!! It’s been months since my last post (shameful excuse for a blogger, I am) but it hasn’t been all lying around watching series. I have, in fact, (drumroll please…) started my own business! Let me introduce you to my little labour of love (and sweat and tears and really reeeaallyy dry hands), Calico Ceramics!

Happy Mother’s Day beautiful mama’s! Well hasn’t it just been an age since I last wrote a blog post?! SO much has been going on in my life since giving birth, which I will go into here, that I needed a lot of much-needed me-time to heal and get through it. The beginning of motherhood is no cake walk for anyone, but I dare to say mine has been a tad more difficult than most, so hopefully you’ll forgive me my long sabbatical… Basically everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong. Here, at long last and befitting on my first ever Mother’s Day, is my beautiful, harrowing, life-changing (and very long) birth story:

Some of you may know by now that for the past 6 months I’ve been battling with Hyperemesis Gravidarum, or HG.

Here is the story I share with many women who have HG and are silenced by lack of understanding – thank you for taking the time to read this rather long post:

So I know it’s been a long, looong, LONG time since I last posted, and I promise I have a valid excuse reason. We have some exciting news to share! I’m pregnant! I’m having a little baby girl :) I know that doesn’t sound like a valid reason for being absent for a hundred years, and pregnant women are still able to do things like be a normal human, but hear me out…

Today is our first wedding anniversary. I suppose it’s time I told this happy/sad story here, despite the fact that I’ve tried exclusively to keep this blog my ‘happy place’. In doing so though, I’ve found much of what I say can be aseptic and without the backbone of truth that goes behind every word. So forgive the heavy topic today, but I’d rather you knew me as I really am.
