This phrase used to scare me! I just couldn’t believe and understand how it could work. As a first time mum with my daughter, I had to rock her to sleep. That was the only way I knew how. My husband tried to convince me to let her sleep on her own but I just… Continue reading Sleep training Twins

Here I am sitting in the dark in the kids’ room, feeling so tired after having a very long day of cooking. Where is my Michelin star chef when I need him? Oh right, he’s on holiday. The boys have grown. They are men now, I kid you not. I can’t keep up with them.… Continue reading 18-month update
