As a mum there are loads of reasons why we lose our identity, I’m going to give tonnes of tips for working out who you are.
So ‘Little Dimples’ (I’m trying out new nicknames for my kids, as I’m getting a little superstitious about using their real names), turned 6 months last week and is now onto FOOD, yay!
