So grateful to share my real and raw experience of having my rainbow baby on @officialemmasdiary below is a little extract. ❤️Link in my stories ❤️One night with my husband, my face pushed into his shoulder and bellowing hot tears, leaking milk, hormonal sweats. I was a real-life dripping mess."Why is this so hard," I wailed. "I shouldn't feel like this."I had just given birth to my rainbow baby - or can I call it my 5th rainbow baby, after 5 losses he had been the baby we had been dreaming for, but here I was shamefully crying the truth.MY RAINBOW BABY JOURNEY HAD NOT FELT LIKE IT WAS FULL OF MAGIC, AND I WAS STILL FEELING THE GUILT.A rainbow baby is born after a miscarriage or infant loss. In my instance, I had 5 miscarriages back-to-back over two years.

Some days are all about being productive and livin

Some days are all about being productive and living your best life and then some days are...well just...Some days are more real. Some days, you scream at the kids when they trash the house for the tenth time that day, so loud so that the whole street hears and now know that you are a grade A psycho mum from hell. Some days you hold a family meeting trying to find out who broke Mums lovely wire writing that was kindly gifted by a friend and scream “ this is why I can’t have nice things!” (funnily enough, nobody’s admitting to it even after the threats of moving them outside to live in the shed)And some days you have a family sized bar of chocolate while hiding in the bathroom, just happy that everyone has survived the day. And those days are much more often and real than the days when it all falls into place.Outfit @scampanddude

Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside. - Cassandra Clare

AD| The 9th of February is Safer Internet Day, a globally celebrated event, which encourages all of those who use the internet and all those who have a stake in the future of children, to join together to make the internet a safer and better place.My top tip is teach children that they shouldn’t reveal anything about themselves online, such as passwords, the name of their school, or their home address.That’s why education products, like Apple School Manager, Schoolwork and Managed Apple IDs, have privacy features and controls built in. They don’t sell student information and they never share it with third parties. And they never track students or build profiles based on an email or web browsing.*This is a partnership with @Apple

They’ll be fine. They’re young. They’ll get over it. They won’t even remember. They just need to toughen up.” I have heard people refer to children like this many timesJust like an adult, children want to feel understood and validated. Establishing safe and loving routines is invaluable. They need that stability. There is hope. Remember that caregivers are the most important part in a child’s recovery.This week marks Child Mental Health Awareness Week- be proud of yourself and how hard you are working to provide and protect your child during this time.I just want to say...YOU ARE DOING AN AWESOME JOB! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Look at my happy little face...I’m smiling but I’m silently screaming inside.“No! Make it all f*cking stop. I can’t take any more. PLEASE NO MORE”This is the outwardly smiling but dying inside face of a bad motherf*cker who’s about to get thrown out of a P2 chat group for politely but determinedly arguing with...well, everyone. The face of a woman who loves a nice glass or six of something strong but who has had a banging headache after drinking just two glasses of any thing the night before. The face of a mother of a 3 year old boy who will just not stop. Believe me when I say that I’ve seen some children in my time but he takes the biscuit!His face when I told him “NO” for the 1,0000000’s time was...think Jack Nicholson as the joker.My smiling/twisted face knowing that schools definitely won’t be going back until at least sometime in March. WFH, Homeschooling, no contact with anyone you love or long to see..Repeat after me....“ I don’t know how to do this!”
