Hi pals! Well we've settled into the rhythm of Boston life and are thoroughly enjoying this excellent town. Jon is busy at the university, I'm busy wrangling the baby + a couple of writing contracts, and Molly's busy growing at a rate of knots. Look at how CUTE she...
A sore throat fix
For the past couple of days I've had a killer sore throat - like stabby little razors each time I swallow - and the edge of a cold. It's a pain; particularly as we're away from our new home for the week, which means I don't have any of my usual remedies on hand. I'm...
Three years. Three months.

Hello, Molly
Three weeks ago, in the early hours of the morning, one of the most magical things happened to me. I had a baby! A beautiful, chubby, instantly-adored girl. She is definitely my best work to date, with the smoothest skin of any newborn I've had the good fortune to...

Let’s talk about: maternity pads
Last year I wrote a post on why we should talk about tampons: what we're using, what's in it and how this can affect our health. It's an important topic, as most of us will use tampons and/or pads every month that we menstruate, for decades of our life. Now, however,...
