ALL POSTS BY: Stacey

I’m Stacey, a bookworm (or should that be dragon?!) from a quaint hamlet on the outskirts of Lincolnshire. In my late 30s, I’m a devoted mum to two wonderful boys who are both autistic—a unique aspect that makes them different, not less. I also share my home with my husband and Barney, my lovable Frenchie x Beagle.

A year of blogging

It has been just over a year since I made my first blog post – 5th January 2011. In that year I’ve had many ups & downs, most of them recorded on here and I’m thankful to my readers and friends for being there to support me through it, and for supporting my blog. I hope to get a few more this year.  If it wasn’t for Kylie over at Not Even a Bag of Sugar, I’m not sure I would have ever started blogging – I would probably have just continued releasing all my stresses to her – which I …

Hospital/baby bag

So, I’ve come to the point where I’m thinking it’s time to pack my hospital bag. I’ve acquired some lists from the forum I’m on and some sites on the web, and compiled my own, choosing items from these. Some of the items probably won’t go in, in the end, but they’re on there just in case! Some of the items from the other lists I totally missed off as I thought they were a bit silly! (And some of those currently on the list probably are too!)  I know I may not be in there for long, but on …

30 weeks (and a bump pic)

So New Year’s Day saw me reaching 30 weeks – 10 weeks to go, eek! It really is flying by now, and I’ve started making lists – hospital bag, baby bag, what we have, what we still need, etc… We actually have quite a bit already and I don’t think we need much more! The one major thing we do need soon though is a pram, but we’re going looking on hubby’s next day off. We already have two in mind but want to look at some more before making a final decision.  New Year’s Day (30 weeks) was quite …

New Years Resolutions

Well, here it is finally, 2012. Wishing all of my readers a Happy New Year!  I don’t usually tend to make resolutions, as I don’t tend to stick to them (oops). But I have a few for this year, so here goes… (I’ll post at the end of the year to tell you I’ve stuck to them! Or not, as the case might be…)  To concentrate more on blogging. I want to make sure I blog at least 3 times a week, which will work out at every other day at least. I also want to get more involved with …

Reflections on the year that was 2011

So, here it is, 2011 is finally coming to an end. I have to say it has been a year of a huge mixture of emotions, ups & downs, highs & lows for me. But all of these have made me a stronger person. I also want to thank my amazing friends for me getting me through the hardest of times, I will be forever grateful. So follows a (not so, now I’ve read it back) brief run down and reflections on the year that was 2011… January was the month I started blogging about my experience/s, and I’m extremely …
