It’s funny how you think that with the second child, you’d have it all figured out, only because you’ve been there and done it before. Meehhh. How wrong can you go? Again, new motherhood proves to be full of surprises and my value system has taken another kick in the backside, forcing it to gently […]
This is so me at the moment. Or as my brother Jay-Z says: that shit’s kray! Turn up the volume and shake your mummy booty…
Seven weeks into life as a mother of two, and I am back on my feet. Wobbly feet, maybe, but still.
They say the first cut is the deepest, and although I knew rejection would be very much part of the whole finding an agent palaver, I had no idea how I would stomach the words ‘thanks, but no thanks!’ Not very well, as it turned out.
