Emma’s Diary Feature: We Aren’t Doing Elf On The Shelf Or Christmas Eve Boxes – Here’s Why…
Partnering with Emma’s Diary has helped me reach so many prospective parents, newborn mums and toddler handlers. Working with this platform is one of my proudest writing achievements and I love having the opportunity to tackle controversial subjects. Today’s blog post has already received LOTS of comments and arguments, but it’s a subject I think we need to tackle. ‘Tis the season to be festive… but it’s also the season for a bit of one-upmanship and social media bragging.

Emma’s Diary Feature – Why I Love NCT So Much!
The day that I found out I was pregnant, I knew instantly that I wanted to do some kind of mummy/daddy/baby classes and I knew that making new friends was super important to me. My gorgeous baby Jack was born in February and on the run up to his birth, my husband and I joined a local NCT class.
