I've had a most indulgent week off over the festive period and am feeling refreshed, re-energized and very excited about the year ahead.

A big YAY to 2013.

It's been baby news central here, and I feel I must share the love.

Jeroen (my ace web designer), who without him all this would not have been possible, and his amazing wife Julie (who told me blogging was something I should most definitely do) have welcomed a baby girl, Rosalie,  into the world on New Years Day. Big congratulations to them.



Big news, no 2...my sister is pregnant with her 2nd. Yes, I know Miss Freya is only 8 months old, and she'll have two under 18 months. It'll be interesting!!! Due date early June.

A bit like Jessica Simpson's baby's age gap!

She's convinced it's a boy (no morning sickness this time), and she'll have had no alcohol for over 2 years!!! I never thought I'd see the day. I guessed over a Skype chat, but she was sneaky and denied all. Big sister knew...

And now we have Kanye and Kim. I couldn't leave them out!

And mustn't omit the Royal baby. Yay to Kate and Wills. I have my money on twins there!

Parenting comes in all shapes and sizes, as do the babies. It's an amazing journey, a few speed humps along the way but a lot of roads paved with gold.

So sit back and enjoy your babies/children, and I'm here for another year of parenting tips, thought-provoking topics and a bit of Hollywood parenting trash and treasure to add to the mix!
