Rice Cakes and Raisins is a parenting and lifestyle website. The idea was first born after the birth of my second-child, when I began to have faith that after all the worry, self-doubt and guilt that can come from being a first-time parent, that really, I'd been doing just fine.
I wanted others to know that it's OK to just be you, to not have parenting and adult life completely figured out, that it's OK to sometimes be a bit rubbish at it, to want to scream into the abyss one minute and at the next, squeeze them to pieces because they've been so cute you might die.
My journey here hasn't been entirely smooth sailing; our first pregnancy wasn't to be and the pain and sadness of this time still creeps up on me when I'm not expecting it. I hope that by raising awareness of miscarriage in this blog, I can be of some support and comfort for others who have experienced this. We now have three beautiful boys and for that we are so blessed. Life now is very busy; it's varied and chaotic, but ultimately happy!
I called this website Rice cakes and Raisins because if there was any one product that summed up being a mum for me, it's rice cakes and bloomin' raisins (wipes too- but that didn't have such a good ring).
The website has since evolved into a home and lifestyle site. A place where you can discover travel destinations, parenting hacks, lifestyle advice and home and garden tips!
