Hey

I’m Fay; a writer + illustrator from Birmingham, who currently resides in Bristol. I’m also a mom (that’s how we say it in Brum) of a 28-weeker, called Rex. We spent 10 weeks in NICU, and I’ve plenty to share about being a preemie mama. I write other people’s content for a living, so I felt like giving myself an outlet where I could discuss my own shiz.

I’m a pescatarian, cruelty-free skincare addict, with Type 1 diabetes and Graves’ disease. These do not limit what I can enjoy; they only affect the thought process beforehand.

Stick around if you fancy reading about my experience with motherhood, food + coffee, mental + physical health challenges, and what’s happening in my life. I also film YouTube videos and take plenty of pictures. I’ll try not to waffle on at you (I realise I have failed already. Mmm waffles).

I love a bunny emoji, peace x

Weekends are for strong prints on soft jersey, squishy squeezes, and plenty of snoozes ♥️

Due to unforeseen (annoying and shit) circumstances, we will be heading back to Brum for a little while. Moving is super stressful...however, Rex is ready for Brum times. And, I think there’s quite a few people who’ll be ready to meet him and enjoy a cuddle 🥰🐧😴 - You ready for us Birmingham? It’ll be good to be back* x - *(for a bit)

This little one has been so patient and gentle with Rex since he came home. She’s such a sensitive soul, and she is definitely not herself lately. We’re doing as much as we can to ensure she gets enough attention. But, of course, there have been massive changes. She gets confused when the tiny human starts screaming; she leaves the room regularly, and goes to sit somewhere quiet, on her own 😭💔 - She also enjoys saying hello to Rex by licking his toes and the back of his head - it’s too cute. When Rex is quiet, she’ll snuggle up as close as possible to us ♥️ I think she’s just adjusting to a new member of the pack, a very loud one! And, with those ears, I think it’s all been a bit intense. I always knew I’d have mom guilt, I just didn’t realise that it would be for both Rex and Cosy! I hope she knows how loved she is. Happy Friday everyone x

It’s been a while since I posted food! But, we’ve be frequenting @lacampagnuola for a while now, because the pasta is so good. So, I thought it was worth a mention, especially if you’re in Bristol any time soon (I’d travel quite far to come here). - The restaurant is cosy, with outdoor seats too - it’s family run, with old school Sicilian vibes, and has a succinct menu that will meet all your pasta/pizza needs. We absolutely love it. Here’s my pappardelle con porcini (and Aperol spritz) from Friday. We sat outside with Rex, and it was so nice to be out, enjoying a meal, with him in tow. Anyway, I highly recommend it here - food, service, and atmosphere are all brilliant. For me, it’s my ideal restaurant- for both cuisine and feels. It’s before 9 am, and I’m craving pasta and a spritz already...I guess this is motherhood ☺️x

Contentment and cake, such a dreamy feeling ✨☺️💫🍰 we are going through a lot as a family at the moment. But, we are making sure that we’re enjoying all the little moments together. - Sunday was so lovely- we went for a picnic in the park. I looked around, and it was British summer at its best, my parents were there - mom had made an epic picnic, dad was sat on a bench chatting away, my husband was playing with our gorgeous doggo, and Rex was bundled-up on the blanket in front of me, like a little baby burrito. And, I just felt so grateful. It was one of the many scenarios I’d always wanted, and it felt so good to be there. - Obviously, goals in life are great - they will, hopefully, help steer you in the right direction. However, it’s so important to enjoy what you can, along the way. Not much surrounding Sunday’s picnic was how I’d imagined, but it didn’t matter ♥️. Also, my mom makes the best Victoria sponge 🍰 so I couldn’t think of anything to frown about ☺️ x

How can something so tiny, turn your world upside down, but in the the most incredible and exhausting way?!😂♥️🌍 - He’s so little, but has so much character already. He is also the hangriest person I’ve ever met - and, this is coming from me! Every day is a magical and testing blur...and that’s where we’re all at, at the moment! Also, all this “sleep when he sleeps” is utter b*****ks! We’ve accepted that sleep is on a gap year now; we miss it a lot, and cannot wait for it to return (even if it has changed a bit)... x
