I guess things escalated…

I guess things escalated…

Oh hey! It's been a while. So, if you've been following me on Instagram; you'll already know that my baby boy arrived, early. Super early. Rex decided it was time to party at 28 weeks + 4 days. It was unexpected, and we've had a tough old road to navigate, ever since. However, he is [...]

So this post is going to be ridiculously long-winded, because I like to waffle, and I pour all my feelings out. All of them. Therefore, I've decided to split this topic into a couple, a few, or maybe more (lucky you) posts so that they don't take up too much of your time.  I have [...]

So, I was invited to an evening of whiskey (which can also be spelt whisky! I know, who knew? Well, Vicky did actually) tasting. I'm not drinking. "Don't worry! There'll be food, and some of the best company in Brum". I'm there. What food though? Where is it? Can I smell the whiskies instead? It's [...]

Hey hey hey! I’m Still Here. Just About…

So I thought I'd do an update on here (I almost said "super-quick update" but, lol) as it's been a while. Life is currently a bit overwhelming, so I kinda feel like I'm out of breath as I write this (imagine I'm on the phone, walking up a hill, but, the motivation of there being [...]

A Dreamy Date Night In Don Diego

Snuggled into a little row of shops in Edgbaston, opposite the White Swan Pub, sits Don Diego; a restaurant run by two brothers, serving up fresh homestyle food full of Mediterranean flavour. I visited on a Saturday night with my husband Marv; we were lucky enough to share a table and have a double date [...]

Bloody love tapas I do; an array of plates filled with different edibles? Yes please! And, I'm totally getting better at this "sharing" thing, and my instinct to shoo other hands away with the prongs of my fork is beginning to subside. So, when I was asked if I wanted to try the tapas menu [...]

Anxiety No.02: A Week In My Head

Anxiety No.02: A Week In My Head

So, I thought I’d document what I consider to be a bad week regarding my anxiety. It was actually a recent week, and it’s fresh in my mind, so I feel like you’ll get a thorough account of my thought process, behaviour, and coping mechanisms. I know that I said in my previous anxiety post [...]

Hey

profile picture with Rex

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
