Diary of a Disabled Mum: Out and about
As a disabled mum, getting out and about has its challenges but I’m building my independence and confidence.
Diary of a Disabled Mum: Travels & Tantrums
There are extra challenges attached to being a disabled parent and there is very little specialist information and support out there for those in my position. I hope by sharing my stories, other disabled parents might not feel alone.
#QuestionMarkWhereYouPark Update
As part of my #QuestionMarkWhereYouPark Campaign, I recently wrote to my MP, Nicola Richards, to ask her to support the campaign and consider raising it in Parliament. Though it took her a little while to respond, Nicola seemed sympathetic and supportive of the issues I had raised.

Challenges of a Disabled Mum: Hubby returns to work
For the past year, hubby has been off work to help me with our little lad Niall who was born last April. He did the same when we had Jack and having that support has been brilliant.

Challenges of a Disabled Mum: The School Run
How the time flies! It doesn’t seem five minutes since I was breastfeeding and watching my little boy learning to walk. Now, he’s just started school and I’m just like any other mum doing the school run every day. Well, not quite.

Challenges of a Disabled Mum: Capturing Memories
It’s something most parents don’t even think about. Quickly grabbing the camera to capture your child’s first of something is what every parent has done at some point.
