Bio
I’m a mum to a toddler, just trying to get through the day. I like to write about the ups and downs of parenting. I’m not afraid to tell it like it is. I hope you’ll find something here to laugh, relate to, and maybe even learn from.

I Took My Toddler to the Zoo and All We Got Was a Cute Photo
Is it just me, or is going to the zoo always a massive disappointment? Having worked as a veterinary nurse for 13 years, I'm already not the biggest fan of zoos. Most of the animals are pacing in their enclosures, looking miserable. The entry fees are expensive, I hate navigating busy crowds, and the zoo is always in a location with impossible parking.
