Hi! I'm Hannah, a 30-year-old wife to Phil and Mummy to Toby - born July 2014, and Martha - born May 2016.
I love music, reading, travelling and my gorgeous life with Phil, Toby and Martha in the countryside. We live in a cottage with our cat Ivy and the sounds of hundreds of birds overhead.
From bump, to baby and beyond... Celebrating my little family as it blossoms and grows

Brilliant post lovely. I agree with every word. As you know, I try to be as real as I can be. Because it helps me but also I don’t want other people to struggle in silence. Thanks for featuring me. I love you loads. Lucy xxxx

I love how much you are talking about and raising awareness for mental health Hannah. Maybe we should start doing flatlays with our meds???

This is a brilliant post, Hannah. It is all so completely true, and I found myself nodding along as I read the part where you said that we hide parts of our lives that are dark for fear of upsetting friends and family and ‘over-sharing’ etc. This is a big part of why I don’t post online very often anymore. I struggle with depression and anxiety on a daily basis, and although I am not on antidepressants at the moment (I came off them when I was pregnant with my son, completely my choice) I do worry about having to go back on them one day if I find myself not coping anymore, and I worry about what people will think of me if I talk openly about my struggles. Antidepressants are brilliant and a part of a lot of people’s lives every single day, so it should be ok to talk about them. Thank you for leading the way for me and others and being so open and honest xxx

I love the honesty in this. It’s a point that I had never considered before – that we can openly depend on coffee or wine, but we must never utter the words “anti-depressant”. I’m so glad that you wrote this because it takes people who cant think differently about this stuff, to lift the lid on it and get people talking.
