Continue reading →: To Share or Not to ShareFrom the moment you find out you’re expecting a child, the pressure is on to decide what kind of parent you’re going to be. There are the questions which divided our NCT group back in the summer of 2013: will you breastfeed or use formula? Will you use a dummy?…

I’m currently in the middle of drafting a revisit of a Q&A post I made seven years ago and one of the questions has warranted, I think, a bit more exploration. Namely the one that I get asked fairly often by anyone who has known me a certain length of…

I’m Jenny
I started this blog in 2010 as part of my journalism studies and have been loudly overthinking here ever since.
