About me

I’m Nicola, 38, from County Durham. I’m a recovering travelling fanatic (mostly Asia), 90s indie music fan, and owner of about 75% Orla Kiely’s back catalogue.

Mum to two boys: RLT – our rainbow baby who was born in June 2016 and EET who was born in September 2018. My journey to get here wasn’t easy. 

I’m also a cat guardian to a sassy Russian Blue, named Orla Kitty. This blog is an online journal; Something that I can look back on as a reminder of the boys’ childhoods scattered with the odd review, which kept my mind active during maternity leave.

Parenting has so far been the best thing I have ever done in my life, but also the hardest. There is no book that tells me how to deal with a toddler who is experiencing speech delay, navigating the constant worry of ‘is he going to get there in the end’, or are we dealing with something bigger? Needless to say, this has caused a lot of anxiety as does having another toddler who sees everything has something to conquer – he has admirable skills in being able to tackle anything head on – quite literally sometimes!

Hello and welcome! I’m Nicola, 38, from the North East of England. Recovering travelling fanatic, 90s indie music fan, MSc student and owner of about 75% Orla Kiely’s back catalogue. Probably the least assertive mother in County Durham, raising two very assertive boys under the age of six.

Happy 40th to my girl @according_to_samantha

24 years of friendship since we sat next to each other in tutor group at College. She puts up with my whinging and is always there when you need her. Blessed to consider her a friend 🙌

Have a great day, mate if the tiny dictators allow it! 🥰
It's always the unexpected moments at Christmas that mean the most ♥️ A gorgeous night meeting Santa @steammachinebrewco alongside friends old and present. These are the moments that make Christmas ♥️
