Hello!
I’m Millie Smithy.
I’m a Mum to two wonderful, exhausting, incredible children. I’m also a partner to an equally exhausting and occasionally incredible man! So far so ordinary, right?
But it was supposed to be so different.
Back in my early 20s, a whole lifetime ago, I was told I would never be able to have children. I was crushed. My partner at the time was distraught too, and if I’m honest, it’s one of the major reasons the relationship went South.
After a few years coming to terms with the idea of never becoming a Mum, I met the man of my dreams. But don’t tell him I said that 🤭
I was so scared of revealing my secret, but when it finally came tumbling out he was amazing. Although I’m still surprised he could understand what I was saying through the blubbering. We moved in together, enjoyed London for a while, and then decided we wanted to settle down.
We moved back up North, got married, bought a house… and then a miracle happened.
I fell pregnant.
After a terrifying 9 month wait we had a beautiful little boy who turned our world upside down in the best possible way. It makes me emotional just thinking about how lucky we were and I started this blog as an outlet for that emotion. It was such a fluke. A one off.
And then it happened again.
Our family unexpectedly grew from 3 to 4 when our gorgeous little girl came along. We were all three of us smitten (tired, but smitten) and the Smithy family was complete.
Well, apart from the puppy I am yet to convince my fella to get 😇🐶👨👩👧👦
