A few months ago I headed to Norway on the University of Nottingham's first Midwifery Study Trip. Click here to watch the vlog or see below. It was a strange trip to be honest. You had to apply and write a statement to say why you should go as it was a competitive process with only ten places. I was very excited when I found out I was successful, but as the time drew nearer, we didn't have any details and cost upon cost kept getting added to the total price, despite being told it was "heavily subsidised".

Ending the Year Strong!

I haven't been the most consistent in the latter half of this year but to be honest, life got crazy busy and I had to put different priorities first. My life has changed so much in the past year and I've had to juggle so much. I was planning on relaunching the blog in the New Year but this blog has always been a passion project for me.

So I am officially back with a promise to myself to continue to write with love and passion. I have so many posts in my drafts and so many to share so I'm considering doing a post every day in January. What do you think? Let me know in the comments below but I will defintely be back on Monday,
