It’s no secret that I suffered quite severely from post natal depression after my son was born in 2006.

A couple of weeks ago I went to a 3 hour first aid course for kids. Well, actually it was for the parents, but it was all about treating kids. The course was run by Kids First Aid and was probably the most valuable 3 hours I’ve spent in a long time. Having worked for an airline in […] Read more…
