Mother and Child by Xi Pan (2008)
Dear readers, as I was falling asleep has a big sister – for three years I’ve tended another blog, called The Beauty Philosopher. My other blog is a fun affair – a little bit of this, a little bit of that and it is basically about nice things. I have however written a series of more personal pieces for The Beauty Philosopher, most recently about my interpretations of pregnancy, birth and motherhood. I thought they might feel at home here too, so here are the links to a handful of them. I might pop a couple of them on here directly too over the next few weeks.
baby chatter: beyond six months
motherhood: a social leveler
dreaming about a friendship
thoughts on beauty, with baby
She’s here
thoughts inspired by an apple green top
Notes on pregnancy and work
Take me to the water

I love the name of your new blog. I also do some of my best work in my head as I’m relaxing in bed. I often jot ideas down on a notepad beside my bed just so I can stop thinking about them and go to sleep.
Looking forward to following you here too.
