On The Fence About Having Kids? Some Thoughts From Both Sides Of That Fence
It’s been a while since I posted here and I’d usually apologise but as a new mum, an entrepreneur and a world traveller, I hope most of you will understand why this blog has had to take a backseat for a while.

It’s been a while since I posted here and I’d usually apologise but as a new mum, an entrepreneur and a world traveller, I hope most of you will understand why this blog has had to take a backseat for a while.
However, I’m back with this (rather long) post and hopefully in the new year a few more with a bit of an experiment to come…
But for now, this post is for friends out there who (like I was) are on the fence about having kids…and no it’s not going to be one of those “kids are the best thing that could happen to you” type posts but a realistic view from someone who’s been on both sides of that fence…

I’ve been lying awake at night recently unable to sleep, thanks to the hiccuping of the little madam in my belly.
According to the progress tracker on Babycentre she’s apparently practising her breathing technique (and no Daddy, she’s not a fish!), hence the hiccups. Strange sensation and quite disturbing until I realised what it was.

As so many have been predicting recently, Twitter seems to be hitting its stride and gaining popularity amongst non-early adopters and non-geeks (even my Dad’s on Twitter!).
For some time now though, I’ve been noticing a few knock-on effects on blogging and potentially on business – as Twitter gains in popularity. And they’re not all good…
