    Monthly Bucket List: May 2018

    At the start of each month I do a monthly bucket list in the hopes that it keeps me accountable, and also makes sure I don’t overwhelm myself with too much. It’s been a huge help since I started it and although I never publish it bang on the first of the month, I’m pleased…

  • Our First Ever Holiday

    Our First Ever Holiday

    Being able to say that we finally got to go on our first ever holiday is an amazing feeling. There was a time I didn’t think I’d ever be able to take the boys on a holiday by myself. Max was too volatile and I didn’t have the confidence to feel like I could manage…

  • What Fibromyalgia Means for Me

    What Fibromyalgia Means for Me

    The pain from my fibromyalgia is always there to some extent… A dull ache through my body like I’ve been running on empty for a few weeks. That I can handle so long as I take it easy. It’s the evenings and days after I’ve done anything – and I do mean anything – that…

  • You Are Freaking Incredible

    You Are Freaking Incredible

    You are a Mother. You carried your children in your belly. Or maybe you didn’t. You fed them from your breast. Or maybe you didn’t. You slept with them by your side. Or maybe you didn’t. You felt that bond before they were even born. Or maybe you didn’t. You are a Mother, and you…

    When Life Gives You Lemons…

    Well that was an interesting week… It started off fairly innocuously and ended with me dropping out of my psychology degree. WOW. Over the last few months I’ve realised that counselling (and possibly life coaching of some sort!) is *definitely* the route I want to go down for a career, and it turns out that…

    Monthly Bucket List: February 2018

    At the start of each month I do a monthly bucket list in the hopes that it keeps me accountable, and also makes sure I don’t overwhelm myself with too much. It’s been a huge help since I started it three months ago and although I never publish it bang on the first of the…

  • Thank God for February!

    Thank God for February!

    I’m not gonna lie, last month was a bit shit all in all. Max has had issues with his chronic constipation, we’ve had snow, and I’ve had the flu and a chest infection. Oh! And yesterday I had a call from the school about Max having a temperature… it looks like he’s got the flu…

    Monthly Bucket List: January 2018

    I’ve been really enjoying doing a monthly bucket list for the last wee while. It’s a great way to keep me accountable, and quite honestly to get more done than I might without. So let’s get started!   First off, let’s see how we did with last month’s bucket list: I’m not gonna lie, I…

  • A Reminder to be Grateful

    A Reminder to be Grateful

    Well today’s been a fun one… Monday mornings aren’t exactly my favourite at the best of times (I am in a fully committed relationship with my bed you see, and having to get up for the school run is just mean!), but this morning we woke up to a cold house. The boiler stopped working.…
