Wedding nostalgia

One of my best friends gets married later this year, it’s a special fairy tale ending so I am extremely excited and all things wedding got me a bit nostalgic for my own wedding, nearly six years ago. Watching the home movie the other day I realised quite how different life is now and tried […]

Bullying

I can’t believe that in 2019 bullying appears to be at it’s greatest level to date digitally. I can only assume that people forget that typing a tirade of abuse from their living room is real life and actually hurts the people its aimed at? Celebrities and journalists with a platform seems to be the […]

First school year

As we hurtle towards September at a tremendous speed I find myself reflecting on my little boy’s first year at school. This time last year I remember looking at his little face and having a tear imagining the full five days a week he would no longer be in my care. Night after night I’d […]

Mum Guilt

Mum guilt. It feels like the worst guilt ever and is something we are all prone to. I feel fortunate to be able to be a “stay at home mother”, or “SAHM” for the worst abbreviation ever, but still feel the guilt. This morning Wilfred counted to ten, only missing the number five. With his […]

Miscarriage, what a sh*t word

Writing is a great outlet for your thoughts and emotions, and I think it is important to feel the feels when something happens to you. If you don’t allow yourself the time to reflect and hurt, your mental health may well suffer later down the line. Your mind might process the event without you even […]

January hump

I kind of feel like we have reached the January hump, mid week vibe to the month. The resolutions and healthy eating is in full force but I can’t help but daydream longingly back to the chocolate for breakfast, Chinese for tea days of the Christmas break. Don’t get me wrong, my clothes are saying […]

Nearly the end of the first week

As the Sunday night blues kick in, I thought it would be a good time to reflect as it’s nearly been a whole week of January! I still feel the aching “school tomorrow” sinking feeling like I am a child, it really used to kick in when the “Heartbeat” theme tune came on in the […]

New Year vision

Not at all cliche to pick up writing again 1st January but you know, New Years goals and all that jazz. The lovely Alice has done a collage board to show her “resolutions” as such and I thought it was a great visual representation. I am going to print mine out and stick it on […]

I’m baaack

So I’ve not blogged in what feels like years. The thirtieth birthday has been in full swing for the last few weeks and the weight loss has taken a back seat. I never fully recovered from Easter so I find myself currently 5 lb heavier than pre Easter and Birthday. Lines have been drawn and […]

Boxing 🥊🥊🥊

So the weekend didn’t really pan out as planned, an emergency dog rehome stalled the plans for a weekend away 🤦‍♂️. I did however still make it down to London for the Mahara sports event. I felt completely out of my comfort zone in all honesty and worried the whole train journey there that it […]
