It’s really quite simple. (Which isn’t the same as easy, by the way.) The key to falling in love and not falling back out of it is this: Pay attention. When you pay attention, you’ll actually notice the incredible scent of wisteria wafting on the gentle May breeze or the ferns curled up tightly like […]
As lockdown progressed, I soon realised that if I was to survive being stuck at home with few positive distractions then I was going to have to choose carefully between eating myself into a whole new wardrobe or getting my unfit body back into shape. Thankfully for my body and my wallet, I chose fitness.
And that’s probably the hardest thing about becoming a Mum for me, even harder than the lack of sleep: the sudden disappearance of time to yourself.
I’m still a day behind with posting – today I may just catch up but here’s yesterday’s scribble that I wrote and never got a chance to publish! I’ve probably bored away so many of you at this stage with two posts in a row all about getting my little munchkin to sleep. So I […]
Ooooph. That’s pretty much how I feel today. My poor boobies are hurting. An added bonus to the mastitis I got yesterday are things called milk blisters. I’ll leave you to google that one if you don’t know what it is, but if you can’t be bothered, then all you need to know is that […]
I’ve been struck down again. I knew it – I knew I shouldn’t have rushed around like a mad woman on Friday trying to get so much done and stressing myself out in the process. Mastitis. It’s practically my middle name at this stage. In the six months since I had Bowie, this is my […]

Wow, it’s so late and I was about to go to bed when I remembered that a) I had planned on showering first and b) surprise surprise, I hadn’t done today’s scribble yet. Well folks, you’re not going to get much out of me tonight. Today was a day off and I barely even went […]
I was considering skipping today’s scribble; it’s 9 pm, I’m tired and I thought maybe just this once I could completely skip it and go watch a movie. You know, another one of my wild Saturday nights (they’re happening every week lately). But then that little voice inside reminded me of my wish to be consistent, […]
Well folks I’m fecking wrecked and it’s not even 9 pm. I’m off to bed after writing this, that’s for sure! The reason for my utter “wrecked-ness” is that I received all the edits on my manuscript including all the editors notes, corrections and suggestions for revision. And lo and behold, I simply could not […]
