Being a Mum. It's a really weird yet totally natural thing. If you are blessed enough to be able to conceive, carry a baby to term and then give birth to a live, healthy baby and you are relatively unscathed,... Continue Reading →
Do you ever feel like this? Normal and happy and smiling on the outside, but on the inside you need love and a hug and some TLC? Yeah me too. It's quite exhausting actually. There are certain locations where you... Continue Reading →
Today has been a strange day. Bit of a back story. My life has been turned completely upside down over the past four months. And not in a good way. (I'm not ready to talk about why just yet). Stress... Continue Reading →
*if you're offended by swearing, don't bother reading beyond this line. The other day I finished the book 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck'. It was such a breath of fresh air. We aren't special. Our problems aren't... Continue Reading →
Too many emotions. Do you ever have the feeling like your emotions are so huge they can't all fit inside your body? Like your body wasn't made big enough to hold everything in? It's an awful feeling. Anger. Despair. Loneliness.... Continue Reading →

This is the third and final post on my triathlon. And this one will be about the amazing women who completed the course with me. We said that we would all start each leg together. We would travel at our... Continue Reading →
This post follows on the back of my previous post about the triathlon. My two oldest boys came along today. At first they didn't really want to. My oldest wanted to stay in bed! But I dragged them along, with... Continue Reading →
Twelve months ago my body was broken. I was very overweight, the arches in my feet had collapsed after having four babies, my back was shot and my mind was a mess. I could barely walk. I remember thinking that... Continue Reading →
My cup overflowed the other day. My 'Mum Mental Load' was so full on that I ended up crying myself to sleep. Let's rewind two weeks. Mr L got tonsillitis. Mr S got croup and then an ear infection. Hubby... Continue Reading →
Ok. So I had a major AH-HA moment this week. You know how those annoying healthy people say that if they don't exercise they start to feel angry/sad/frustrated? Well well well. Believe it or not, this week, it happened. I... Continue Reading →
