This year has been a bit shit. I’ve spent far too much time contemplating, whining, thinking, moaning, wondering what to do and generally feeling sorry for myself. Which, I assure you, is very unlike me. It’s time to get back to normal. It’s time to do what I’ve always done: if I’m not happy about [...]
Today, a guest poster with a beautifully touching story about how her life began – and how it’s shaped the who she is now. This person is a good friend of mine, and wants to stay anonymous on this one, but I hope you take as much from her story as I have… I have [...]
They look boring, all desks and chairs and office doors and partitions. But the inside of an office is anything but. I love people watching and eavesdropping on conversations, and there’s no better place to do that than in an office. Especially as a relative outsider, when everyone around you feels comfortable with each other. [...]
I’ve had a bee in my bonnet ever since Abbey was old enough to eat solid foods. Back then, at the tender age of five months, we were asked often and by many people when we were going to give her things like chocolate, ice-cream, fast food, and so on. I found myself fighting a [...]
Whenever I write about my love of camping, I get comments asking how to do it. Lots of you want to give it a go but don’t know where to start – and I can see why. Walking into a camping shop is overwhelming and if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for I [...]
I’m tired of mediocrity. I want to teach my daughter that life is more important than a career. That when you’re asked what you want to be, you don’t have to answer with a job title. I want to show her that you need to work hard, but not necessarily in a traditional sense. To [...]
I went shopping for new clothes for the little growing machine. While there, she requested we also go shoe shopping and I agreed it was a good idea. Especially when I spied these little beauties. I might have picked up a quick purchase or two for myself as well – those infamous glasses and a [...]
Things have a habit of turning up in my life just as I need them most. I wrote earlier this year about needing some time to myself every so often – not to write, not to work and definitely not to do things around the house. To stop and relax. Less time to myself than [...]
A confession: I’m off the wagon. Yep, after all my bleating on about quitting sugar, I’m swallowing my sweet sugary words. In my defense, I did always say it was a trial and that I wanted to incorporate moderation back into my life – so in part I’m still on track. Not a complete hypocrite. [...]
For the first year and a half of my blog’s life I was totally against the idea of working with brands. I just didn’t see it fitting here, instead wanting to keep this space advertisement-free and perhaps even use it as a platform from which to gain some paid writing work elsewhere. This past few [...]
