Any one else feeling overwhelmed with all the doom and gloom in the world at the moment? It is hard to stay positive and upbeat when there seems to be a constant barrage of bad news with no sign of an end in sight. Personally, I have stopped watching the news and only glance atContinueContinue reading “More Laughter Needed”

Mental Health
I enjoy observing people, I like to witness human nature. I hope that I will see something amazing, an act of compassion or overcoming adversity. Recently there has been a large amount of behaviour that is shameful and I personally feel that shame. I do not understand why people complain or are offended by someoneContinueContinue reading “Mental Health”
Am I Failing?
Apologies for the slight delay guys… but here it is.
I talk to my Dog…Does that make me crazy?
I don’t know about anyone else but I was surprised to find that following my pregnancies my memory seemed to fade. I have become reliant on daily lists to get me through each day. Making lists was not a new concept, it was a tool that I regularly used throughout my career, to enable meContinueContinue reading “I talk to my Dog…Does that make me crazy?”
So many cans…
It’s me again, I just wanted to say that I am aware that some of the items that I write about here are very in depth and often complex situations, such as body confidence. There is no doubt in my mind that I will analyse the issues that I speak of in the future, andContinueContinue reading “So many cans…”
Body Confidence Impact

So, as a mum, this is an area that I need to address. A few days ago,ContinueContinue reading “Body Confidence Impact”

It was a busy weekend, it was my husband’s birthday during the week but he was away working so we tried to do all our celebrating over this past weekend. To say it did not go quite as planned is a fair assessment. TheContinueContinue reading “Sunday Funday”
Not a Funny…this one is Serious
This post has been difficult to write. I am conscious that I do not want to generalise too much however, I do think I need to address this. So in case you have not realised, I have an issue with feeling like I am being judged by other people. This expands to witnessing other peopleContinueContinue reading “Not a Funny…this one is Serious”
Its Friiidaaayyyy!!
We survived our first week of the “new normal” that exists during the pandemic. It has been a testing one. The children returned to school, started their learning with their new teacher and have developed some new attitudes. In addition, I had my second counselling session which was interesting. It is strange to view yourContinueContinue reading “Its Friiidaaayyyy!!”
Sibling Relationships
As an only child, this is an area that I cannot relate to my children. I do not understand the dynamic of a sibling relationship. I cannot understand how their interactions with each other can change so drastically. There does not seem to be any middle ground with how they feel about each other. TheyContinueContinue reading “Sibling Relationships”
