#WorldMentalHealthDay – My Story

October 10, 2017

I've already read so many inspirational stories today for #WorldMentalHealthDay that are encouraging, supportive and so emotionally brave. I wanted to put words to post myself and share something meaningful. Something I hope will help others too. Mental Health affects us all, whether we're suffering or smiling, or we are watching a family member go through crisis. I've openly talked about my anxiety and depression before to friends and family and most of the time I suppose people would ... Read more

#ChileanEasyPeelers Challenge with BritMums

October 8, 2017

This post is an entry for the BritMums #ChileanEasyPeelers Challenge, sponsored by Chilean Citrus Committee. I don't know about your children but Evie is ALWAYS hungry after school. She's also hungry on the way to school. Having a handy, pocket-sized snack to take with me like a Chilean easy peeler satsuma is a great way to satisfy her hunger needs and make sure she's getting a nice dose of vitamin C and having a healthy snack.

You don't need to raise awareness by putting a heart or a status on facebook, ... Read more

Evie’s Bedroom Makeover – Part 2

September 28, 2017

We have gradually been trying to improve Evie's room. By improve I mean throw away a lot of old toys that do not work and do not get played with. This has been a big success and we've now got a nice big toy storage unit to keep everything together. Everything now has a proper place and the room is, most of the time, pretty easy to keep tidy. I say pretty easy, but children are very good at making a big mess out of not a lot of stuff! New bedding has really helped make the room ... Read more
