Snowballing
There is no doubting that being an adult is a full time job. Life is so busy with day to day things to do. A house to run, shopping to get, emails to reply to. Then there is work on top of that which takes up so much energy, effort and brain power. I meanContinue reading “Snowballing”
For goodness sake… let it burn!
I’ve got this candle. It’s a pillar candle with roses engraved into it all around. It’s very delicate looking and pretty.

Having recently given birth to my second son I’m beginning to feel a little bit more like ‘me’ again and on these ‘good’ days where I manage to get showered, wash my hair (or at least brush it) and put make up on, I start to feel that ‘glow’ of motherhood. When it comes toContinue reading “That Motherhood Glow”
It’s OK to make mistakes!
Well we all make them. Big ones, little ones, some we make over and over again. It’s part of our nature and us mums are no exception. Since being a mum I’ve come to realise just how scary life is and how many decisions a day we actually have to make. It’s exhausting! From decidingContinue reading “It’s OK to make mistakes!”
Being organised days
Some days it can feel like everything is going wrong, taking ages and nothing seems to get finished. On days like that it’s ok to just give in and know that the list of jobs will get done in the end.
