Thoughts from the anxious mind of a wife, mother and one-time career girl
This afternoon, I dropped eldest at pre-school, put youngest down to bed for his nap and headed into town. (Attention Social Services: Daddy works from home, obviously I don't leave my 2-year-old alone). I didn't manage to sort either of the jobs I'd intended to, so decided today wasn't my day and paid a visit... Continue Reading →
GIFTED | As you may remember if you read my very first couple of blog posts, 2019 is a new chapter for me. It’s all about making changes, being brave, forging a new path. And a focus on self, wellness and goals for the future have been a huge part of that. With that in... Continue Reading →
It was my youngest son's second birthday this week. We had a lovely day (despite the rain), with presents, balloons, grandparents and the constant crazed screeching of party blowers. I don't know if it's the excitement and subsequent comedown, the volume of cake and wine consumed, or the reminder of passing time, but I always... Continue Reading →
I love food. Eating it, making it, watching every single cooking programme on TV - and immersing myself in cookbooks (every single time I cross Waterstone’s threshold, I need to talk myself down from spending that month’s mortgage payment on beautiful, hardback food bibles). Before kids, my husband and I would spend whole weekends... Continue Reading →
For those that haven't read Charlotte's guest blog - why not?! For those that did - I think we can all agree how brave she is to tell her story so openly. And today I am immensely proud to share with you another guest blog, in honour of Mental Health Foundation's Mental Health Awareness Week, from the... Continue Reading →
I'm so excited to share with you a very special guest blog today in honour of Mental Health Foundation's Mental Health Awareness Week. Charlotte and I have been friends our whole lives - we met at nursery age 2, have been on holidays together and even promised we'd get married one day, until one of... Continue Reading →
I've mentioned before how long it took me to pluck up the courage to do this. To do anything, actually. Because I didn't know that blogging about the life and times of me, and becoming some kind of un-masked mental health crusader, would be what I ended up doing. I have notepads full of pros...

Let's make it clear. People with health issues of any kind are not defined by them. I am smart, funny and feisty. I am kind, loving and loyal. I am thoughtful, inquisitive and creative. What I am not, is crazy. I have chosen to talk openly about this particular part of who I am because... Continue Reading →
Despite beavering away on the blog when I have a spare sec, I've been pretty quiet on the social media front the past couple of days... I know everyone that follows me there has noticed, and has really missed me?! I've not been feeling great and my go-to response is to clam up. I know... Continue Reading →
In the spirit of St George's Day, let's talk about bravery. When we were kids, we climbed trees, threw ourselves down hills and jumped from the highest step... But as we get older, we (or the vast majority, at least) lose that free spirit and lack of interest in consequences. Our brains start flashing warning... Continue Reading →
