Helping Mums Embrace Gentle Living & Easy Journaling

Why do we want all our mates to be pregnant too?

Why do we want all our mates to be pregnant too?

A good friend of mine phoned me at the weekend with the surprising news that she may be pregnant.  My immediate response was to get all excited and be so chuffed for her.  I know that I am totally biased about the whole thing and have been crossing all my fingers and toes ever since […]

Never discount a chance meeting, it might get you on radio!

Never discount a chance meeting, it might get you on radio!

I know that we all have busy lives and so logically we will often not bother to chat to or make friends with people in a situation that doesn’t obviously make sense.  But if you are open to it, there are sometimes magical things that will come out of it.  For example, you might really […]

Help, Am I Deluded?

Help, Am I Deluded?

I’ve met my fair share of coach/therapist/healer types who were extremely deluded about either their grandiose plans, their skills or their market actually wanting them. There have also been a fair amount if people with a great deal less training and experience than me, who were a load better at marketing and therefore a hell […]

It’s All Change On The Western Front

It’s been a weird 6 months, I appear to have been in mega ‘declutter your life’ mode. You would have thought that giving birth to little dimples, and curly headed boy going to primary school would have been enough really, plus getting really sick.  But I appear to have been on a mission. Maybe it’s because now I have […]

Staycation vs Vacation vs Crazy Gap Year

content

This summer we opted for a ‘staycation’ with curly headed boy (4.5yrs) and little dimples (6 months).  For ages I had perused all sorts of vacation options, but there were three problems: I was shattered and really wanted bigtime pampering and five star service (for that read price!) Little Dimples was just turning 6 months, […]

So often our advice is for us, not for them

So often our advice is for us, not for them

I had a giggle at myself the other day, when I realized that there is a particular subject that I’ve been often offering unsolicited advice about in the last few months and really it was for me. This happens a lot, don’t you find? It especially happens to us coach/therapist types, because it does make […]

Andrex Puppy – Prizes To Be Had And A Conversation About Disability

Just incase you didn’t guess this is a sponsored post ;o) The guys at Andrex contacted me to ask if I would let you know about a competition running at the moment, and you know what that means – PRIZES! Before I let you know more about it, I thought I’d chat a bit about […]

Who am I, Who was I, Who will I be?

Who am I, Who was I, Who will I be?

Have you ever wondered what happened to the girl you used to be, or who you will become, or who on earth you have ended up becoming?  I suddenly started wondering about this at the weekend as I watched one of my favourite films ‘Practical Magic’ with Sandra Bullock.  I felt a tinge of sadness, […]

Wow, 3 Months Is a Lot Faster Second Time Around

Wow, 3 Months Is a Lot Faster Second Time Around

Wow, Wibee (little pink/Willow Phoebe) is now 3 months old.  I can now pop her in a bumbo and eat at least half my meal without her needing a cuddle.  We have reached that magical second milestone, where she’s transitioned through the squeaky, alien phase, into the gradually becoming more aware phase, and is now […]

Why Is Asking For Help So Difficult?

Why Is Asking For Help So Difficult?

I’ve just spent two weeks sick, oh my god, since I’ve been a ‘grown up’, I can hardly think of any times that I’ve had to rest and recuperate for so long.  Now once I got my head around it, I’ve really appreciated the experience, but initially it was blinking hard, because I had to […]
