Tips for dealing with exhaustion
I’ve been wondering what to talk about with the gorgeous Danny Smith on his drive time show to Radio Verulam for a couple of days. Should it be my improvement with Fibromyalgia, should it be that the minute the sun comes out we panic about bikini’s or should it be more relationship stuff? But then […]
This week’s chat with the lovely Danny Smith on his drive time show over at Radio Verulam was about nutrition and a few things that people might not know about SUGAR and SWEETENERS. The problem is they are HIDDEN in lots of things that we eat and people don’t know. Plus there are BIG health […]

I’m not a fan of New Years Resolutions, I think it’s a time for a detox, clear out and rest. Goals can just add to the weight of things we don’t achieve as Mums. What I use are ‘Life Priorities’ Life Priorities help you to organise your time, energy and money spends for the […]
We moved into our town house when I just had a couple of months before Curly Headed Boy was born. It’s a crescent with 14 houses, and half are full of young families whose babies started to appear 6 weeks after Curly Headed Boy was born. So it was also pretty sociable, because we were […]
