Tips for dealing with exhaustion
Normally my little tips about general health are all that’s been needed to boost my energy levels, but there are times in my life when more is needed, and the last few weeks is one of them. The great news for you is that as I resolve my own energy levels, I’ve been able to […]
This week I’m combining my Video Wed with the Tips on how to deal with Exhaustion! Sometimes we are just exhausted because we are Mums. Sometimes it’s because of the pressures of life. But sometimes it’s because our little blighters / gorgeous children are rubbish sleepers! Mine are rubbish sleepers, I haven’t ‘slept through the […]
So in my last 2 posts, we talked about embracing the exhaustion so that you can find out what caused it and then making a plan to deal with it. Once your back on top, keep your eyes on the rest of my exhaustion tips, because there are still some fabulous ones to come to […]

Ok so I would have hated it if someone said this to me, but I have to admit that losing a stone in weight has helped with the exhaustion. But I was overweight (from a health perspective). I know that people think that we worry too much about weight now a days, and that size […]
You know how strongly I feel that Mum needs to take care of herself in order to be able to look after the family? Well, that means we need a break every now and again. The important thing is to not make it more complicated than it really needs to be or to put unnecessary […]
Music, it’s amazing. It can literally give you energy from nowhere. Knackered in the morning? Turn on glee, Mamma Mia, or any eighties blast from the past (if you’re old like me!) Need to do the cleaning? Some rock will definitely work. Feeling sad? Then either really go for it and put on some sad […]
