How, why and what on earth is ‘Loving yourself’?

Is it possible to have romance and kids?

I was on the radio tonight with the ‘Gorgeous Danny Smith’ on his Drivetime show on Radio Verulam (you can listen again for a week here – monday 5.30-6pm), talking about ‘Self Love’.  It’s a bit cliched maybe, but also really important, and something I’ve been thinking about and wishing a few of my friends would practice more […]

Anger – what the hell is it all about?

Frustration and anger

I was chatting with Curly headed boy the other day, as he’d been giving us some serious attitude for a few weeks.  He was clearly angry with me, but I couldn’t work out what on earth was the matter. So I picked one of those evenings – you know the ones when they want to […]

A Hidden Pain and Silent Fog: Fibromyalgia

Back Pain

  I have some news. It has good bits and not so good bits, but that’s life heh! It explains why I’ve been a little quiet (but you may not have noticed). It explains why I’ve been a bit flakey and unreliable (I hope you haven’t noticed). It’s also about the next 6 months   […]

Are you a stress junkie or got your stress habit under control?

Radio show about stress

So last months LifeStyle feature with Radio Verulam and the lovely Dapper Danny Smith on his Drive Time show was all about stress. Sorry for the delay in posting it, my life has been a bit stressful!! The big question is, when should you do something about being stressed and when is it just normal […]

Books That Can Help When You Feel Overwhelmed Or Are Depressed

Great books for mums

Can a book help you if you are stressed or overwhelmed or depressed? Yes, it totally can.  BUT it’s always sensible to mix being self-reliant with a bit of involvement from other people; so reading a great book doesn’t mean that sometimes we might need someone else’s help as well; wether that’s a chat with […]
