Helping Mums Embrace Gentle Living & Easy Journaling

Seven top tips for how to get decluttering

I’m a mega declutterer, but I didn’t start out that way. I started out life as a hoarder, copying my mum.  It meant keeping every letter, every card, and filling my room with little ornaments and bits and bobs.  There was a huge fear of loss, and having to keep EVERYTHING just in case. Mum […]

How David Tennant Made My Day

How David Tennant Made My Day

David Tennant broke my heart when he left Dr Who.  But just before Christmas I forgave him, even though he’s getting married to someone else ;o) Big hairy northern hubby’s company does a big charity event every year, where all the profit they make on the day goes to charity.  This is no cynical PR […]

2010 what a year! Gifts and Challenges all round.

2010 what a year! Gifts and Challenges all round.

I normally write a letter about my year and send it out with Christmas cards, but this year I’m too late, so instead I thought I’d write a blog post.  Hopefully some of my friends will get to see it.  I like writing this sort of thing, its probably very selfish, but it gives me […]

Taking time or Rushing Ahead

Taking time or Rushing Ahead

I learnt something about myself the a few days ago.  I learnt why I have such a strong feeling about evolution of a person needing to follow a natural rhythm, rather than be forced or pushed.  Have you wondered where your beliefs come from sometimes? There has always been one place where I differed from […]

Brainstorming with a mate

Brainstorming with a mate

We all get stressed, especially at this time of year.  Life’s great don’t get me wrong, but I’ve also found the last few weeks stressful, with hairy northern hubby away in america every other week, a tired and tantrumy Curly Headed Boy (coming up for end of first term at primary school), and a teething/cold […]

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 […]

Do You Like My Shiny New Blog?

I’ve been a bit quiet over the last few months, but it’s all going to change!  I’ve been busy learning, creating, learning some more and sorting out my business, thanks to the very helpful advice I got when I posted ‘Help am I deluded‘ back in October.  Basically everyone was in agreement that although my […]

Pregnancy Second Time Around

Pregnancy Second Time Around

Apologies for people who have read this post before.  I originally had it as a Page on my blog, but I have a big redesign of my blog coming up in the next month, and so I’m cutting down on the pages.  I wrote this over a year ago when I was pregnant with Little […]

Insights Into My Mums Choices

Insights Into My Mums Choices

Apologies to those who have read this before, as I wrote it when I was pregnant probably over a year ago.  It used to be one of my ‘Pages’, but I’m about to have a bit redesign of my blog and one of the things I’m going to do is reduce the ‘Pages’ and make […]

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 […]
