I thought you might want to see what other people have been saying about my webinar coming up tomorrow. Partially because they appear to be a load more eloquent than I am, and also because it gives you an insight from people who have known or interacted with me for a while *** ‘Muddling Along’ […]
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, 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 […]
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 […]
I realised something last week, which is that sometimes we actually have to bite the bullet and ask for help. This might seem obvious for some people, but it’s been quite a new concept for me; so, I’ve spent the last 10 days very sick and finding all sorts of different ways of asking for […]

I didn’t know that I thought this until I watched […]
I realised the other day that I could have become a Mum at either 16, 26 or 36, and ironically the extremes of very young or very old suited me best.
I read a couple of heart-rending mummy blogs recently, where two Mums were asking for advice about their lack of sex life and wondering how come their partners appeared not to be interested. They were distressed because society gives off the impression that men only think about sex, so now they are wondering why their […]
Willow Phoebe Rose Pearson arrived on Saturday 13th February at 13.25, at a chubby 9lbs 3oz, at home in our lounge after a very relaxed 7hr labour, lots of chatting and a short dip in the birthing pool. Hubby and 4yr old son were downstairs during the process, watching films or playing computer games, and […]
