#mummyshot

As we near the end of 2018, we quietly pat ourselves on the back for surviving another year of parenthood! Truth is we should be shouting it from the rafters because Parenthood is tough going, it is messy, chaotic, smelly, and most of the time goes unappreciated. It is also the best thing I have ever experienced and by the gorgeous, funny and absolutely beautiful images that all of you share on…

Here is my fav image from my own feed this month #mummyshot

  Over the past month Aspen has been struggling with her health, to the point where at the doctor on Saturday he told us to take her straight to the Hospital.

I am a mum to a teenager, and although it feels crazy to say that, because “HELLO when the hell did that happen?” Wasn’t I just a teen myself? OK clearly not, but seriously this stuff sneaks up on you!

This is a warning to all of you Parents with adorable chubby legged toddlers out there, they don’t stay that way, and although they are probably driving you crazy and you want to run away to a…

love is complicated . . . . . . A Blogging good time 112

Loving is complicated. Being loved is complicated. With it comes so many emotions, feelings of elation, the purest joy, reassurance that you are not alone, a warmth inside you, a glow that starts in your toes and reaches your eyes, but love can also bring fear of loss, questions like ‘what if it goes away’, ‘what if my heart gets broken‘? Yet we risk it all, we give our hearts fully because…

if words only convey 7% of communication, are we missing out on way too much?

Words are a huge part of my life, as a blogger I depend on words to convey so much of I what I am trying to get across to my readers, the dilemma is words are simply, words. What I mean is a word by itself is a word and it doesn’t convey a lot, whereas as you string them together to form a sentence they start to come together to form what I am trying to say. However, language only accounts for…

I would love to live in a bookstore

“Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”

-Margery Williams, from the book The Velveteen Rabbit.

When I was a little girl I fell in love with books, the pictures that…
