The many forms in which I have seen my worries manifest is limitless. Lying awake for indefinite hours, heart drum beats in my chest. Fears of worst possible outcomes racing through my mind. My sleepy (and exasperated!) boyfriend going around in circles, hopelessly trying to get to the source of my deep-rooted concerns. Heart beats…
Single life is one of those times where you never really appreciate the value of it until you no longer have it. While you’re single, you kind of wish you were in a relationship, and when you’re in a relationship, you realise how simple things were when you were single. So make the most of…
If there is one thing we are told time and time again during our pregnancies it is all the foods and drinks we should be avoiding. How many times do we hear ‘oh you’re not allowed to eat that now’… it becomes draining and such a negative experience. So we are going to focus on…
Everyone loves a good Netflix binge, and while gorging yourself on movies is a nice idea, there’s something special about the bingeworthy Netflix TV shows that get you hooked and keep you coming back for more.

I found myself nodding along as I read the recent post about 5 Friends You Don’t Need In Your Life, and decided to flip it and consider the 5 friends you do need in your life. Life is hard, and I don’t know about you, but when my stress level is up to here…

Our first…

The Dry Spell. This is how my husband refers to the six or seven months after we have a baby. Illness or surgery can also bring on a dry spell, but at our house, it’s always babies. Whatever brings it on, it’s important not to let The Dry Spell settle in long-term. I’m talking about…
I’m not exactly a lazy person. I’m actually a bit of a work-a-holic and get bored quite easily. However, when it comes to things like meal prepping and forward planning with food, that’s where my laziness kicks in. I know I need to eat healthy, I know I feel good when I eat healthy and…
Dear NICU Mum, I see you sitting there in the hospital café, clinging to your cup of decaf wishing it was caffeinated and with that thousand yard stare. I can see that guilty feeling you have right now, guilty that you left the side of your baby for just a few minutes so you could…
