Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone celebrated its 20th Anniversary last week. It seems to be ages ago but it’s also surprising how quickly time flew by. I think no one foresaw, twenty years ago, the impact that such a publication would have, what the novels would become, or how it would mark more than…
Most people live fairly complicated lives. When you actually sit down and take stock of everything that we do in a day, all the demands we have, the jobs we work, the extra curricular activities our kids go to, the #instaworthy food we are supposed to be cooking from scratch and the general keeping up…
It’s no secret… I really don’t like being pregnant. Aside from the whole ‘pregnancy pretty much tries to kill me and completely debilitate me’ side of things, I honestly struggle with how my body changes and reacts during pregnancy. That’s not to say I’m not grateful for the ability to be pregnant, I very much…
The struggle bus has managed to swoop me up into its motion and take over! Now, I do not want to scare you young mom’s out there, but you have not seen struggle until your darling hits the magic age of 13! You will ask yourself several times, “Where did my little angel go?” in…
This post has been submitted anonymously. I don’t regret cheating on my husband. While it feels incredibly liberating to write those words, there’s still so much backlash out there from people who don’t understand. Most of those people will never understand. And that’s totally okay. But it’s also important to know that just because you…
I’d love to be able to say that I managed to get my financial life in order before my twenties were over, but that just didn’t happen. Sure, I was in a much better situation at 29 than what I was at 21 but we also didn’t have access to the same information at 21…
Do you ever wonder who’s the Heroine of your story? Not the fictional story you might be writing, or reading, but the one you’re living, your own personal journey. Most of us know of these famous archetypes along the hero’s journey via Joseph Campbell, or Christopher Vogler’s book, The Writer’s Journey. Shapeshifters, Villains and Allies,…
When you become a parent, so many people say that your children are the most important people in your life. And I totally get that, I really do. After all, they are proof that your heart can still exist outside of your body. You never know a love quite like it, so fierce and animalistic….
Self Confidence isn’t something we just ‘have’. It is like a muscle that needs to be worked and exercised to grow. Sometimes we will look at others and think ‘wow, they really have it all – everything we want’ but that person can still lack confidence in themselves. Because your self confidence doesn’t come from…
When planning out my life I didn’t exactly envisage ‘divorced by 26’ to be part of the picture. If I’m completely honest I didn’t really think I’d be married by then, but it seemed like everyone else was getting married and I selfishly wanted to look ‘young’ for my wedding photos so I didn’t completely…
