Today has genuinely been one of those days where I’ve just felt “meh“… Y’know those days? Where it just seems a bit (or a lot) of a struggle? But you plough on and hope for the best, knowing tomorrow’s a new day. A fresh start. I think the down days are pretty common to us …
I got asked recently “how the f*ck am I doing it all without being scared?” I looked a little perplexed and probed some more. “Full time Mum, wife, two businesses, housework, chores….and you’re putting yourself out there on social media most days…” What’s so scary I thought? But then, it is scary. But the truth …
There are things in life which people are naturally good at. Some people are very musical. Others are great at maths as some very basic examples. In fact we each have our unique talents and gifts that I believe we are either born with or develop very young in childhood. The thing is, often we …
I can’t even count how many people I know who suffer from the ‘FOJ’ aka fear of judgement. I know so many it’s unbelievable, but true. Another way to put is they’re afraid of what other people think, so they’ll avoid at all costs doing something, saying something, being something other than who they are …
Often I think that words aren’t enough to describe the sheer joy at watching my little man ‘doing his thing’ right now. I sit watching him for ages, reams of time eek out in front of me when I’m observing his little actions, how he flexes his fingers, how he picks up a tiny black …
Most of us are aware of the current world crisis. In fact it’s taken me at least a week and a bit to process the whole thing. I’m guessing we’re living more in a state of uncertainty than stability, and we’re not too sure what to think or how to even understand the scale of …
It’s everywhere right? The “C” word. Never in my lifetime have I seen such a massive change in humanity. And it’s happened within the space of 4 weeks. Holy shit is what I’m thinking. The news is awash with it and us Mamas are taking the load, not only worrying about the unknown, but worrying …
I have this really strange habit of being afraid to offer my help to others. It’s like if I offer help, I’m afraid to be rejected. I’m scared of the word ‘no’. Afraid of being ridiculed. Afraid of looking small. In my Mamas Find Your Voice facebook group I have to pluck up a serious amount …
It’s fair to say we all judge. It’s part of being human, and dealing with the constant need to compare, seek approval and people please. Some of us judge more openly than others, and more vocally. But if there’s one group of individuals who shouldn’t judge, it’s Mums. Mum’s judging other Mum’s should be off the …
As I lie here next to you, snuggled under a lumpy puffed up bundle of warm duvet and sheets, you nuzzled in the crook of my arm asleep. Wisps of your soft as silk hair flicker under my breath. I don’t want to leave you right now. It’s our time and I have no where …
