You Can’t Pour From An Empty Cup
You can’t pour from an empty cup. And don’t I know it. The blog has taken a back seat recently, as I have been trying to get my travel business off the ground, whilst simultaneously being a stay-at-home mum. Let’s start there. I vastly underestimated how difficult being a stay-at-home mum would be. With the…
Why I Broke Up With Slimming Clubs…
If you have been following my blog for a while, you will know I have mentioned my struggles with Binge-Eating disorder before. One of the by-products of that is I am significantly over-weight. Even when my binging is on an even keel, due to my size if I want to lose weight, I have to…
Old Habits Die Hard: Fighting Against Diet Culture in January
If you have any kind of disordered eating, January is probably the hardest month of the year. Keen to play on the insecurities of the general public and to tie in with the ‘New year, new me’, every type of slimming club, weight loss brand and diet product go hard on the advertising and you…

Veganuary: My first Vegan shop of 2019
I am not a stranger to Veganuary, I first did it in January 2016 after being pescatarian for most of 2015 and it was actually easier than I thought it would be, apart from discovering there was pretty much milk hidden in everything! I continued flirting with veganism until I fell pregnant with The Littlest…
Hopes & Goals For 2019
Looking back on my list for 2018, I didn’t get much done that I wanted to. But 2018 was quite frankly, a whole pile of crap. It was easily the worst year I have had in a long time. I battled with a quite severe bout of depression, which in turn made my binge-eating disorder…
Boxing Day Sales
I am ashamed to admit it, but I am a total Boxing Day Sales reduction vulture. Although personally I think shops should remain closed on Boxing Day, the lure of amazing smelling bath bombs and half price children’s clothes leaves me a sailor to a siren. I first discovered how amazing the sales could be…
Planning and Hosting a Halloween Party for Pre-Schoolers
I have always loved Halloween, it always involved dressing up and either going out-out or heading to a house party. Naturally when kids came along, my plans had to adapt too, but the love for Halloween is still there! Fortunately we have moved to an area where families seem to love it as much as…
How To Tackle Seasonal Affective Disorder
It’s October – yay! One of my favourite months of the year, but it also means as the nights draw in, my seasonal affective disorder (SAD) creeps in. My love for the festive season usually pulls me through till December, but January and February are the absolute worst. My GP suggested I may have seasonal…
Beating The Black Dog…
So for the past couple of months I dropped off the radar, which so early on in my blogging project, was disappointing! But my mental health had to come first and it took a nose dive considerably about March. When I started to feel crappy in about October, I put it down to my usual…
