I look in the mirror and I’m happy with what I see. My clothing flatters me, my hair looks good, makeup is subtle but makes me look fresher and not as tired as I feel. We’re going to a little party you see, so I’m glad I look good because then I feel good. Fast-forward …
Am I the only one that hates the cold? I am seriously not looking forward to winter, with the icy cold winds, thick jackets that restrict my movements, struggling to keep a wriggly baby warm at night, laundry that doesn’t dry in one day and rushing to get dressed after a shower. Although the only …
WARNING – this post is literally a brain dump. Proceed with caution. When the words won’t come out……. What do you do? No motivation to write but wanting to say something. I think I’m tired. I think I need a holiday. I wish I could just quit my job and find a way to make …
Written in collaboration with LABEL Collections I first heard of LABEL Collections sometime in last year. I jumped onto their website and fell in love with their styles.

We also changed cars 6 times in the last 8 years. 6 times!! The first few cars were second hand vehicles that eventually gave problems that kept having …
It’s that time of year, where the days are warmer, we look forward to some time off from work to spend with our loved ones, we go gift shopping and plan our Christmas meals. The kids page through toy catalogues and make their lists for what they want Santa Claus to leave for them on …
I’m an avid reader but I’ve been lax when it comes to reading to the boys. I always wanted (and still do) to share my love of reading with my children but life and time (and tiredness and and and). I’m either too tired or distracted or, more recently, busy with Harper. Even though I’ve …
Why don’t we like to share the tough or not so good times we’re going through with close friends? Everything is always “fine” or “we’re all good, thanks”, when we’re asked “How are things?”.
