Sharing my new normal type of motherhood
I'm not really sure how to put this year's feelings into words. It's 4 days before Christmas and this year's festivities have been flooded with heartache and the fact that we will always have 1 of our children missing from our arms. She will never be here to help put the baubles on the tree [...]
This title sure sounds narcissistic to me, conceited even? But I do and I'm kind of lost at where to go next with it. For the last 4 years, I've been trying to cope with the death of our baby girl in any way I could. Most of them probably broke every "Get over grief" [...]
I’ve been feeling a bit off lately - like that feeling you get when the grief wave hits but this felt different somehow - I couldn’t work out why until I realised that subconsciously this would be the year our wee Francesca would be starting school this week. And it hit me like a ton [...]
I have really missed writing in my wee blog but I just couldn’t find my way back to it amongst the covid sh** show that had been the last couple of years. Like many others dealing with the loss of their child I had to work out a way to cope with the darkness and [...]

This weeks Follow Friday blog will be dedicated to bringing some awareness around the unbelievable selfless work that these charities continue to do each day. Some work under the radar with people never knowing just how invaluable these unsung heroes really are to our communities. They help hundreds of people , maybe even thousands , [...]
As I write this i'm, well, i'm struggling. I'm struggling with the sadness of the thought of what's to come because we're moving from the home we love and once thought was going to be our "forever happy home". This happy little home we bought full of smiles and hopes for our families future is [...]
I thought I would do something a little different for this weeks #FOLLOWFRIDAY and do a blog on it instead of my usual insta stories. I love the idea behind the Follow Friday tag as when its done with all the best intentions it can really help connect you with the most aspirational accounts. Recently [...]
