“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” – Helen Keller Inner strength and resilience. As women, we often underestimate just how much inner strength and resilience we possess. It often takes some big, unseen or unfathomable situation…
Following on from my last post about plastic waste, I realised that reusable baby wipes were the next thing to get – after all, I’m already washing nappies so why not throw in the wipes while I’m at it? I decided to buy a starter kit from Cheeky Wipes which worked out great for me –…
Playing small seems to be something that doesn’t afflict as many men as it does women. In the main, guys are pretty good at tooting their own horns. But women, not as much. Besides, if we do people assume we’re arrogant, bolshy or think we’re better than everyone. And yeah, if we’re doing it from…
I’m not sure where to start with this. There are plenty of stories out there on blogs about the exhausting and exaperating journey that is infertilty treatment; there are even some pieces about adjusting to motherhood after infertilty treatment has been successful. But my story is a little different. Although I went through 6 failed…
There’s a lot of focus in our society of getting things done, planning ahead, achieving goals. I often wonder if this is because there’s so many September babies and therefore Virgoans (although I guess some could be in Libra is they were Christmas/New Year related). So not doing these things feels kinda counter-intuitive. The bills…
I’ve had to take an extra step back from everything the last couple of days. The cramps are coming and going, and are pretty intense at times. This is bringing up the fear from last pregnancy, when unfortunately there was also bleeding a couple of times. So right now, it’s a case of taking my…
Reducing the plastic waste our household produces is something I started doing quite a few years back – originally with my eco-friendly cleaning business, because I was throwing away LOADS of plastic bottles. However, it’s really come into the public eye recently, and people are trying to step up their game in minimising the amount…
As a girl growing up, you’re often reminded to ‘be nice’, and generally, not to be too much. Too emotional. Too needy. Too intense. Too fierce. Except then you become a mother, and it all rises to the top like froth on coffee. Earthy; like you’ve somehow done this before and were just meant to do it….
Its noticeably lighter in the mornings and evenings, and there as some Actual Real-Life Sunshine. Spring is coming. I’m trying to live more in sync with my Moon journal; and have ‘down-time’ when the Moon is void-of-course. Which is from now until this evening. I still find this stage frustrating. We are so used to…
Holding space is something that seems to feel a lot easier pre-children, but is even more essential for everyone around you once you have had them… Holding space so I can rest my body which is working hard with a short gap between pregnancies Holding space to give my daughter my full attention and connect…
In this post we’re going to briefly cover 5 areas that you should consider adding to your website if you’re serious about expanding your holistic therapy business. It may be that you’re happy with taking however many clients your currently see per week, and a simple ‘brochure’ type website will suffice. However, I see a…
Right, I promised a review of my cloth nappy starter kit once I had it – I’ve now been using it for a few months (Rora is 5 months old already! This goes waaaaaay too quick!); so I’ve kind of got the knack of the whole ‘washable nappy life’ now. Things You Need To Live…
If you run an online business, chances are you’ll use various tools to get things done and save time by doing things efficiently. Remember back in the day when you went to the computer shop, spent like 100 quid on some software and then waited an hour whilst you installed it off a CD? Nowadays…
A bit of a gap since my last post, but hey, it wasn’t two years this time… Anyway, Lots Of Things have been going on. The main one is baby-shaped and goes by the name of Aurora. She was born by C-section at only 34 weeks as I had PPROM and Placenta Previa, and the…
