When Ian from Pegasus homeopathic said he'd like to collaborate and offered me a complimentary blue box I jumped at the opportunity to work with his product. I first learnt about the Pegasus homeopathic pillules when Tristan was about 6 months old. I was at a weekly moms group talk and Ian visited us and detailed … Continue reading The pegasus homeopathic series. Part 1
Fertility
We spend our early adult years doing everything we can to avoid getting pregnant, then we get married and suddenly the thing you've been so desperate to avoid is now the thing you want more than anything. And you realize that falling pregnant isn't (for some) as easy as you'd initially thought! I've written about … Continue reading Fertility
An emotional letter to myself as a new mom
As we slowly move through the journey to try conceive our 2nd child I feel it's a good time for a little reminder to trust myself. Our mommy instinct is strong and if we just listen to it and cut out all the external noise we will be happier mommies. The below is a letter … Continue reading An emotional letter to myself as a new mom
Co-sleeping
When we bought Tristan home from the hospital he spent the first few nights, in a moses basket, next to my bed. Pretty quickly we realised newborns make a LOT of noise when they sleep and my husband was struggling to sleep through that and me constantly getting up to feed, burp, change nappy so … Continue reading Co-sleeping
Mothers’ guilt
Why do we all have such a tough time with mothers guilt? And why do we experience it so often? This evening we had a wonderful time before bath time with Tristan doing a very funny 'macig sow' aka magic show, he even headed off to bath as soon as I told him it was … Continue reading Mothers’ guilt

Intentional living challenge
Where do I start? Just over a week ago Carly from Mom of Two Little Girls shared an intentionally living challenge on Instagram and challenged us, her followers, to participate. It was a 7 day challenge with a theme for each day. I read her post about it this morning and she totally inspired me … Continue reading Intentional living challenge
Assumption is the mother of all f-ups!
I have a perception, whether it's self induced or via society, that I don't fit into the life I lead. My son is at a private school, we drive a big 4x4, live on a private residential estate and I'm a stay at home mum who doesn't need to bring in an income. We don't … Continue reading Assumption is the mother of all f-ups!
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Many people have heard of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) but few (including myself) actually know what it is. I've heard the term used by both friends and on various blogs and each story is different. And that's because we are all different and so are our bodies. But this is my story... My story actually … Continue reading Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
