Here is the (sweaty, tired) face of someone who has finalized the edits for her second book, Social media detox for mums. I’ve still got typesetting, legal, promotions, recording for Audible and a million other things to finalise, but I’ll have a cover reveal with a release date soon. Weirdly, this isn’t what I wanted. It’s […]

Something you may not know about me is that I’m rather accident prone. Mind you, I’ve never broken a bone and I’ve never gone to the emergency department or anything. I might have strong bones, but I’m klutzy. If you’re of the generation who remembers the Baby Sitter’s Club books, you might remember there was a character […]

This week, while scrambling for yet another fun summer holiday activity, I suggested to the kids that we could have an ‘ice cream bar’ on the weekend. As in, we put out some ice creams and toppings on the bench and they could build a sundae. My littlest one thought I said ‘ice cream bath’, as in we’re going to eat ice cream in the […]

I got a beehive for Christmas. I have a full bee keeping suit and everything. What I don’t have (yet) is any idea what I’m doing. Oh, and I don’t have bees.

A love letter to myself two years ago It was New Year’s Eve 2019. Also, my anniversary. I remember how frazzled I felt. I got a gold sparkly manicure only to pick it all off by the end of the day! After two years of working on a course with lots of delays, I was […]

This week, I want to encourage you to realise you did more in 2021 than you think. To reflect beyond hyper masculine oriented goals and lists of achievements. Here’s a few of mine. Celebrated my dog’s 14th birthday.  After a year of health scares and thinking she wasn’t going to make it, this was huge. […]

There is no one like you, even if another person has exactly the same DNA I feel like when I started a relationship with an identical twin it heightened my ability to really, truly ‘see’ people as individuals. Every micro expression, every quirk, every little detail which defined my boyfriend (now husband) from his brother. […]

My first book, More Than a Healthy Baby, has been out for 12 months now…here’s 12 things I’ve learned (this is a long-ish read!) 1.    No one will market your book better than you because no one knows it or cares about it like you do. 2.    In saying that, there’s limits to how much authors can plug their […]
