This month I set myself the challenge of remembering to take my medication every day. I only have to take two tablets a day (unless I am bad, in which case I can take up to six) so I really should have no problem  remembering, right? Right. Except I do. I have a baby and [...]

So here we are. The beginning of another month, and time for another Personal Challenge. After last month’s awesome success (I am still grinning), this month my personal challenge is going to be a LOT less physical and really not quite as exciting. I have Ulcerative Colitis. I was diagnosed in 2005, and since then [...]

Little M is now five weeks old. Wow, where did that time go? Anyhoo, over the last five weeks, several important facts about newborns have come wooshing back into my sleep deprived mind. Because I am an incredibly public spirited and generous person, I thought I would share these with you. You are welcome. Your [...]

Life is a bit crazy around here generally. Even more so the last few weeks what with a brand spanking new baby and everything. I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to get myself motivated to do even the littlest thing get things done at the best of times. Nowadays, just getting [...]

A couple of weeks back, I was sent a freedom Babe breast feeding cover to try out.

I am a calm person. Mostly. At least on the outside. But every now and then, the bubbles of panic that I usually keep hidden inside pop up to the surface. Sometimes I don’t even know they are there until they burst out. Once they’re out, that makes me wobble even more. Panic panics me. [...]

During the week my alarm goes of at 6am, and after a couple of snoozes I get up at about 6.15. On Wednesday morning, I stumbled, bleary eyed, into the bathroom ready to have a shower and start my day. Only… For some reason the shower wouldn’t work. Nothing I did could make water, hot [...]

Eeeep!

Having survived the trauma of last week’s incident, I have been ultra vigilant when stepping into the kitchen. Little did I know that I also need to turn up my careful dial in the bathroom. Last night, having done my teeth before bed like a good girl, I replaced our electric toothbrush on its charger. [...]

I don’t do cooking. I mean, I can cook (and occasionally I do), and wouldn’t starve if left to my own devices, but cooking just isn’t fun for me. Luckily for me my man likes cooking and is pretty damn good at it too. My boyfriend goes away a lot for work, and it has [...]
