The beautiful, funny & unsightly truths about raising 3 year old twins & an 8 year old singleton… with one on the way!
My nine year old daughter, Bunny, had an eye test 2 years ago. To our surprise, we found out that she needed glasses and very strong ones at that. We also found out, that I needed glasses too! Our journey with glasses, however, was not particularly successful. Bunny was given two pairs of glasses, one pair insured, the […]
Life has been so busy that I’ve not had a chance to write down what’s been happening or how I’ve been feeling. So here’s an update of my 28-32 weeks pregnancy journey. I had my full 4D scan at Hello Baby in Cheltenham. SD came along too and we were both really surprised by just how […]
I’m currently 16 weeks pregnant, but this is the post I wrote when I was 10 weeks pregnant. I am no longer with (or in contact with) SD, but I wanted to share the whole of my pregnancy journey, so I have left it as written at the time and you can follow my story… I’m […]

I was recently challenged by Fish is the Dish to create a recipe using ingredients which I would be sent and would include some type of fish. Many of us don’t get enough fish in our diets and I am a firm believer that omegas carry incredible health benefits. Omega 3 for example, is thought to […]

As many of you know, last year I had Thyroid Cancer, AKA Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma. September is Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month and a new campaign has started called #Scarfies4Thyca . The idea is to take a selfie, wearing a scarf, (selfie + scarf = scarfie) to encourage people to check their necks for abnormal lumps […]
This post is depressing. It’s about depression. Depression that came out of nowhere and seized my life. It took my soul away and I sit here writing this, feeling just a shadow of my former self. It’s a jumbled collection of bad luck and bad feeling. I apologise to all my readers who enjoy my […]
My training for my #EmmasArmy against Cancer campaign has gone somewhat out the window, since my surgery. I wasn’t prepared for that, and supposedly now, I’m not supposed to do any exercise for 4-6 weeks post surgery… which leads to the date of the walk! The thing is… I’ve worked too hard to quit. I’m […]
#EmmasArmy against Cancer is a campaign I am running, in which I am trying to get as many people as possible, to walk at least one section (approx 10 miles) of The Cotswold Way to raise money for Cancer Research UK. #EmmasArmy will walk side by side to fund raise for this. As I am […]
