17 Feb Ten minutes
Mom guilt is a real life thing and I feel like, for me, it’s got worse over the past year since our first lockdown and working from home has become the new normal. It’s like two worlds have blurred into one and it’s a fine...

02 Feb Be a beginner
Last week my son started reading. Actual words. I had one of those mom moments when I thought ‘how can we be here already?!’ as I listened to them learning the words with their teacher on the online Zoom class. We then had to practice...
26 Jan Planting what matters
For so long I’ve dreamed of having a herb and veggie garden. The kind like you see in the movies. The kind that I can walk out my kitchen door and pick fresh herbs for the risotto or leaves and veg for a lunchtime salad. ...
12 Jan Same, same but different
Have you gone through something you’ve gone through before, but it’s different somehow? Like when you order your favourite pizza toppings in a different restaurant and although the ingredients are exactly the same, it’s just not the same? Or when you arrive at your regular...

28 Apr First Times
“When we name hard things, it doesn’t give them power, it gives us power.” - Brene Brown We can’t talk about courage without talking about Brene Brown and her work. This podcast is definitely one worth listening to! When we name our “FFT’s”, we can: 1. Normalise it 2....
25 Apr The Power Pose
I love finding short and interesting TED Talks. This is one of those! The science behind the "power pose". Did you know that our body language says more that our actual words do? About 55% of what we say is with our body language, 38% is...
25 Apr Banana and pear muffins
These semi-healthy muffins are always a win! They freeze really well, so I usually keep half in the fridge (if they last more than five minutes!) and freeze the rest for lunchboxes or snacks. INGREDIENTS 1 cup flour 3/4 cup oats 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed 2 Tbsp chia seeds 1 tsp...
