If there’s one thing I wish I’d known sooner, it’s how to stop working against my body and start working with it—specifically when it comes to my menstrual cycle. As busy mums, we’re always juggling—whether it’s kids, work, chores, or just trying to keep our sanity intact. The reality is, our energy levels, mood, and […]
Ah, yes, the luteal phase – that lovely stretch of time right before your period starts, when the universe conspires to test just how far your patience can stretch. Spoiler: not very far. The luteal phase is the final phase of the menstrual cycle and can last 10 to 14 days. If you’re anything like […]
The kids are finally at their dad’s for the weekend, and the house is blissfully quiet. No one shouting “Muuuum,” no snack requests, no toys scattered everywhere—just me, my laptop, and the sweet, sweet silence. I’d promised myself I’d relax with a bubble bath or maybe binge-watch something, but instead, I fell into my newest […]

Let’s be real—there was a time when treating the kids to Starbucks felt like an easy, grab-and-go option. But these days? It feels more like I’m buying a fancy meal rather than three simple drinks. As a single mum to two girls, ages 9 and 11, who absolutely adore Starbucks, splurging on their favourite autumn […]
Today, I woke up to a house that was way too quiet. No kids. Just me, the faint hum of the fridge, and the echo of a dozen things I should be doing. You’d think a mum would savour these rare moments of peace, right? Wrong. When you’re used to the constant noise and chaos […]
