Parenting tweens is like stepping into a world of chaos, comedy, and unpredictability. Those magical years when your sweet little kids transform into opinionated, TikTok-obsessed, eye-rolling enigmas can test even the most patient parent. Add social media into the mix, and you’re not just raising kids -you’re managing tiny PR disasters who think “cringe” is […]
Today was a tough one. Our little guinea pig, Latte, passed away this morning. We only had him since July, but it’s wild how attached you can get to something so small in such a short time. He quickly became part of our routine – his little squeaks, his endless munching on veggies – and […]
Ok, so today was a tough one. I broke up with my partner of 20 months. Twenty months of daily conversations, texts, and shared moments, all gone just like that. We never met in person, but that doesn’t make the hurt any less real. It’s a virtual breakup, yes, but the heartbreak feels just as […]
Parenting is already a wild ride, but when you throw Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) – commonly known as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) – into the mix, life can feel like you’re holding on by the edge of your fingernails.

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 […]
Co-parenting can be a chaotic mess on its own, but toss in three dogs, two kids, and the smallest car possible, and it’s a total circus. While he’s off on a business trip, I’m left not only with the kids but also his two dogs—and let’s be real, I love them. But my old dog? […]
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 […]
Here we go again—another weekend where the house is quiet, no kids, and I should be embracing the me time. Instead, what do I do? Revert back to a damn teenager. My daughters go to their dad’s on the weekends, and every single time, I feel a little lost. It’s like the second they’re out […]
