I came across a quote this week that said “Follow your passion; it will lead you to your purpose.” I thought this was brilliant, as just the night before I had gotten so passionate about something, I could not stop talking about it. My mind was going a million miles an hour and I kept …

I aten’t dead
Greetings! I know it’s Friday & I’ve already missed a week (😱), but this post is going to be short & sweet. I’m just popping by to say I’m still here, and while there’s not much to read, there is still much going on. Too much, in fact. I have several things brewing, just waiting …
Time to recharge!
My faithful laptop popped this week 😞. The usual tricks have not yet brought it back to life, and the next step is battery removal. Having looked it up, several bits needs to be removed first, & no one is brave enough for that sort of DIY at the moment. So, this blog is brought …
Make your own stock
Greetings! This week the kids are home for half term, so even though I have tried something new I can’t wait to tell you about, typing time is short. (A bit like childhood – my baby is walking! *cue “Sunrise, Sunset” in the background.) So instead, I’ll share a quick recipe with you. I say …
Walk this way
This week my daughter’s nursery decided to participate in Walk to School Week. They turned it into a great “Active Week”, where they learnt more about getting active and eating right. I love that the children are being taught the benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle, so I thought I would do a post as …
What does “Mental Health” mean to you?
Forward: I started writing this last night, and just needed to finish up in the morning. While the perfect opportunity arose, an emotional encounter left me in a frame of mind not fit for writing. Or doing anything really. It was ridiculously ironic (& annoying) considering the subject of my post. For the rest of …
Vaccines Work
When I first started sharing essential oils, people would often ask me: “Do you vaccinate your children?” I thought this was a random question. What about our conversation lead people to think I would not get my children immunised? As time has passed however, I have seen that there is a large group of people …
Bags are for life
(Or at least for 173 uses) Inspired by a recent challenge to tackle your scariest places, we tacked under the stairs this week. Or maybe it’s more realistic to say that everything was pulled out & I was made to face my fears. Whatever. The unsurprising discovery, is that I have a bag problem. Not …
When Life Gives You Lemons…
It’s time to make lemonade! Does the internet need another lemonade recipe? Probably not. Am I going to share my own one anyway? Of course! Lemons are a wonderful fruit, and they are packed with goodness, most notably vitamin C. They are excellent for your respiratory system, as well as digestion. I love lemon drinks. …
Hoppy Easter!
Greetings! I hope those of you who have managed to have a short (or long) break before the Easter weekend have enjoyed it. We’ve had the kids off school and it’s been great getting out and enjoying the sunshine (and hail…). I feel grateful that I live in a place that is never too far …
