When Do We Need Help with Our Mental Health?

So I'm feeling down. Like really down. Like I couldn't give a crap about anything, and just want to hide somewhere on my own. And yet it is killing me that my house is a mess and I have so much I'm supposed to be doing. But I just can't be arsed to do it. … Continue reading When Do We Need Help with Our Mental Health?

Immerse Myself in Health

I have decided to or realised that I need to, I'm not sure which, immerse myself in health and fitness if I want to stay focused. I know that some people think that it is better be more balanced and not get obsessed with something. That is fine if you are able to keep yourself … Continue reading Immerse Myself in Health

March – My Month of Gratitude!

I love gratitude, and giving thanks for all that we have, but as with everything I have great intentions and very little follow through. I have bought gratitude journals, diaries, tried starting a tradition of writing what we are grateful/thankful for with the kids every night, so many different ways I have tried to incorporate … Continue reading March – My Month of Gratitude!

Taking a break this morning

This last week has been crazy. I've had so much on, I've been super productive with my planning and organising and also fitting in my walks for my leg!

I don't know why, I suppose I have always been well able to take care of myself so I tend not to rely or depend on other people (except my husband). I didn't actually realise that until about five or six years ago … Continue reading Depending On Others

I have come to realise that my mental health is definitely linked to two different factors - my home and my body size. By my home I mean the mess and disorganisation. These bother me hugely these days. I was in a friends house last weekend and her house is beautiful, fully finished and fully organised … Continue reading Everybody is different

Take a breath

I've had a very bad morning, kids late to school, Baba Z screaming and throwing everything off the table and counters and around the rooms - everything has gone wrong. I have recently been trying to take a deep breath to calm down when I can feel myself getting annoyed. But this morning was bad, … Continue reading Take a breath

Where to start?

Hi all, There's so much going on that I don't know where to even start! I just know I really want to get this blog up and running, but I am being pulled in all directions and therefore not managing to get anything done properly. I have decided that a priority is my house - … Continue reading Where to start?
