Dreamer with a day job
This morning I went to the dentist for a check up. Not a big deal for most people but this time three years ago I suffered from major dental anxiety and hadn’t been to the dentist for about 16 years. The more I thought about […]
You always hear A LOT about “raising awareness” when it comes to mental health. There are Awareness Weeks and Months galore for various aspects of it, each one distilling the unique experiences of literally millions of people into a catchy hashtag, easily RT’d and as […]
It’s almost not worth me even writing about Trump (for that is the only name he needs, like Madonna, but I’m not sure they’ll be sitting down to dinner together anytime soon). Search Google for ‘Trump’ and it will take half a second to return […]

What started out as your average parenting blog, charting the trials and frequent tribulations of raising two small children, is now your average whatever-I-fancy-writing-about blog as I continue to raise two slightly bigger children, juggling family life and the 9-5 daily grind with limited success at either.
