I read an article the other day which mentioned Dr Faye Begeti, otherwise known as The Brain Doctor. Absolutely love her tips and guidance on subjects like sleep, habits and mental health. There are so many people struggling right now with mental health issues brought on by this pandemic. I feel incredibly thankful that I… Continue reading The Brain Doctor

Bedtime
Yesterday was a hectic day, so I didn't sit down and chill until about 9pm, and by then I was knackered and looking forward to my bed. We have a super king size...7 foot by 6 foot. I bought the frame for 150 quid on eBay back in 2016 because the owner had moved into… Continue reading Bedtime
Being Organised
I spoke briefly on the 1st of January about The Organised Mum method, but I cant tell you what an impact it has had on my day to day life. To be honest, I don't think you really need the book, you can get everything you need from the web site, following Gemma on Instagram… Continue reading Being Organised
Not Quite Marilyn…
My daughter bought me some Lush stuff for Christmas, so yesterday I used the bath bomb to have a soak. Since I've been taking the CBD oil (which I can HIGHLY recommend by the way) I've found that on a good day, I can actually get in and out of the bath unassisted. It's a… Continue reading Not Quite Marilyn…
A Night Out With Friends
Yesterday I had an evening out with my writing group. Ok...I own up...it wasn't actually a night out, not like we normally do once a week. What I really did was go to the Motorhome for a couple of hours and attend our writing group meeting via Zoom 🤣 It worked really well and was… Continue reading A Night Out With Friends
A Year Of Mindfulness
For Valentines day this year, my husband bought me this... Yesterday, I sat down with a cup of Ginger tea and had a look through some of the daily challenges. Theres some good ideas in this jar. Each little card is for a whole weeks worth of challenges. I'm not sure that i'll be able… Continue reading A Year Of Mindfulness
Kon Mari…Or Trying To
Thanks to storm Dennis we've spent most of the weekend trapped in the house (literally!) where the driveway flooded and getting to our car involved wading through 6 inches of water (in places). The poor Puggies have only been for a couple of short walks as the lanes are flooded and being Pugs, they only… Continue reading Kon Mari…Or Trying To
Time to Hydrate
I've never been a huge fan of water, preferring tea, coffee and Pepsi as a way to hydrate. But, i'm fully aware that I should drink more water. I even have a collection of water bottles lol. I know all the benefits of being hydrated, so i've been trying to have a glass every morning… Continue reading Time to Hydrate
Journal Therapy
I am a journal junkie... I've been writing in a notebook almost daily since 2005 when I discovered The Artists Way by Julia Cameron (which I can highly recommend btw, along with all of Ms Cameron's books). One of the main tools from the Artists way is a concept known as "Morning Pages". Three pages… Continue reading Journal Therapy
Adopting Routines Part 2
Sticking to the "Morning" routine has been quite easy, but developing an evening routine is proving far more difficult. One of the things I wanted to implement was a phone/laptop ban after 8pm. I've seen various articles online saying you should turn your phone off 1 hour before bed (like this one). And I totally… Continue reading Adopting Routines Part 2
