Healthy Mind, Body and Soul

Heya lovelies! Welcome to my corner of the internet where I vent about everyday life struggles. Today’s post is all about mental well-being… Don’t know about anyone else however I have been feeling incredibly crappy these last few months, not just mentally but physically too. Shifting this baby weight has been a real struggle because …

Mama it’s hard

I haven’t written in a while and for that I don’t really have an excuse! So here it goes… This week has been very difficult emotionally in more ways then one. I am exhausted, mentally and physically drained. Finding the energy in the mornings to get up out of bed to start a new day …

Self-Care or Self-Sabotage

Have you ever convinced yourself to do something in the name of self-care? Such as watch a whole tv box-set and say it was for self-care? We have all been there. Haven’t we?

Happy Monday!

Not that there is a time limit or that you need to rush with that postpartum body, but for me I want to feel good in my own body again. It isn’t because society is telling me I need to, to impress anyone, but because I want to feel like me again! I’m not going …

Give ourselves more credit

Pandemic caused by Covid-19. Our third lockdown in 12 months. I really think we all need to give ourselves more credit for surviving and getting though these really weird and tough times. The world we are currently living in is one we do not recognise. Being restricted to what we can and can’t do for …

Being Positive

As a parent there are just so many ups and downs, so many highs and lows. Recently I have been trying my absolute hardest to keep my positive pants well and truly on but it has been tough, very tough. The world we live in at the moment is hard, it’s relentless and do you …

Frustrated

I feel very frustrated by so many things at the moment especially those that have been taken away from Bailey this year and last. The things that a first time mum would do like toddler groups, play dates and swimming, the normal new mum experiences. I do hate that this has been taken away from …
