AD – We were sent these products from Balmonds for the purpose of this review. As always all words and opinions are 100% honest and 100% my own. Both the kids and I suffer from dry and sensitive skin. I can use very few skincare products without my skin reacting. And although Little Miss H has mild eczema that she mostly gets in the winter months, Little Mister H suffers terribly with eczema. It is all over his body but…
Trigger warning: This post has references to attempted suicide and overdoses. If you have personal experience of this subject then you may find it triggering. 17 years ago today I took my final overdose. It was one of a number of attempts to commit suicide. But it was the one that changed my life forever. And it is a night that I will never forget. The Night That I Will Never Forget After the overdose, I was taken to the…

It has been less than a month since I last blogged. Although, it feels like longer. I’ve also missed opportunities when I would have normally blogged – World Mental Health Day and Baby Loss Awareness Week. I didn’t intend to take a break from blogging. It just happened. Yet, I’m not surprised it occurred. Taking A Break From Blogging Disillusioned With Blogging I’ve been blogging for over five years and during those years I’ve had many highs and lows. There…
“Tell me why.” “It’s just one of those things.” “It’s pure bad luck.” “Many pregnancies end in miscarriage.” Tell Me Why When a pregnancy ends in baby loss, you desperately want to know the reason why. You look for answers. Why did this heartbreaking event have to happen? How can I stop it happening again? You don’t care what the answer is. You just want someone to tell you why your baby has died. But when no answers come, you…
AD – The Way Home For Wolf by Rachel Bright and Jim Field was gifted to us for the purpose of this review. We adore reading in our household. And our love of books is something that unites us all.

This is the brand new book…
