Lee Evie writes such beautiful novels. Let me just say that straight off. I recently read the first book in her Promise series called Promise Season, which I loved and talk about here. And so I was super excited to read book 2, Promise Thief (available from 23 October 2020). I was lucky enough to…

It has been such a long time since I read a fiction book, and I must ask myself “Why did I wait so long?”. I have always loved reading, since I was a little girl reading Nancy Drew and Sweet Valley Twins, and historical English fiction in my early twenties. But as a Mum of…

Trust that inner pull. You know, that little voice inside of you that says “just try it”? Or “let’s just see what happens”? That little voice is within me all of the time, but sometimes I am pretty good at ignoring her, and sometimes I even feel that maybe she is gone forever.

I am sitting at my kid’s craft table as I write this blog. A little lost for words and I don’t really know what to write. But I feel I need to write. Today we as parents can choose to keep our children home until the end of term. The schools remain open for now…

I have had an aha moment. A mindset shift. A glimpse of a different perspective. You see I have had a on/off relationship with to do lists, schedules, routines and diary management. I like the idea of them, I try to use them, but I just forget about them after a couple of weeks. And…

Old beliefs. Were they even mine to begin with or were they ingrained from societal beliefs? I’m talking about…
