This has been such a journey……...and I am so grateful for all of it. I'm grateful for not only the highs but all of the lows, the worry that made me investigate and learn more about my birth options, the doubt that pushed me to be unapologetically me and use all of my...

It happened........ id just given birth to our gorgeous little bundle and I wondered......had I torn? .

So I asked..... 'how is everything? is there a tear at all?'. The answer was yes.

The consultant came to check and it was confirmed it was a 3rd degree (3A) tear. Nex...

We have made it to 1 week. TODAY Pearl was 1 week old and we as a family of 4 were

1 week old. . The journey to this 1 week milestone has been full of hormones, emotions, pain, worry, LOVE and awe!!!

Things don't always turn out exactly as you had envisioned……. Weather you believe in fate, destiny, 'everything happens for a reason', or just plain old…...that’s the way that the cookie crumbled you have probably experienced a time when things changed and actually it...

The email came through today with the link to see if Little Lotus Baby was a FInalist in the SPIRIT category of the M Power Awards....... I felt sick as I really didn't think I was going to see my little name in the list. I had been working really hard on thinking posi...

Walking to Sainsburys today and Ren was desperate to go into WHSmiths..... I thought to my self 'Not sure what this is all about, but I could check if the November Issue of OM YOGA Mag is out'?.......Drop to the floor it was there on the shelf with my article as a cove...

🛫🕞 'not many people can say they had a wonderful time traveling' 💖💫 

When I say this I don't mean 'travelling' as in 6 months around the world, use of the word (in my dreams)🌏. No I mean actually getting up at 2.45A.M, to catch a plane that's delayed for an hour an...

I'm so honoured to have been nominated by my peers around the world for this award.......and to have won feels a little surreal! WOW! 

My journey to this point started when I was pregnant with Ren. I was a teacher, i loved my job, my pupils (and their families) and my p...

It's true!! Life is not a race, its not about being 'the winner' its so much more than that. Before becoming a Mum I was running, fast.....like I was in a the 100m race of life. But now I want it to be the opposite of a race.......I want time to sloooooooooow down. Bec...
