I've heard it said, that a woman's mind is like Heathrow airport. Lots of arrivals and departures. Planes at Heathrow. Thoughts for the woman's mind. At Heathrow they have planes arriving and departing every minute. We have as many if not more thoughts! This morning as I was brushing my teeth, I had a weird… Continue reading No Fly Zone

Converge
Yesterday, having arrived early to pick up my boys from school, I opted to get out of the hot stuffy car and sit outside on a grassy bank in front of the school to await the school bell. From my vantage point I watched other parents arriving to collect their children from school. There were the fitness gear ones, the ones… Continue reading Converge
The Excuse Onion
If you've arrived from the Hustle Facebook Page, welcome to my blog! I've decided to be brave, honest and vulnerable on my blog with my Hustle of losing weight 🙂 Hope it encourages you as much as it commits me to my goal! Excuses are like onions, I've decided. Why? They both have layers and layers. You peel off… Continue reading The Excuse Onion
The Power of One….Mosquito!
I had a terrible night sleep. If the humidity and heaviness of the air wasn't bad enough my room was also invaded by a powerful fiend....the mosquito.Having stirred, my ears registered the faint hum of the mosquito which got louder as it neared me. I tried to ignore it but couldn't. Light was turned on… Continue reading The Power of One….Mosquito!
I’ve got my glasses on!
It is probably no surprise that the inspiration for this blog entry comes from a Wiggles song. With a 2 year old who is absolutely devoted to all things Wiggles my days always include Wiggles music. Not surprisingly the tunes and the lyrics then tend to get stuck in my head. Yesterday it was the Propeller, today though it was "I've got my… Continue reading I’ve got my glasses on!
The Best of Times
They say that Mothers of little boys are busy from son up to son down. As a mum to 3 boys, I'd have to say that rings true! One of the mottos that I live by is Keep Calm and Carry on. Meant for British citizens as a strategy in world war II, it has meaning… Continue reading The Best of Times
Times & Seasons
If I want to know what season it is, I just have to look out my window at the Oak tree in my front garden. This Oak tree embraces the seasons with unashamed boldness. In Autumn it sheds leaves with such ferocity that neighbours down the street are also sweeping up the leaves that have… Continue reading Times & Seasons
Lost & Found
Yesterday just as we were due to depart for school, my 6 year old alerted me to the fact that he couldn’t find his prescription glasses. His brand new, expensive glasses. My mind raced to when I last saw them – panic – when we were at soccer training. Suddenly my day changed. I switched… Continue reading Lost & Found
The Hiding Place
The other day my 2 year old and I made a hut out of sheets and blankets. We crawled into the snug place with cushions and had a delightful time. Whispering to each other, singing, cuddles. The sounds of the household - brothers playing downstairs, dad working in the garage, the washing machine going, seemed… Continue reading The Hiding Place
The Power of Kindness
When it comes to impacting our world, kindness doesn't strike me as the main tool of choice. Healing - Yes! Generosity - Yes! Prayer - Yes! Kindness to me felt like the fourth musketeer who didn't quite make the cut. Or the apple bulks up the salad and left over as everyone else has somehow managed… Continue reading The Power of Kindness
