‘No. Nadda. Nope. Nyet!’ I hear you reply! And normally I’d be right there with you. I HATE it when you are bamboozled into visiting a recently vacationed/married/babied friend; expecting cake and a natter, maybe even some blow-by-blow accounts, TOPS… and then, before you’ve even had time to make up an urgent excuse to leave,… Continue reading Wanna see my snaps?
For about ten years now, I have felt horribly trapped. In a situation and marriage of my own making, and in a situation that there seemed no way out of. Until now… Something changed this Spring.

This is Vicki Dennis. I came across her story on a community facebook page, and was so moved that I offered to share her letter on my blog. I asked Vicki to send me a photograph to make her letter more personal. What a pretty girl she is! And how tragic that she spends… Continue reading Vicki’s Open Letter
Dear Saturday, can you please explain these few things to me: When I decide to clean the bathroom on a whim, why is it that I only remember to wear rubber gloves at the last minute? Why is it that the minute I put bleach down the loo, every member of my family urgently needs… Continue reading Saturday Lament

. What makes a mother a ‘Mum?’ I’m thinking now… Is it the endless hours spent explaining how? The scolding, the nodding, the holding? The wiping, the hugging, the folding? Is it when your child came home beaming, looking to you for the approval they’re seeking? When they take their… Continue reading What makes a Mother?
