I see a girl…

I have this photo on my phone of Eva. I spread the apps out across my phone so that there’s a screen with just one app and I can swipe through the screens until I reach her face, free from apps in the way. It’s the face I see before… Continue reading

What Lifting Has Taught Me

The majority of my life I have battled with my brain to becoming skinnier, until the last few years I had never pushed to become stronger. The number on the scale was still seen as the ultimate goal.

The Lowdown: Burning Coffee

  The Lowdown: Burning Coffee Can you burn coffee by adding the water first? Does it taste better when adding the milk first?

Ideas for Supporting Parents of a Preterm Baby

Following the birth of our son at just 32 weeks gestation we were so lucky to have amazing support from friends and family. I honestly don’t know how we could have got through the first 6 weeks without them. With one baby in hospital and a toddler at home, it was a seriously tough time. […]
