Journey to 68!
I’m not a new year’s resolution kind of person. In fact, I always joke that the only new year’s resolution that I’ve stuck to was the one where I decided that I was no longer going to have one. That being said, in this year, I need to lose about 12kg to be at my... Continue Reading →
January 2021…Here we go!
Happy New Year 2021! Can’t believe that we’re already at the end of the second but better late than never, right?

So, we actually live in a... Continue Reading →

Back at it, with a big difference!
My account of my first week back at work as a new working mum. Day 1 Somehow, managed to get up at 5.30am *insert shocked face here* despite having probably about 4 hours of sleep in total. Day got off to a smooth start because I got the bright idea to pack all our bags... Continue Reading →
Off to work I go! Well, on Monday…
After one glorious year off, it is now time to go back to work. I have had a lot of people ask me how I feel and to be honest, I have mixed feelings about this event. There was never any doubt that I was going to return to work. But a little part of me... Continue Reading →
