This is survivorship...

It's been a difficult start to 2026. Since the beginning of the year, I've been caught up in phone calls, tests, and appointments. This is no clickbait piece, I'll tell you now upfront that I

Today over on the blog, I'm asking whether we can normalise not taking HRT?

I think it's great that menopause and perimenopause is now a conversation. A regular, high profile conversation. It seemed to be an unspoken thing that fifty per cent of us deal with, and now it's

There's a lot happening Behind the Scenes at the moment...

Today I thought it'd be good to share a Behind The Scenes with you.  It's been a while since I shared what's happening here. Those things that are going well, not so well, and what

Looking into those next steps...

I shared last month about school getting more serious now, with my daughter in Year 11. Since then, we've been to a couple of Sixth Form open evenings, one at my son's school and one

School's getting a bit more serious now...

The kids have always worked hard at school, they've always been good students. But I do think school's getting a bit more serious now. At least it is for my girl.  She's in Year 11

It's , so a few thoughts on Breast Cancer Survivorship...

It's October, you probably know that it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Everywhere is pink. I know some breast cancer survivors hate this month, and I get it. I know some breast cancer survivors do all

We've been back for a week now, so I'm looking back on our East Coast US trip and sharing a little with you...

We are back from our East Coast US trip, and I already want to go back!  I had quite a few questions over on Instagram while I was away, so I thought I'd share more

Being an auntie is...

Being an auntie is such a privilege. I know that not everyone gets to do this, I know we can't all be aunties or uncles, and I don't take it for granted. I am very

And that's Year 10 & Year 7 done...

And that's Year 10 and Year 7 done. I can't believe I'm writing that already, this year has absolutely flown by. It feels like we were just getting back from California, and we're here already,

Try a little bitesize movement

Have you moved yet today?  It needn't be a full gym session, just a little moving about.  Bitesize movement is better than being sedentary, and bitesize movement is so easy to get into. Why? Because

Ae you surrounding yourself with happy stuff?

Ask yourself this question now, are you surrounding yourself with happy stuff? Is it an easy yes or no? It's probably somewhere in between for most of us.  Everyone has good and bad days, but
