I have written before about my suspicions that my brain is perhaps not neurotypical. I think this is the reason that I have struggled with establishing and maintaining regular routines. This in turn has meant that I have strived for this elusive routine for years, thinking that I was deficient in some way because I… Continue reading Elusive routines
When we were putting together the reverse advent calendar box for our local homeless shelter LWS Night Shelter just before Christmas this year, the kiddos and I were talking about how we wanted to do more for charity and the local community in 2022. We planned to make a list of all the ways we… Continue reading A Giving List
When I want to be on top of things, I try to remember to spend a bit of time on Mondays to plan out our meals for the week, writing them up on my weekly planner or in a notebook I keep in the kitchen. When I don't do it, I find that life feels… Continue reading Meal Plan Monday
I am finding my Bullet Journal very helpful in making my days at home feel more purposeful and less aimless. I haven't yet worked it into my school life as the days go by too quickly and a simple to-do list on my laptop or my to-do list pad seems to work well enough. My BuJo… Continue reading Bullet Journal – March Update
When I was really struggling with Austin and wondering why it seemed so much harder than last time (apart from the obvious things like me being older, Austin not being Evelina etc.), I realised that what was making it hard was not being in a routine. I was feeding him every two hours, on demand… Continue reading Living on Purpose
I am taking advantage of a rare bit of time without the children to do some of the many things that I have had to put on the back burner since having Austin. I am writing so infrequently here, I wanted to take a look at the blog and decide how I wanted to proceed:… Continue reading Far From Simple
For someone who is usually only too happy to share her thoughts and feelings, it always catches me off-guard when I realise I have been bottling things up. I can always tell when I am feeling stressed because it shows in my face. Not in my expression. In my actual face. For a few days… Continue reading Currently
I haven’t had a proper think about New Year’s Resolutions yet. I might. But I haven’t yet. They seem to follow the same tune each year so it seems somewhat pointless to rehash the same old wistful optimism that This Year will the year where I eat better, read more, write more, watch less TV and… Continue reading Nurture – My Word for 2016
Being without a fixed abode for a few months and two moves in six months can lead to a feeling of chaos and panic when it comes to our home affairs. Add to that losing our case of personal documents (car records, birth certificates, passports - everything), it's safe to say that I am looking… Continue reading Getting Organised
I am exactly a month late with this as my birthday was a month ago today but my 38 Things list is now done with a few things already crossed off (I do like to make a list with some already completed items on there). I hope I can get through it all this year. I… Continue reading My 38 Things List
