Post Natal Depression

Running for my mental health

April 30, 2018 by Louise 3 Comments

I don’t think I ever realised how my mental health was being sustained by my running until last year. Getting injured in January 2017 turned my life upside down. What I hadn’t expected however was my life to crumble as a result. It turned out that the short twenty minute miles I was squeezing in … [Read more…]

Another tale of a running T-shirt.

May 18, 2017 by Louise 2 Comments

So I have a t-shirt. Well it isn’t a physical thing yet, just a design at the minute but soon after monday it will be a real solid thing that I can wear and you can too. If you want one. They are not for profit, just for fun at the minute and the product … [Read more…]

This notebook will change my life.

May 9, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

Now I love a bit of stationery. New pens, pencil cases, pencils, post it notes. Oh the excitement. But the queen of all stationery for me is the notebook. The new clean crisp pages. Ready for my careful pen strokes, ideas jotted down, experiences recorded, to do lists compiled and neatly crossed off. The possibilities … [Read more…]

Letting my baby years go

April 4, 2017 by Louise 2 Comments

Here we are at the end of week two of the big spring declutter. I’m feeling a bit better this week. Despite being ill and the injury, I achieved a lot last week. Although these two weeks have been about a general sort out to help things run a bit smoother, there has been another … [Read more…]

Day 2, 3 and 4: Fed up by being held back by illness and injury

March 30, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

When I booked these days of annual leave I had big plan. I always have plans. In the past a fortnight like this would see me achieve big things. Once I have the time and the energy I can be pretty determined. I once took off a week and dug over, Top soiled and sowed … [Read more…]

Day 1 of the declutter: The story so far

March 28, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

Here I am in Day 2 of my two week head and home declutter. I started with high aspirations for a major sort out. Sadly three things happened which have immediately caused me to scale back my expectations. Let’s not forget how pointless a plan is, especially in my life. 1) Maybe I’ll just have … [Read more…]

Lacking in mental capacity: life overload

March 27, 2017 by Louise 6 Comments

Being a working mummy is tough at times. People tell you how great it is to feel yourself again, have a hot cup of coffee and enjoy using your brain for adult topics. This is all great but sometimes the split life of a working parent can become overwhelming. The two separate compartments become full … [Read more…]

Mother’s Day: Loved to bits

March 26, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

Today it’s Mother’s Day. Happy day to all that are. The weeks that have preceded today have been trying, to say the least. A full on break out of the worst gastroenteritis took place in the Monkey House, lasting almost 10 days. All monkeys and Mr LMR taking their turn to undergo the agony and, … [Read more…]

A Healthy Hibernation: update #1

January 10, 2017 by Louise 1 Comment

I know I only posted the other day but I have been trying since the new year to hibernate healthily. How am I getting on? Well, if I lived alone and could go out when I wanted and no one else ate my food, then things would be better. Still it could be worse. It … [Read more…]

Race 12: A wheeze around the park

December 30, 2016 by Louise Leave a Comment

Due to Christmas frivolity, too much chocolate and cheese and a toddler who has given up on sleep, it has taken me a couple of weeks to get this written. I really wanted to try and do it justice though, as this race has been the final goal for 2016. At times this year I … [Read more…]
