The return of the last runner

October 6, 2019 by Louise Leave a Comment

Today my blog renewed and I also ran my first 5k for a very long time. I know it has been quiet for a while and I’ll be honest I haven’t been happily frolicking in a Pinterest perfect life. I mean who does? Regardless here I am starting over again. As I ran today I … [Read more…]

Food for thought

February 18, 2018 by Louise 1 Comment

Just because it looks easy on instagram it really isn’t. Especially not when the monkeys are about.

Spaghetti head

October 30, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

I’m a mess. My brain is like a bowl of spaghetti. A big jumbled tangle of thoughts and feelings all leading nowhere. I would love to separate them all out and straighten them one by one. Observe them and understand them. Then chose to keep or discard them. This is what I thought Mindfulness would … [Read more…]

The badly timed poo

August 12, 2017 by Louise 4 Comments

Take cover. We’ve started potty training number 3! Wonderfully, just as she embarks on her terrible twos with great enthusiasm. Before I became a parent I knew there was going to be poo but no one prepares you for the amount or the length of time the poo dealings continue. You would think that once … [Read more…]

An 11th Junior-Parkrun: Well done Middle Monkey

July 18, 2017 by Louise 2 Comments

One of my goals this year, before injury, was to get my older monkeys running. They are naturally outdoorsy and always full of energy that needs burning off for a happier and more peaceful life. The plan was Junior-Parkrun. Every Sunday, 9am an organised 2k run in a park a short drive from our house. … [Read more…]

Team Mummy Duathlon

June 23, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

One of the things I never truly appreciated before I became a parent was the need to find solidarity with other parents. From those first tentative, sleep deprived steps into the baby groups, to the first time you hold a little hand into the school yard. The importance of making new connections with those around … [Read more…]

Come on monkeys let’s get our heads-together

April 22, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

Have you ever considered the mental health of your monkeys alongside their physical health? My goals this year include running for my monkeys, with my monkeys and sometimes away from my monkeys. The reasons for this is mental health. I want to run for them by setting a good example for them. I want to … [Read more…]

31 Days of Self-Care

August 1, 2016 by Louise 13 Comments

Today is the 1st day of August. We are very much in the thick of the monkey’s summer holidays, and next month I go back to work, after nearly fourteen months at home. With everything going on, I have never been more reminded of the need for self-care. As a mother, at times, when everyone … [Read more…]

It’s a baby girl

July 24, 2016 by Louise 14 Comments

I didn’t know I wanted a baby girl until I got one. As mother to two boys, everyone was obsessed with me having a girl while I was pregnant with BM. Throughout the nine months, I didn’t really think about it either way. Her arrival into our lives however, changed everything. Most of all she … [Read more…]

Lessons from the stories we tell our Monkeys

July 12, 2016 by Louise 2 Comments

Have you noticed that the world is in a bit of a muddle at the minute? From the craziness in the Monkey House to the madness at the top of politics, we are all looking for answers, guidance and a way forward. Instead of looking to the media, politicians or experts, the answer could be … [Read more…]
