Running away from life

March 18, 2018 by Louise Leave a Comment

When life gets on top of you sometimes you just have to run away from home.

It’s time to keep getting stronger

February 25, 2018 by Louise Leave a Comment

Almost exactly one year ago myself and Mr LMR went away for a night away from the monkeys. Tonight we are doing it again. A lot has happened in that year and the contrast is amazing. However reflecting on what was at times a pretty miserable 2017 has shown me how much stronger I am … [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…]

Recovery starts in the brain and the body

August 6, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

Have you ever felt like you have fallen to the bottom of your 'To Do List'? Or even fallen off it? I recently realised that, despite what I thought, I was not giving me the time I really deserved. The physical injuries I have sustained over the last few months have been testimony to this … [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…]

Injury Limbo and Lost Identity

June 30, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

At the beginning of 2017, there was a plan. In fact there were a few plans. They were good and exciting plans. Then I got injured and the plans went on hold. Then the injury turned out to be much worse than expected so the plans were abandoned. For this year at least. So I … [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…]

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…]

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…]

A plan! There was a plan? What happened?

February 9, 2017 by Louise 4 Comments

I had a plan, like I have many plans. The goals were set, the tactics and sections all decided upon. The blog posts were about to be written and motivation was high (despite it being January). Then the plan went wrong. The wheels fell off in the first bend. Well maybe two wheels at first. … [Read more…]
