My Top 9 5 Minute Self Care Ideas
Sundays. Apparently this is the day of rest. I say bulls**t to that, though, because Sundays are anything but restful in our house! It *should* be restful in some way, because we need to recharge for the week ahead and all its going to bring, but very rarely does that happen. So I’ve compiled a…

Finding our way with a HSC
So I have made it no secret that I truly believe children’s behavior ALWAYS has a reasoning behind it… They never act out because they’re a**holes (not my words btw)….

The new year, new me bullsh*t
“New year, new me” is the chant of so many during the build up to new year…. It’s a phrase that has repeatedly annoyed me – I have no reason to dislike it so much, but it’s waaaaaaaaay up there with “holibobs” and “Bae”.
