Wow! Can you believe we are already into April? I’m honestly annoyed at the fact I have gone so long into 2022 without writing more on this blog! There has been a lot that has happened in my life since I last wrote and I will fill you, dear reader, in with all of theContinue reading “April Already?!”

2021 Christmas Message
Whew, what a year! I’m currently writing this on my first day off for the holidays, sitting at the table in our living room, our Christmas tree to the right of me. It’s such a relief to finally have some time (and a clear head) to sit down and write again on my blog. IContinue reading “2021 Christmas Message”
My Struggle with IBS
For as long as I can remember, I have had digestive issues. The symptoms have fluctuated and changed over the years, but it is good to finally get some answers and help with management. I’m sharing my struggle with you for you to learn about how complicated IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is and to helpContinue reading “My Struggle with IBS”
Update
I’ll admit it – it has been a while since I have written on here! I’m sure some of you were wondering where my weekly “Friday Foods” posts were and why I wasn’t writing as much. There is a lot that has happened since I’ve last posted, so I will give a quick update! MyContinue reading “Update”
Book Brief #2
Last week, I made a trip to Russell Square to visit London’s largest second-hand bookstore, Skoob Books. As I walked down the stairs, into a basement filled with books, I felt right at home. Bookshelves were lined with all of the genres. From sci-fi to music, it was all there. I bought some books andContinue reading “Book Brief #2”
Let’s Talk Anxiety

Anxiety has been something that has gnawed at me for years, but I’m really coming to terms with it only recently within the year. I’m working on being more openContinue reading “Let’s Talk Anxiety”
Spring
This past Saturday was the first day of Spring! So long, Winter! Hello, sunny and rainy days! Hello, flowers blooming! Hello, fresh starts! Soon here in the UK, our clocks will “spring forward” and the days will grow longer. With more sunny days, I can feel my mood becoming a little lighter. Yes, there areContinue reading “Spring”
Motherhood
“You know, in at least a few years, this day will be for you,” my husband, Peter, said to me. Yesterday, here in the UK, was Mother’s Day. That statement made me feel weird. To think about being a mother on Mother’s Day feels like a foreign concept. It also made me feel old. IContinue reading “Motherhood”
Book Brief #1
This morning, I woke up with a message from my mom asking if I wanted some books. She had picked up some from Half Price Books (one of my favourite stores in America). Of course I said yes. I thought it was funny. Little did she know I was planning on writing about books forContinue reading “Book Brief #1”
March
I can’t believe it is already the third month of 2021! It seems like just yesterday I was writing my post about the month of February. If the rest of the year could take it’s time (but get closer to lockdown ending!), that would be fantastic. I’ve decided to label this March as the monthContinue reading “March”
