Reasons to be Thankful for Hitting 40

January 11, 2022

It’s not all about the midlife crisis! Here’s a list of reasons why turning 40 is a good thing. It’s my birthday next month and it’s the big 4-0. I’m not quite sure how it’s happened but apparently you don’t stay a thirty-something forever. (And […]

Grey Hair Despair : The day I realised I was the Look of Anxiety

November 11, 2019

A few months ago I decided to go grey. I wasn’t talking about getting a trending new hair colour or going for some highlights – I meant “going grey gracefully” and embracing my natural grey hairs. It hasn’t been easy, since today I realised I […]

October 9, 2018

[TRIGGER WARNING] I don’t wake up thinking, “How can I end my life today?” I don’t hate my life.  In fact, I’m very happy.  I love being a mum, being married, living the middle life.  But time and time again I catch myself in my […]

Parenting Through Anxiety: A Mentally Ill Motherhood

April 7, 2018

For as long as I’ve been a mother I’ve had anxiety.  To me, motherhood and anxiety are one and I don’t see a horizon on this tumultuous sea of worry. People love to tell you that anxiety comes with being a parent.  Mums and dads […]

I’m A Horrible Mum Because Anxiety Makes Me Angry

March 11, 2018

[Trigger Warning] This week was not great.  In fact, many days aren’t that great.  Maybe I’m exaggerating, but when I’ve had a really challenging experience –  my baby has, well, cried and I’ve lost the plot – I can’t help but write the day off […]

10 Ways I’m Treating My Post Natal Anxiety

September 5, 2017

I’m Not Okay and That’s Okay: My Postnatal Anxiety

May 10, 2017

Mental illness can happen to any one, any time – no one is immune.  Yet for some reason mental illness remains a stigma; often mocked and not taken seriously.  Women who have recently given birth are an at risk group vulnerable to post-natal depression, but lack of […]

Inferiority-Popularity Complex | Blogger Problems

November 12, 2015

I wrote this piece about a month ago, that I later decided I wouldn’t post.  This is what I’m like: writing is my therapy.  I go through phases of emotions and big life questioning that I’ll get over and may or may not revisit.  I call it ‘life lethargy’. […]

Depression | Seduction of Melancholy

December 15, 2013

I’m going to be honest with you: I’m not always the smiling the face you see in my pictures.  In fact, many days it’s such an effort being that person that it affects everything I do, right down to creating blog posts.  Sometimes it’s painful […]

When you just wanna say hi and show off a necklace you made but all you can see are the greys you could do with colouring again. 😆

Someone was happy about “skiving” today. 😝 His class was off school because of the teacher strike so a visit to Grandma’s it was! (And a ‘spoons lunch.  Grandma doesn’t live in Wetherspoons. 🤣)

Once Christmas is over, retailers move onto the next big thing - Easter.  Which means it’s a dangerous place for a “rabbity” sort of person like me because everywhere you look you see rabbits (or hares which work for me too). Forgot I saw this in TK Maxx last week.  I was very good and resisted buying it so the next best thing was a “look what I found” selfie.  Honestly, life with me is just full of surprises! 😆😂

The question here is not why am I taking selfies in the church toilets again, but why does my green top look brown? 🧐 

Had a fantastic morning singing on worship again.  You can’t beat that release of giving it all to God, He who is worthy of everything.

Some exciting news!  I’m starting up my own jewellery shop! ✨ 

S E T // A P A R T 
This is my new little venture - handcrafting contemporary jewellery that’s faith-filled and inspirational. 

In quality pure materials from 925 sterling silver to genuine sea glass; hand hammered lettering to hand metal wiring, these pieces will be a treasure and blessing to wear or to gift.

As a perfectionist (and a procrastinator!) it’s taken me a while to bring this to fruition, but here we are, I’m just about there!  My beautiful gift boxes are in the process of being made which I’m super excited about getting back.  I’m not gonna want to let them go! 😂 

So here’s a little glimpse of what I’m doing.  These are the sea glass necklaces but I’m also making Christian pieces with Truth declarations and affirmations on discs, bars and tiny stars. 

So please do give my new jewellery shop your support @setapartjewellery - I’d love you to come along the journey with me.
