A Little About Me

I’m Becky Connolly, Christian, mum to my little man, Reuben, and married to Sean. We live in rural North Yorkshire, sharing our home with our house rabbit.

If you’ve heard the term being a “spoonie”, that’s me. I have generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) and some chronic conditions: fibromyalgia, joint hypermobility disorder, hypothyroidism, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and Raynaud’s, which mean a varying degree of pain and fatigue on a daily basis.

I enjoy singing, making jewellery, sea glass hunting, cross-stitching, animals and wildlife, shopping, bargain hunting and days out with the family at places like historical properties, the beach and nature parks.

The Blog

Honestly Becky is a personal motherhood lifestyle blog sharing my first hand experience and advice on parenting little ones, health (including chronic pain and mental health), fashion and lingerie.

Here I like to share my thoughts, hopes and fears on everything from being a mum to living with daily pain, alongside family oriented content and product reviews.

The blog began life as Becky’s Boudoir, which ran for a decade since conception in February 2011 (originally a Blogger ‘Blogspot’ blog before migrating to self hosted BeckysBoudoir.com Spring 2014) to February 2021. Becky’s Boudoir was predominantly a lingerie blog for the fuller busted figure, which gained notable recognition in the intimate apparel industry and lingerie community.
