Dear Rebecca, So you had an idea to write a love letter to yourself and you have no idea where to start…Do you love yourself? You’re no longer sure. Do you love what you have? Of course you do! You have a house, clothes, electronics and last but certainly not least a happy family. So why
What do I do when I’m not mommin? I am a midwife, and I adore it! Sure it’s challenging at times but I know for me there is no better job in the world. I am a full time midwife and a full time mama, so how does this work? A few months ago it

Guilt Guilt Guilt, oh and Guilt. When you are pregnant everyone tells you how hard it is when you have a baby: the sleepless nights, the feeding, the nappy changing the wanting a minute to yourself to eat a biscuit, a large slice of cake or to inhale a glass of wine. Yes this is
We all feel down sometimes. Stuff happens. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball. We feel all the feels, sometimes for a reason, and sometimes for no good reason at all.
We’re all going to experience this in some form, whether it’s a relationship break-up, the loss of a family member, or the end of a friendship. I may be stating the bleeding obvious here, but heartbreak is upsetting, soul destroying and, well, heart-breaking. But the ‘H’ word can perhaps be seen as a blessing in
