Mum is everyone’s personal secretary; but never her own!
Organising the family along with ones individual tasks, activities, jobs, chores, outings, sport days, excursions, swimming lessons, football/soccer/netball training, appointments to the dentist, hairdresser, doctor, optometrist etc is something the mother often does. It is almost like running a business and being the personal secretary for the children (and the husband). Categorising events, making lists,…

Feeling amazing and so much better…
It’s been almost 4 months since my Hysterectomy operation back in April 2015 and I thought I would write a follow up post (from this previous one), on how things have been going.

These shoes are made for walking….a foot aid kit
Most women are passionate about shoes and experience sheer excitement when buying a new pair (even if they already have 100’s of other pairs in their wardrobe).

Supportive footwear is the key to comfort
As a survivor of Triple Arthrodesis surgery; footwear and supportive shoes are very important! Those of you that have not read my story can do so here! Of course this was written early last year and I had forgotten to do a follow up post on the outcome of it all. Recently an acquaintance met…

Believe me, IT IS FERAL!!!
When I wrote this post about the job everyone hates doing; there is one that is far worse; a job that tops any job regarding parenting. That job would have to be tending to sick and vomiting children in the early hours of the morning and throughout the entire night. This IS something that all…

Surviving a Triple Arthodesis ~ my biggest challenge yet.

When these moments arise and situations change, each person/family has a different way of coping. Grief, stress, hardship and suffering are all dealt with in our own way. As for myself when hardship arises, I try…
