Whipping up some tasty treats in the kitchen can provide more benefits than you might think. Yes, it fills the kitchen with some gorgeous smells and everyone will be grateful for the freshly baked, warm, gooey cookies on the side, but baking is just as much about the process and experience as it is the … Continue reading Easing anxiety through baking
We all do it. They say consistency is key and I totally agree. However, we are all human and sometimes life (and mental health) can get in the way. I have been writing my blog for a number of years and sometimes I am religiously posting and other times I go quiet. I am quite … Continue reading Radio Silence…
That inbetween time from Boxing Day to New Year’s Eve. Does anyone else struggle with this time? Each year as soon as Boxing Day is over, I find myself in the inbetween Christmas slumber. Before I know it I am welcoming in the New Year, with little recollection of the past week. Although this week … Continue reading How to spend the week between Christmas and New Year
Does anyone know how many days we have been in lockdown, or partial lockdown for? For me, it feels like sooo long BUT it also feels like the weeks are passing very quickly. How is everyone feeling?

When I was a baby you rocked me to sleep. When I was poorly you stroked my hair. When I was sad you made me smile. When I lost my toy you would always find it for me. When I was a baby I needed you. When I was stressed at school you would help … Continue reading My World
I won’t lie. Housework has never been my favourite thing in the world to do. Quite frankly I always saw it as a chore that I had to get done and something that was always bottom of my to do list. I’d wake up on Saturday morning look at my list of jobs, put my … Continue reading Tidying Up Anxiety
It’s that time of year again. Something I write about every year because I feel it is important for those who are struggling with anorexia (or bulimia) and also for their families to appreciate the struggle. It’s ironic really, Christmas is my favourite time of the year. Those who know me will know just how … Continue reading Tis the season

A carb-lovers dream (of which I am not!). You may be thinking how sad to let something as trivial and necessary as food … Continue reading The Break
