Having a family as large as ours means that the logistics of preparing for an outdoor travel adventure can become quite daunting.

Teaching my children how to give back.

My boys and I completed a #RAK (Random Act of Kindness) to spread a little love. #momswhocare

Living in a world that is saturated with self-glory. How can we as parents remind our children of the importance of giving back? I’m not sure if you all remember the alcohol craze that consumed Facebook a while ago? The NEK Nominations flooded social media – if you were nominated you had to down a drink of your choice, and then challenge others to do the same. It was around this time that…

From A Broken Teenager To A Doting Mom - My "rags to riches" story

From A Broken Teenager To A Doting Mom

As a kid I remember crying myself to sleep many nights. Not understanding why I didn’t have a father. My parents got divorced when I was very young, and consequently, my father was absent from my life until the day he died. I remember all too well watching my friends with envy at birthday parties, or sports days, or even just school drop-offs. To me, it seemed as if they had perfect lives… Simply…

To The Woman Drowning In Her Insecurities - Letters Of Lace

As women, we tend to be overcome with insecurities. Do you find that these feelings steal your joy? How can we deal with that?

The definition of insecurity is as follows – the anxiety or uncertainty about oneself. As women, we tend to be overcome with insecurities. I know this may seem a bold statement, if not an over-simplified generalization… Show me a lady that does not have any insecurities and I will happily eat my words (and apologise). We are emotionally wired. It’s part of our genetic makeup to interpret and…

Staying True To Myself As A Blogger

I write because I love it. I share my life with others hoping to inspire and encourage. This past week was a rough one for me and I needed a reminder of why I blog. @WithFranca @mummyinatutu @HonestMum @ExperBadMom @NigeHiggins4

This week I stepped out of my positive little corner to do something that I felt was right. The online repercussions were horrific and the negativity that ensued popped my little happy balloon. Maybe I went about it the wrong way, maybe I didn’t express myself clearly and maybe it was just one big misunderstanding. But the reality is that it brought a lot of negativity my way.  And will probably…
