Sometimes the world gets rough. Sickness takes over and you feel down in the dumps. We’ve all been sick at some stage and usually it passes with a cold or a bug. But if you do have a long term illness or disease it’s a different challenge. I’ve had Crohn’s Disease for 23 years and I’ve […]
This is a long one today! If you have a chronic illness then you know you just can’t escape it. It’s with you forever, and it will show up day after day. It’s like a job you hate, but you are stuck with it. I have a 16 year old son who has big dreams […]
I saw this quote on Pinterest and it really struck a chord with me! Find your flow and row, row, row. I love it. YES, that’s what I am doing right now. If you are on my email list you would have received a letter from me last week with a bit of an update […]
If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen me bang on about doTERRA essential oils lately. I know I am late to the party (because you’re telling me you love them already!). BUT if you’re new then today I have a quick explanation on how you can get started yourself. I am loving […]
In a bid to get out and about more, last week I saw a little workshop pop up in my Facebook feed. A lovely girl (Sam from Willow Metta) was hosting it and for some reason I just clicked on it and booked myself in. If you read my latest blog post about my surgery […]
I just want to start by saying thank you to everyone who messaged me over the last few weeks. Your support has been wonderful and it really helped. If you’re new to this blog I’ve written a few posts here, but just quickly, I’ve had Crohn’s Disease since I was 18 years old, have battled […]
I’ve been a little quiet over here and that’s not usually me! I have always written on my blog daily (well pretty much) and since December I have been a real hit and miss. I think I’ve needed some time out, and over the next month I don’t expect to be blogging much again. I […]
The countdown has started at my house… it’s a month until I have my big operation. I had put it all to the back of my mind and was in denial. I got through Christmas, and some holidays and lots of other activities. But it’s getting real now. Kids are back at school next week […]
Oh boy, this isn’t a pretty blog post today. Scroll on past if this isn’t your thing! I know I can be an over-sharer, but I actually find it helpful to me. Some people will say “keep that crap to yourself” and that’s ok, but personally I like to share – it makes me feel […]
Hey there! Scroll by guys if this post isn’t for you 🙂 … but I wanted to share a little update on my Crohn’s journey and I feel a little bit stuck, so sometimes it’s just good to write about it… I’ve been patiently waiting for my doctor to get back to me about a […]
Here’s a random complaint from me today… I know, I am whinging about the weather, but this year I am really feeling it. I am struggling with the cold and it’s taking up too much of my energy, literally. I haven’t been overly well for at least the past 18 months. See this post to […]
Scroll on by people if this isn’t your thing. I know, I will return to my normal pretty things tomorrow. 😉 BUT seeing as I’m online a lot, I thought it’s only fair to sometimes keep it real! May is awareness month for Crohn’s and I’ve been asked to be of their promo this year. […]
