Do you have any rituals in your relationship? I’m not talking about satanic rituals or killing sheep or anything like that although if that’s your vibe then that’s cool and I’m not judging. I’m talking about doing something together in an intentional and conscious way in order to help you deal with something or work through something? I wouldn’t say we have rituals in our relationship but we have done a ‘ritual’ twice. The first time to help us deal with something that was going on in our lives and the second being just the other night for a similar reason. … [Read More]
I Met A Woman The Other Day…
I met a woman the other day. I thought I had met her before but I couldn’t remember where. We got chatting about this and that. She asked how I was, I told her. I asked how she was, she told me. We said goodbye and went our separate ways. … [Read More]

Who Packs The School Lunch Boxes In Your Home?
I had a crap sleep last night and am already feeling my energy dipping so when my husband said to me this morning: ‘Don’t worry, love, stay in bed. I’ll take care of everything’, I was seriously appreciative and realised why I’m so lucky to have this man of mine. But hold on, before you go and think that my husband is a saint, let me just tell you that this has been a process and it’s not the way it’s always been. … [Read More]
When Did I Become ‘That’ Wife?
What a weekend it’s been. The truth is, my husband and I have been having a bit of a rough time lately. With each other. I won’t get into the details of it but if I had to look for a reason, I could say there have been a few things that have happened in the last couple of months that have led us here, but in actual fact these things are really just symptomatic of deeper underlying issues between us which seem to surface every so often. … [Read More]
5 Changes I Made To Improve My Marriage: Part 1
Part of my reason for starting my blog was due to something that was going on in my relationship with my husband. Or maybe I should say, something that wasn’t going on. You see, things were ok with us but that’s it. They were just ok. We were just 2 people carrying along, living side by side amicably but our connection just wasn’t there. I felt lonely…. [Read More]
When you love your husband but you’re just not liking him very much
Ever had moments of knowing that while you absolutely love your partner, you just don’t like them very much? This was one such moment for me which I wrote about quite a while ago but never got to posting. While I’m happy to say I’m liking my husband very much at the moment, and mostly always do, on this particular night, I wasn’t. This is marriage, people… … [Read More]
Why I’ve Been So Quiet On my Blog Lately
This is a post that I have been writing in my head so many times. In fact, typing it and writing it down in actual words feels a bit strange as it’s been such a long while, or so it feels like, that I have written anything. My head was starting to feel like a perfectly good place to write my posts but I think it’s time to actually get it out. … [Read More]
When soft broccoli (and my husband) really pissed me off!
The last couple of days I’ve been feeling really edgy and irritable. I don’t really know why. I can probably guess at a couple of reasons but that doesn’t really help the feeling go away. It comes and goes but when I’m feeling this way my patience is seriously low and my ability to get annoyed at any little thing is seriously high. I nearly lost it with my daughter this morning when I thought she was still in her pajama top and not dressed for school yet … [Read More]
Parents can still have fun…we did!
This past weekend my husband and I had a party at home. There was no occasion for it. It was just a ‘let’s have a party for the sake of it’ occasion and I have to say I think we’re on to something! But let me start at the beginning…
So every year, as my birthday starts approaching, I start saying ‘maybe I should have a party?’ I think about it, I talk about but I never do anything about it. … [Read More]
Does Fear Hold You Back From Doing The Things You Want To Do?
Growing up I was quite a fearful child. I was very shy and sensitive. However, although a fearful child, as I grew older my confidence grew as well. I was very good at sports, I was popular at school and at some point in my life I developed a very healthy, ‘I can do whatever I set my mind to attitude.’ Otherwise known as a bit of a ‘fuck you’ attitude. And by you, I refer to my dear old companion…FEAR. … [Read More]
Do You Ever Feel Like You’re Living a Double Life?
Do you ever feel like you’re living a double life? I don’t mean having one family here and another stashed away in some little dorp (city) halfway across the world. I mean the person you are right now…is that you person you want to be? Used to be? Strive to be?
Sometimes, I feel like there’s two of me. No, not in a schizophrenic kind of way (although with those mood swings at that time of month I can definitely border on that) … [Read More]
