Warning: This Post has Upset some People due to it's nature. The last thing I want is for anyone to feel worse after reading. It is about Life and death and only MY EXPERIENCES. I think about death. I think about me dying suddenly. Gone forever. This last year I've seen and lived through people I love die. Good people that were part of my life, people who played a big role in your lives … [Read more...]
Problogger Event – Turning your dream into reality.
17/09/2013 By 23 Comments
This post is not about what I learnt from attending the awesome sessions at Problogger as I only attended the initial and ending speakers keynote and a lounge session on monetization. Picking up the general gist through Twitter and from speaking to attendees and friends. One word keeps coming up 'dream'. Dream is a beautiful word it encompasses something we want with a fiery passion. The dreams I … [Read more...]
Dear Mum
04/09/2013 By 8 Comments
Dear mum I hope you are as well as can be considering the situation. Me? I'm doing good, still crazy busy at work and loving every moment I'm with children. Very similar to when you use to tell me the wonderful stories of how much you loved working with children as a paediatric nurse. I don't enjoy all the business stuff and grown up decisions but I'm getting there and yes my desk is … [Read more...]

Blogging: Are you blogging for the right reasons?
19/08/2013 By 44 Comments
Two and half years ago I began blogging, prior to this I use to write my thoughts up on my Easy Peasy Kids Facebook page. I honestly didn't know that anyone could set up a blog and write. Thinking you had to be well-known somewhere on this planet to have readers. Being a newbie and having no preconceived ideas was pretty awesome and often embarrassing. My naivety approved spam comments "I love … [Read more...]
How I teach children Acceptance
22/07/2013 By 19 Comments
Acceptance is not a one off sit down lesson in class. Acceptance is not just a topic you discuss every now and then. Acceptance is a daily value that is an important characteristic of who you are, it is a fundamental core value. Acceptance of others and teaching your children acceptance starts with you because as a parent you are most influential human being in your child's life. What you say, … [Read more...]
After school activities: The over scheduled child.
18/06/2013 By 33 Comments
Working with children takes every ounce of energy I have and then some, with possibly a glass of red at the end of the day. Their enthusiasm never ceases to bring me right into their moment, of course it helps that my career is centred around children and their behaviour. After twenty years I still have nothing concrete to give you, no magic answers. I see patterns, I see uniqueness and I see … [Read more...]
