Do you ever get the same feeling as me that you’re constantly running behind? Like you have a long to do list, you complete 90% of it and yet you still have a niggling feeling like you should have pushed that extra bit to get everything done.

My mum often ends phone calls telling me to “look after yourself” and I think for me this isn’t about living extravagantly or being greedy with food or possessions. It’s more being kind to yourself, taking care of yourself even when things feel bleak and not going to extremes to make yourself feel better. Caring … Continue reading Self Care is important

A change of scene

You may have noticed a period of quiet, perhaps some tumbleweed blowing through my little slice of the internet. Its been far from intentional, I still enjoy cooking and finding new spots of food, but I find lately my quest for a full stomach is not as all consuming.

Here’s to a happy, healthy January

While I don’t exactly make New Years resolutions (it’s all too tempting to break … Continue reading Here’s to a happy, healthy January

Sometimes you just need a bit of time (in other news, I’m back baby!)

The most observant of my regular readers might have noticed my absence for a few weeks. While my lack of writing wasn’t exactly intentional it was very much needed. This time it didn’t come about from emotional turmoil, more sheer exhaustion. After a busy period with work, trying to blog more often and everything else that is involved with this crazy thing they call modern … Continue reading Sometimes you just need a bit of time (in other news, I’m back baby!)
