I haven’t managed to write post-baby yet so here goes! I’ve been looking for inspiration for this latest post and have turned to my own experience to try and get my blogging mojo back! I’ve been finding it very tough to focus on my other 2 creative outlets – leather making and social media consultancy – since having my second child and consequently this has left me feeling a bit frazzled and frustrated. Having thought about possible solutions, I decided I’d turn them into a few tips on this week’s blog… Continue reading “How to stay creative after a baby…”
EMMA GANNON – ‘THE MULTI-HYPHEN METHOD’ REVIEW
I’ve just finished reading Emma Gannon’s The Multi-Hyphen Method and thought this week I’d publish a quick review. Perhaps some of you are like me and trying to decide between (or juggle several) career options. This is primarily why I picked up the book – that and the insatiable social media hype surrounding its launch, let’s be honest! I hoped it would help me clarify some of the fog surrounding what I should do next and the idea of learning more about someone with a multi-stream income appealed to me. Read on to find out what I thought… Continue reading “EMMA GANNON – ‘THE MULTI-HYPHEN METHOD’ REVIEW”
BE MORE REBEL
So suddenly we are 2 weeks into 2019 and for the last month or so I have been feeling under immense pressure to reflect on the past year, plan out the next one, lay down objectives, create achievable goals, strategise and- all I feel right now is overwhelmed.

SELFISH MOTHER WORK/LIFE BALANCE MASTERCLASS REVIEW…
Following on from last week’s reflective post on trying to focus on what I want to achieve, I decided to enrol on the WORK/LIFE BALANCE MASTERCLASS by Selfish Mother. The course consists of a series of short videos and activities to complete via a workbook to really get the message across.

JUGGLING MUM LIFE AND PERSONAL LIFE…
I knew it had been a while since I last blogged but I was shocked when I realised it was 5 months ago. I had been doing so well at balancing regular blog posts with looking after my son and studying for my social media course but then somehow I fell off the wagon (not for the first time). I’m not sure what happened. I got sucked into social media, via Digital Mums, I kind of ran out of ideas for things to write about here and raising a hyperactive toddler became distinctly more tricky than looking after the sleepy, immobile baby I had grown to know!
