Bio
I’m a mum to a toddler, just trying to get through the day. I like to write about the ups and downs of parenting. I’m not afraid to tell it like it is. I hope you’ll find something here to laugh, relate to, and maybe even learn from.

The Neighbourhood Christmas Tradition. Top Story - December 2025. Content Warning.
This is Part Two of The Neighbourhood Christmas Tradition. If you haven’t read Part One yet, you can find it here. When I get home, there’s an afternoon breeze, so I decide to eat dinner in my backyard. As I’m sitting at the table, I look over at my empty garden bed and remember that I have to do something about it. It almost looks as though the previous tenant's plants were pulled out and new soil was added, ready for a fresh start.

Too Old for Nightclubs, Too Young to Be Called “Duck”
The Calm Before the Duck It’s day five of my break from writing. At 2:30 p.m., I start to hear those familiar stirs on the baby monitor that tell me my son is about to wake up. And, just like clockwork, I have this urge to start writing again.
