There’s an anniversary coming up this Saturday. The 9th anniversary of the September 11 bombings. 9 years have gone by since the day that my world changed. I had lived 30.5 years never having had a polarising event happen. I remember it vividly. It’s one of those generational moments where you ask, “What were you [...]

There are some things in life that are meant to be. I believe that I was meant to be with my husband. We found each other across an ocean thanks to lovely, yet bizarre circumstances. We had chatted on the phone for a few months before we met for the first time at Luton Airport. [...]

In March of 2006 I became a wife to the love of my life.  We found each other across the ocean and began our happily ever after in an amazing ceremony attended by friends and family.  The American contingency was well represented and as is American tradition, we held a “rehearsal dinner” after the rehearsal [...]

As many of you know, I am the pushchair queen.  It’s true…I have the tiara to prove it!  I stumbled into writing reviews for MadeForMums website and somehow, although quite happily, ended up being a Pushchair reviewer.  I adore pushchairs.  They are gorgeous and fun and quirky and delightful…oh…I forgot where I was for a [...]

I have found, thanks to my over-active imagination, that the best laid plans often go awry.  This stems from a compulsion to create the best events possible and to have the most amazing things happen.  My dad used to make every holiday, no matter how small, special.  I remember for my mom’s birthday for many [...]

There’s a tug of war going on inside of me.  I wonder why I write.  I wonder who’s reading what I write.  I wonder why I don’t get the comments I think I should.  I wonder why, despite the hours of time promoting it, my blog isn’t doing better.  I wonder why the pitches I [...]

My blogging friend, Josie, has given us a Writing Workshop prompt which challenged us to take ourselves on a £1000 shopping spree.  As this is my blog and I’m ever so creative, I have decided to change the amount as there’s no way that I could get what I needed for £1000.  If you don’t [...]

Where Did I Go? Dark brown, straight hair with a smattering of grey hiding in the threads Eyes that have a constant down turn and newly acquired pillows underneath Skin that seems to have lost its youthful glow A belly that in no way, shape or form resembles what it used to be Silvery snakes [...]

Serendipity is defined (by Wikipedia) as the effect by which one accidentally stumbles upon something fortunate, especially while looking for something entirely unrelated. There’s a slightly cheesy sweet movie of the same name starring Kate Beckinsale and John Cusak…have a look: I’m a sucker for romantic cheese!  Well, my story may not involve New York [...]

Inside my head I am many things…wife, mother, friend, writer, me. Wife…Inside my head I wonder, am I supportive enough, do I show him enough affection, does he really know how very much he means to me and how much he’s improved my life?  Inside my head I wonder if I should be doing more [...]
