I'm here to help light up the darkness, inspire, and help other mums feel seen and less alone through my musings on life, motherhood, and mental health, intertwined with my faith and grief. This is a space for REAL motherhood - the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. Here, I promise to be open, vulnerable, and honest.
Here, you are seen, and you are heard.
Grief isn’t easy to explain, especially when it’s the kind of unexpected, unnatural, and traumatising grief like mine.

In this post, I want to gently open the curtain on some of the things many people might not know about grief.
With Mother’s Day coming up this weekend, it’s been an emotional week to say the least. I’m not quite sure how I feel about Mother’s Day this year, and I can’t help but think back to past Mother’s Days and compare them to now.
When we lost Dorian, one of my biggest fears was that I would forget him so I was desperately looking for ways to preserve and honour his memory. I’m sure I’m not the only mother who has walked this path so I wanted to shout out some lovely Australian small businesses that have helped bring me some solace through their heartfelt keepsake and memory pieces.
