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.

In just a few days, school will be starting again. I won’t lie, I’ve been waiting for this, but as we’ve gotten closer to the date, rather than excitement and relief, I’ve felt anxiety and worry. I know a lot of you may be feeling this way as well, and that’s why this blog post isn't going to be your typical “Back to School” post on prepping and settling your kids.
When you’re an already busy mum whose life is about to get even busier, you get prepared. And you start using whatever hacks you can think of to make your life easier. Lucky for you, I’m going to share some of my busy mum hacks with you today!
There is no scale or measure that can ever quantify the depth of pain a mother feels when she loses her child, no matter how long she carried, knew, or held them. And yet the sad truth is that in this world, and even within the grief community, there is often an unspoken comparison when it comes to mothers: Is it harder to lose a baby in pregnancy or after birth? Does the time we have together determine the depth of the loss and therefore the amount of pain we feel?
