This lifestyle blog is where I share the in-between bits — the real-life reflections, everyday stories, and everything that makes this space feel personal. From solo parenting wins and quiet moments with a cuppa to the thoughts I’ve typed out at midnight, this section captures the heart of day-to-day life.
Not every post fits neatly into a category — and that’s okay. These are the thoughts, memories, and snapshots of life that I’ve shared over the years. Some are deeply personal, others light and observational. You’ll find the messy middle of motherhood, the joy of new beginnings, and the real talk behind the highlight reels.
Lifestyle posts are often the ones people connect with the most — because they’re real. I write them for myself, but also for anyone who’s ever felt a bit lost, a bit proud, a bit tired or a bit “me too.”

I’ve always used this lifestyle blog as a space to document the moments that don’t make it to Instagram — the ones that feel too big, too small, or too messy to share anywhere else. Some are emotional, some are funny, and some are just me talking to future me. It’s all part of the story.
