What do you know about ENDOMETRIOSIS?
I knew very little about Endometriosis...until I actually did some research. Here's an opportunity to educate yourselves Becoming a "woman" was a huge milestone. You know how you get the "Now that you have your period, you CAN get pregnant talk"! Well I got tit.bits at least from my mom. Honestly, I don;t get why …
Chasing Rhinos…to save the Rhinos
Rhinosaurus...that was how Dudie pronounced it for as long as I can remember. He always had some fascination with Rhinos but it breaks my heart to see how upset he gets when there are reports about poaching. It's in the news ALL the time. It's become like "white noise" in the background. So technically it …

It’s been 1 year…
I woke up just after 4am, and realised last year this time was my "calm" period. I felt something, it was in fact euphoria. And in that moment I realised it was in fact my last time with Mamma.

It was bittersweet but I am extremely grateful and honored that I got to share her last moments with her. If you missed my list you can read it here Cancer Won...

Motherhood round 2…
Becoming a mom for the second time, albeit 7 years later, was like becoming a mom for the first time. The adjustment from 1 to 2 children, for me, was and is major. It feels like I have a house full of kids now. Never ending laundry...how can we have SO much laundry? Even though …
Keeping A BREAST with World Breastfeeding Week
So 1 - 7 August 2017 is World Breastfeeding Week. It's ironic as Troll, who is just over 6 months old, has decided to "wean" himself from my breast... When Troll was in utero, I decided that I would be happy if I could breastfeed for 6 months. Perhaps I would make it to 12 …
