What to do when the s#%@ hits the fan
It's 6:27am and I've just sat down to take a quick look over my ebook draft that I wrote yesterday. 7253 words in five hours. And my software won't open the file. It will open other files. Just not this one. This has never happened before with my software, so I won't mention which one … Continue reading What to do when the s#%@ hits the fan

The Dichotomy of Being a Creative and Planning Ahead
As it seems pertinent to the fact that it's the 4th of March, and the year is quite literally marching along at breakneck speed, I thought to share a little strategy I've recently come up with.

Gratitude Day 15: Extra Energy = Cookies
So, you know how I've been on this Paleo thing since before Christmas? Oh, no? Well, I have.

Paleo Experiments: Spaghetti bolognese with zucchini pasta
I hope this inspires you to try your own version. Was it weird eating green pasta that wasn't pasta? Sure! But a really good kind of weird all the same!

Choosing a better way
So today's blog is a bit different. I've been asked to share a new recipe I made up today for Paleo Frittata Muffins. I can't claim the full idea as my own as I got it from another website but I will share the version I created to match our family tastes 🙂

A life lived or a life that just exists?
Today has been hard. Not 'can't get out of bed and face the world hard' but hard all the same. More like 'Remember to breathe, Miriam' hard: the kind where you have to send yourself little messages all day to keep calm, not let small things upset you and remind yourself that this is not … Continue reading A life lived or a life that just exists?
