Imposter Syndrome – we’ve all been there!

In the creative bustle, it sometimes feels like everyone else has got it going on and you’re not quite there yet.. let’s just do some myth busting on that!

Burst; a poem by Elisabeth Pike

Burst The things that I see and touch consume me; the work that I must do, the dinner that I must cook, and the house that must be tidied fill up the space in my mind. And when I close my eyes, all I can see is the bustle of things, like a humming city,ContinueContinue reading “Burst; a poem by Elisabeth Pike”

A few months back, a friend and I decided to have a joint party for our girls who were born threeContinueContinue reading “A Fairytale Castle Party And A Collapsing Thomas Cake”

On budgeting and how much it really costs to raise a child

Another old blog post. Apparently bumbos are out of favour now so shows how quickly this post dated! Written in Autumn 2012 I remember when I was younger, blissfully ignorant of the realities of having children and announcing at work that I was broody and couldn’t wait to start having babies.  I was only aboutContinueContinue reading “On budgeting and how much it really costs to raise a child”
