Over the past few years, in fact probably more recently than ever, I’ve been on a path of learning who exactly I am. This year I turn 33 and I’m still learning new things all the time. I have decided to take my blog down a new path, as I felt there hasn’t been a …

Let me tell you about my failed attempt at Park Run… At the weekend my husband and I got up bright and early to face our first ever run. I had absolutely no idea what to expect and if I’m being entirely honest, I was feeling very anxious, and I knew it wasn’t going to be …
