Lessons From Thomas Edison’s Mum (This works wonders for children with Autism)
I made it! I survived yesterday’s pump class…. just. I’ll definitely think twice before taking a whole week off again though that’s for sure. Anyway, today I wanted to share with you a really inspiring story I read yesterday. Now, I don’t know how true it is, but regardless the story tells a powerful message.…
I have a confession to make…
I have a confession to make… I bought something yesterday that I’m a tiny bit embarrassed about… I went out and bought an adult colouring book. Oh, and 12 brand new arty colouring pencils! *looks round for approval* You see, I have friends that have them and I always had the common opinion……

Today I want to talk a little about the incredible Ronda Rousey… Incase you have no idea who I’m talking about, Ronda Rousey is a martial arts expert and athlete… She helped bring female mixed martial arts to a mainstream audience en route to becoming the first ever UFC women’s champion.

Yesterday I was in costa coffee having a break for an hour and I saw something adorable and I just had to tell you… I got there during the lunch time rush so was stood in a pretty long queue. In front of me was a women on her own holding a baby boy.…

Surviving An Attack From A Wild Animal!
The other day I was at home having a rare quiet evening in to myself and I was flicking through the films on Netflix. Now you know when you don’t know what type movie you want to watch but everything on offer seems to be rubbish… That’s was how I was feeling. Comedy… No! Action……
The Man, The Boy And The Hotel
I read a story yesterday, it was one of those “makes you think” stories and it really touched me, so much so that I want to share it with you. Some say it’s a true story and whether it’s true or not, it is certainly a powerful lesson in helping others, kindness and humanity. Here…
