It’s back. I never wanted to be here again but I guess its inevitable. It always comes back. Sooner or later it catches up. It does it slowly; subtly. It creeps in and takes hold of me. It’s, smarter than me and smarter than I’ll ever be. It’s hold is strong and unyielding, it doesn’t … More The darkness
It’s ok not to be ok. I’m sure you’ve all seen the posts circulating the internet today regarding World Mental Health Day. A day that is not only necessary, but crucial in todays world. It seems every other day we are hit with a story of another person taking their own life, and as devastating … More I’m not ok
Something I’ve known from the start would be that we would have to encounter Callie learning about “Daddy’s” and we would have to explain to her why she didn’t have one. What I didn’t expect to happen was for her to grasp the concept so quickly. I guess I should explain. Callie’s favourite book at … More The D Word

I’m sure some of you saw the picture I shared a few nights ago, for those of you that didn’t, here it is. It’s got me thinking a lot about the world we’ve brought Callie into, and it makes me sad. Not for Callie, but for those people who genuinely believe that gay people are … More She needs me to be proud
Time is not so slowly running out. The days seem to whizz by so quickly and I’m struggling to make the most of what time I have left. Maternity Leave is almost over. Fuck. How did this happen?
