I Finally Know What I Want In 2023
It’s customary to make your vision boards and start manifesting things at the very start of the year, or the end of the current one. Heck, I did it that way last year (and with great results!) But this year, I didn’t feel like rushing it. I wanted to take more time to really figure…

Have you ever been told that you should never be angry with your parents because they did the best they could for you? Well, I’m all up for that (unless they did some really terrible things, in which case there’s no excuse). What I do have an issue with is when my parents begin questioning…
Dear 2022…

What Reusable Nappies Are the Best?
I started using reusable nappies on my little one about a month ago, in an effort to be more eco-friendly. At first, I bought only pair simply to try them out. Then I bought another pair from a different brand. Today, I have 19 of them, which is confirmation enough that I really love them!…
