It's been one heck of a week- life at 100mph





I first started this blog after speaking to one of my lovely friends. I love writing and she suggested I start blogging. After my first couple of posts I was surprised to find it almost therapeutic, which wasn't what I expected! 

So what's been happening in 'Lindsay's world' this week? It has been such a busy few days. Aside from reaching breaking point listening to the barking dog next door, I have loved the last few days. But seriously- I have actually reached the point of tears having to hear the dog bark. I don't know what's worse.... snoring or barking? Both make me want to rip my ears off. 

Anyway, that is probably the only negative I have this week! The kids and I have enjoyed the school holidays and celebrating Piper's 6th birthday, as well as my sister's gender reveal. The week has just flown! 

Sometimes it's scary how fast time flies. 

Piper had a princess pamper for her birthday and it was an amazing day for her. It was her first time in the salon having her hair, make up and nails done, and my heart was so full seeing her beaming with happiness all day long. My sister's gender reveal was also a lovely day full of love and happiness. To see her face when the blue confetti burst out of the balloon was such a heart-warming feeling, and I couldn't be happier for her! Maybe I should have stayed away from the baby Guinness though!

Of course, we had to go to another Wedding Fayre. This one was at the venue we are getting married at. We wanted to try some of the food samples but we are still undecided about the Canapes- it's all super exciting though, and I love planning our wedding! 

Life feels like its passing by at 100mph at the moment, and I just wish I could slow down the days.  

Time is precious and so it's important we spend our days with the right people. 

The bad news is time flies, the good news is that we are the pilot. I can't help but start to think abut going back to work just lately. I am over halfway through my maternity leave and I have cherished every moment I have been able to spend with Finley, Piper, and Phoebe. I have made the most of every school run, and all of the time I can spend with the kids as much as possible. I know when I go back to work my heart will hurt, and I will miss the time I have been able to spend with the kids, and catching up with family and friends. At the same time, going back to work will be exciting and empowering- being back in 'work mode' will give me the confidence and energy boost to parent with a full and open heart. 

Phoebe is my third baby so you would think I wouldn't be as nervous about returning to work as I am, but we have to face these challenges head on as we move forward in life. 

I need to remind myself to slow down sometimes. Besides, if I am always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one I'm in?

Almost a Year On: The Day My Life Changed Forever

The last time I wrote here, I was navigating life as a new mother, learning how to balance my identity with the needs of my children, my career, and my relationships. I felt stretched in every direction- but I also felt secure. I thought I knew who I was building a future with. I thought I knew what came next. I  thought I knew what my future looked like. But nearly a year ago, my world was turned upside down. And now, nearly a year later, I feel ready to tell the story of how my world fell apart- and how I’ve slowly begun to rebuild it. The Beginning of the End There wasn’t one single moment that ended it all- more a slow, silent unraveling that started with a gut instinct I couldn’t shake. In the weeks leading up to what was supposed to be one of the happiest days of my life, things started to feel…off. The man I loved became distant. Cold. He disappeared at strange hours, offered no real answers, and moved through life like I wasn’t even there. The more I tried to hold things to...

Why I Share My Life Online

I’ve never been  called  an oversharer, at least, not to my face. But I sometimes wonder if that’s what people think. You know, when I post something raw, vulnerable, emotional, when I speak openly about my heartache, or the moments I felt completely lost. Maybe someone, somewhere, scrolls past and thinks, “That’s a lot to post online.” And to them, I’d say this:  Yes. It is a lot. Because life is a lot. And if my story helps even one person feel less alone in this messy, complicated world, then every word was worth sharing. I Share for the Memories… and the Meaning I’ve always shared my life online not for attention, but for connection. For documentation. For the memories. I want to remember the moments I’m proud of, the milestones, the laughter, the warmth of everyday life. I want to be able to scroll back and see how far I’ve come. I share my children, because they’re my greatest achievement. I share my home, because I built something that feels safe and strong. I shar...

Sisters: The Constant in All My Chaos

There are certain relationships in life that are simply woven into your story from the beginning. You don’t choose them, and yet somehow, they become the most important ones you’ll ever have. That’s how I feel about my sisters. They are the thread that runs through every chapter of my life, sometimes tangled, sometimes stretched, but never broken. Friendships, as wonderful and meaningful as they can be, often have an expiry date. People change, circumstances shift, priorities evolve. Sometimes you outgrow each other quietly, and other times you’re painfully torn apart. Friends come and go with the seasons, and that’s okay. But sisters? Sisters are forever. Sisters don’t just witness your growth, they grow with you. Or, at the very least, they sit with you through your growing pains. They give you the space to become who you are, without needing you to explain who you were. I have two sisters. Both so different, and yet both have shaped me in ways I’ll spend a lifetime being grateful fo...
