Welcome to the world of Lindsay!

Life is crazy right!?

I'm 30 this year and I am far from having it all together! I have so much going on in my life that it can all be so overwhelming. Although the world can seem a lonely place sometimes, I just want you to know that no matter what you are going through, you are not alone.

So who am I?

My name is Lindsay and I'm a 29 year old Solicitor from Nottinghamshire. I'm a mum to 3 beautiful children. A 7 year old boy called Finley, a 5 year old girl called Piper, and a 16 week old baby girl called Phoebe. I'm also a dog mum to a Cavapoo called Arthur. I love my children (and dog) so much, but man do they drive me insane! My patience certainly wears thin on a regular basis.

I'm still trying to lose the baby weight and attempting to fit exercise in where I can, although this hasn't been great lately! I'm a member of Slimming World but haven't been for the last couple of weeks- whoops!

Add the fact that I'm planning a wedding (which I am so excited for), whilst also trying to maintain a social life, and keep our home clean and tidy, I am barely keeping it together.

Do you ever feel like you just need a break? I totally understand. It's hard being needed by somebody ALL of the time.

This is my first blog and I wanted to reach out to people who also lead chaotic lives. I have so much to write about as I continue on this journey called life. From my wedding plans, my family life, and being a working mum. My anxiety is through the roof on a daily basis and I find that people are surprised when they learn the extent of my anxieties and worries. I thought that having a stressful job was the cause of my anxiety but being on maternity leave has made me realise that anything can be a trigger!

My goal is to be as open and honest to you about life as I can, because although some people appear to have the perfect life, maybe reality is a lot different to what we see on social media or the television.

I hope by sharing my story, my successes, and my struggles, it helps us realise that we aren't alone on this crazy journey called life.

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...
