About Me
My Life:
I am a mother, a writer and a horticulturist.
Becoming a mother is the most wonderful and life altering experience I have ever been through. It has inspired me, motivated me, challenged me and filled my life with such joy and happiness.
My blogs and in particular the one titled: "becoming a mum" share my story. My blogs also contain information about myself and my personal experiences with depression, self esteem issues, my passion for healthy living and growing your own fresh fruits and vegetables, my personal successful weight loss journey and my upcoming book due to be released Marh 1st 2009.
, I personally suffered from depression after having my baby and am passionate about raising awareness of and the importance of support with post partum/natal depression and the important link between an active and healthy lifestyle and having more energy and happiness each day.
My BOOK, 'The Pram Diet' is a supportive and motivational guide to healthy, achievable weight loss, inspiration, healthy cooking with lots of great recipes and expert advice on growing some of your fresh fruits and vegetables, It also shares my personal story and experiences of motherhood, depression, weight and self esteem issues.
Details of its official release date will be posted here on bellyhood but you can get some "sneak peaks" and more information about it by READING MY BLOGS HERE and also by visiting my myspace page.
I REALLY ENJOY MEETING OTHER MOTHERS and am also very passionate about promoting healthy lifestyles.
I believe the best and easiest asset we can give our children is the tools to lead a healthy and active lifestyle themselves and the best way of doing this is by living a more healthy lifestyle ourselves.
My little girl Lily is three in december and she is my whole world, every day from day one she has amazed me, suprised me, inspired me and filled me with more love than I had ever thought possible and makes me and her father so very happy, I am very grateful for her in my life.
My Inspiration:
I am inspired by my wonderful LITTLE GIRL LILY every single day, in so many ways and words cannot express the happiness she brings to my life....
I am also inspired by ALL MOTHERS everywhere and all the great many people who leave the world a little better for having been in it.
I am inspired by my own inner strengths, abilities and dreams that for so long I didn't know I had or would let shine.
My Interests:
Being a mother.
Meeting other mothers and inspirational people.
I believe EVERYBODY has a story and I love to share mine to help raise awareness of post natal/partum depression and the importance of looking after yourself so you can then in turn look after your family and give your children a great, healthy start in life.
Growing your own organic fresh fruits and vegetables and getting your children involved in the whole experiance wether it be at home, school, church or through a community group. Teaching gardening classes and groups, meeting other gardeners, anything to do with gardening really.
Healthy living. Being fit and active. Feeling energised and having a bounce in your step every day.
Enjoying life and having a laugh everyday. Laughter and joy is the base to a wonderful life!
Getting out in the fresh air as much as possible. Going for walks with my little one. Promoting good health in my local community. Spending time with family and friends. Having a creative outlet can be such a "RELEASE" in the busy lives we all lead, its stimulation, fun and fufillis your creative side. I enjoy; writing, cooking, baking, making jewellery and all sorts of arts and crafts.
I love hand made products and items, homemade foods, preserves and goods. Natural products. Getting out of the house and enjoying the refreshing stimulation of the outdoors; camping, exploring, nature, waterfalls, forests, rivers, caves, mountains, historical sites, interesting places.
