Hey everyone! I remember when I was a little girl my mum used to make me home made play dough and it would keep me entertained for hours. My mum is from the Philippines and when she was younger they had a family business in making Ube, a popular dessert made out of purple yams….

Our family Christmas 2018
All of that preparation getting ready for Christmas and now it’s been and gone. We are well into January now but still munching on the Christmas chocolate! Sorry diet. Christmas this year was very exciting as Zara is fully invested in the magic of Christmas and everything else that comes with it. The closer we…
Another Christmas without you.
I wrote this poem to Zachary in 2015 on our second Christmas without him. I’ve added more this year. Our lives have changed so much since then but one thing that hasn’t changed is how much we love him. He is still very much a part of our family and although I don’t post about…

I know you are with me, please stay… thoughts of a baby loss mum
I’ve always wanted to visit a medium, ever since my dad passed away and even more so when we lost Zachary. I just wanted to know if he was with me, although I know he cannot physically be with me. I’m also feel very skeptical about it all and the fact that I am so…
