This blog is about our decision as parents to make some time just for us and go to Vegas for 6 days without the kids... It was hard to leave them for that long, but we are so happy we got to do it...

All mummy's deserve to have some fun!

Hi, I've recently started a blog called Lists for Life. It provides advice and video blogs on many topics including saving money, weight loss, fitness, health and mental well-being. I'm a doctor myself and I've had some recent mental health issues so want to share my knowledge with those in need.

Some of my most popular posts in the last couple of weeks are:

  • 6 of the Most Rewarding Customer Loyalty Cards
  • 6 Slimming World Friendly Breakfasts you can make in 10 minutes
  • 10 tips for Managing Anxiety
  • January Freebie Haul Video Blog

hate that I've had to name change for this smile but it's rather a unique situation, so it's made me pretty identifiable.

I have spent the last few months wondering if this is something that I should be sharing with the world, or shutting up about.

But I've come to the conclusion, that if it means people are just that little bit aware of the risks, the it could save a child's life. So I've finally blogged about it.

It's the story of dd, when last October she ended up in intensive care after eating foxglove leaves in the garden. It was touch and go there for a while.

If we hadn't worked out what had happened, then there's a chance she wouldn't be here today.

Please have a quick read if you have the time smile

And if you don't, then at least have a look at the pictures so that you know what a non-flowering Foxglove looks like. Just in case. No adverts at all :)

I wrote a post about myths that working mums have to deal with, and my personal opinion on them all. I have had a great response and lovely comments over the last few days of support and bewilderment that people can think certain things about working mums these days.

With my twins I needed all the help I could get, but I always felt a bit shit about that. Looking back I realise it was the right thing FOR ME and I wanted to share my thoughts with other ladies who may be feeling the same.

It took me several attempts over the last few years to properly get 'into' yoga. Now that I practice regularly people as me how to 'get into' yoga like there's some magical answer. I decided to use my blog to write a short guide to starting out in yoga and figure out which is the best style for yourself.
