Does it have to be today's post? Did this in last few days and it seems to get interest - would I still have had my kids if there had been a pregnancy test for autism?

I hate that I've had to name change for this :) 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 :)

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.

I have written this post...
"I'm sorry I became the "Don't Worry" mum.

I would love for it to reach a larger audience of mothers who will have felt the same way I have done.

A fresh poem, still warm in fact, about a respectable pillar of the community. Wink

Miss Evadne Pringle

And a quickie from yesterday:

Crickets are little hopping bugs
And cricket is a game.
To save all the confusion
One should change it's name.

If I went to a cricket match
It just won't do at all
To get there and have to watch
Some insects play football.

After finally doing something for me. Coping with life in general, especially with five kids and an absent x husband has been like constantly treading water. Sometimes i float sometimes i go under! But i'm basically only just keeping my head above the water. Recently.... I've started to have a paddle about. Many of my friends are busy working Mums or Dads. Too busy to take a break, get off the parenting train and do somthing thats just for them. And I thought my life needs to be a bit more adventurous. Theres sooo many things i havn't done, i'm only 47. Theres still time!

I came up with the idea of a website community, where people can start doing their Bucket Lists. Not alone. But as a community together! I will be organising various trips and taking part in the activities.
It's baby steps towards really living! My daughter and her partner are helping me with the site and its going to be cutting it's teeth over the next few weeks.
If anyone is interested in having a few adventures and making new friends. Then feel free to help us test out the site. I've decided to start trying out the things on my Bucket List your all free to escape from your everyday lives and come and join me!?
My new hobby is called thebucketlisthub.com

Heres to a more adventurous future 🍾

I thought I would try out something a bit different for today's post, delving into the weird and wonderful. Being a medical lady myself I thought I would look into this subject as I knew of a couple of examples off the top of my head, so here it is:

6 Brave Scientists Who Experimented on Themselves (Or Their Families!)

I've been finding it a challenge in my clinics. I have loads of patients with mental health problems such as anxiety and depression who would really benefit from mindfulness activities and meditation (been there myself so know it really works). Decided to write this post for people who want to help themselves, it's essentially a mini guide on how to get started with mindfulness activities you can do at home:
