Life is busy isn’t it. It is so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life whether it’s work or kids or keeping up with friends. Being busy is part of our culture and taking time to do nothing but relax is not. That’s a generalisation but if you ever feel like you do not …
Learning to use my smartphone camera has made me fall in love with bad weather. It may have been cold and dark but the skies and scenery on this 10 minute morning stroll were epic.
Just a little Sunday morning fun with my best little friend. No furniture just play and using my body in ways I don’t during the week. So much fun What I am getting out of this is that I am on the floor playing with my little one. Technically I am taking photos and recording memories but the impact on …
This is a view from one of the many parks in Milton Keynes. I took a stroll along the river and enjoyed the scenery and it did me so much good. It calmed me down and relieved the stress I was feeling. I felt the sun on my face and wind in my hair. Yes this is cliche but it …
Over the last weekend, I had an experience that made me realize how tiring and challenging it could be for parents to take care of their little ones.

Along the lines of a previous post, I’ve always subscribed to the idea that a balanced life is what leads to a balanced body and mind i.e. one with less disease and problems.
