Trying to conceive over 40 with a neurospicy brain
Posted by kerry dibble on
The journey of trying to conceive is an emotionally challenging one, particularly for women over the age of 40. For individuals prone to intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and overanalysis, this can be an especially stressful time.

Why can't mums have a guilt free lie in!?
Posted by kerry dibble on
Why do mothers often struggle to indulge in the simple pleasure of sleeping in or enjoying a relaxed morning routine, even when given the opportunity to do so?

Do babies need big birthday parties?
Posted by kerry dibble on
River turned 3 a couple of weeks ago, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy her small and inexpensive birthday celebration with her family, but it did get me thinking about how much some people spend on such occasions, and why??

Should toddler bed time = Mummy bed time?
Posted by kerry dibble on
Do you go to bed at the same time as your toddler? Do you find it affects your relationship with your partner, your friends, your older kids, or your sense of self identity?
As a neurospicy mum I suffer chronic overwhelm if I do not get some time to myself, or just to do the things that I find fun/relaxing/grounding. Having a toddler on my body all day AND all night is just too much, and causes me to become overstimulated and impatient (not my best mum self).
