I tried to find something that hadn’t changed, something that since Chiara’s diagnosis, still felt relatively the same. Yet I didn’t get far, truth is everything looks different now. That’s probably because everything is different. I can’t look at a pregnant woman, or a new family, or a tiny weeny baby without seeing something so […]
it all began with a 20 week scan I knew this early on, that things weren’t going to plan. our new little baby had a right club-foot and operations, splints & casting would be all it took, to fix her cute foot deformity and try and bring back some normality. the royal childen’s hospital soon […]
‘BIG MAGIC – creative living beyond fear’ was released today – a book by the author of Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I had been looking forward to this day, I was planning to have her book in my hands and ready to become inspired by the words within. However nothing feels magical about […]
Yep – this picture sum’s up the past two years! Funambulism! the art of walking along a thin wire or rope. Not surprising that it’s commonly associated with the circus, which could be an analogy for our parenting gig this time around 😉 Balance: an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and […]

“I choose to show up for my highest possible potential” How do we show up every single day, especially at times when we feel completely exhausted? As I write this, I am k.o’d with the flu. Naturally my body has decided to take a stance and I have taken all the right steps to help […]
It’s interesting this life.. the people we meet, the timing of events and the way we receive, assimilate and respond to a variety of life events that come our way. Looking back, I always knew in some shape or for, something like this would take place in my motherhood years. Somewhere deep down in the […]
The phone rang in between nappy change.. Grace wanting her toy….. and Chiara needing all of my attention for the task at hand. But I felt a deep sense of urgency to answer the call. “Natalie, the genetic team have asked if you can come in today, we have the results for Chiara. Is your […]
