Grieving Miscarriage

I’ve read that experiencing a miscarriage is the most profound experience of death a person can experience. No other form of death occurs in and must pass through your own body. The journey of moving through and finding this new normal of being a mother without a child is hard, really hard. Not only is... Continue Reading →

Catching some zzzzzz’s

I have suffered from insomnia on and off for about 15 years. It seemed to kick off at the start of my nursing career when I was working varying shifts.

Happy Exhausted

My sister went through a phase in her early 20s where she would hand you your present in the shopping bag she bought it in, claiming ‘you’re just going to open it anyway’. I have never been that kind of gift giver. I want the gift to look beautiful, I want the person receiving the... Continue Reading →

JoJo’s Gift Giving Guide

It can be so tricky to think of just the right gift to give loved ones at Christmas and not blow the budget. I thought I’d put together some of my past ideas to inspire some of your own ideas. Mostly I have gift ideas for sisters/girlfriends because that’s the bulk of my gifts. I... Continue Reading →
