This blog is called Chaos in Kent for a very good reason. I’m not sure I ever had a plan, not really. There may have been months of goal setting and strategy talking but no real action. That’s my problem. I know I am not practising what I preach to...
I am quickly becoming a huge fan of Facebook Live. A great way to share ideas, news and ask questions. Today we talked about life on the SEND Line. If you missed the Live event, you can watch it again here. The SEND Line – Facebook Live SEND Line –...

When you find out you’re pregnant, you wonder what sort of parent you will be. When your child arrives, you wonder what sort of character they will be. As they grow, you wonder if you are getting this parenting job right. Is your parenting helping your child to be confident...
I am a big fan of those books you find in “personal development” sections of a bookstore. Robin Sharma, Tony Robbins, Bob Proctor, Lisa Nichols, Brene Brown, Jack Caulfield. Bring them on. The more, the merrier. My hubby refers to me as his dippy hippy wife but he happily buys...

Parenting, marriage, special needs, getting fit, healthy eating, journalling, productivity (with a side dish of procrastination) and mindfulness.
