A few months ago I blogged about The Lullaby Trust and the loss of Matilda Mae. Today 9 very brave and inspiring ladies have jumped out of a plane to skydive in her precious memory. As I said in that post, nobody should ever have to lose a child to SIDS; I still just cannot imagine the heartbreak and emotional turmoil the family have to go through. Matilda Mae & Edspire’s story has touched me so much, and even now I am sat here in tears writing this. I would say, let’s help to get #MMSkydive trending on Twitter, but this …

Saying Goodbye
I first came across Saying Goodbye at the end of last year, not long after I miscarried. Saying Goodbye are part of The Mariposa Trust (whose other division is Growing You – aiming to support those who are pregnant following the loss of a baby). The Mariposa Trust was founded by Zoe & Andy Clark-Coates who have suffered 5 miscarriages, but are now blessed with two precious girls. Saying Goodbye offers international support to those who have lost babies at any stage of pregnancy, at birth, or in early years. They also hold remembrance services at Ministers & Cathedrals. I haven’t been to one …
My Race For Life
Yesterday was Race For Life Day! I’d been training for this for…….. Oh wait, I didn’t! BIG mistake. We signed up as a team of 3 – me, my friend (L) and her cousin (S). Well, it turns out those two are a hell of a lot fitter than I am! Me, L, hubby & little man turned up around an hour before the race started, parked up and then waited for S to arrive. It was so busy with a heck of a lot of people taking part and all their spectators. 96.9 Viking FM radio station were also there, spurring everyone …
Live Below The Line – Day 5 #livebelowtheline
So here it is. The end is nigh. Well, the end of the day anyway, I’ve actually just had my ‘last supper’. But for billions, this last supper comes every day, and after living it for 5 days, it is completely unjustifiable. How I am feeling today – exhausted, lethargic, shaky, hungry. That’s just physically. I’ve been through many emotions too. I will write more in a separate post on a reflection of the week. I’m too tired to even write this post to be honest, but it’s my final food update, so here goes.
Live Below The Line – Day 4 #livebelowtheline
Day 4 of the challenge. Nearly there now! I didn’t go to bed too hungry last night, as I had a slice of bread not long before. I was SO tired though and was in bed way before hubby; I was freezing too so went to get little man out of his bed to snuggle as he radiates heat! No waking in the middle of the night either, and I wasn’t very hungry when I woke up – I think I’m getting used to the hunger now as I haven’t actually felt it much today. I have been shattered though. …
