So, I’ve been wrestling with this whole phone addiction habit thing lately. It’s like this magical device that sucks us in, right? Endless scrolling, reading, learning, and even games—it’s a real time-sucker! But hey, I’m on a mission to break free from the phone trap and get stuff done. Where did all this awareness start?...
This morning, I decided to break away from my usual walking routine and take a mindful walk. I live near the Richmond Lock so I went along the beautiful and peaceful path along the river. Armed with just my phone (not my trusty professional camera), I embraced the opportunity to be fully present and appreciate...
Recently, I’ve been diving deep into the question of why I do what I do. It’s not the first time I’ve pondered this, but with each passing year and each new experience, my “why” seems to evolve. So, what exactly do I do? Well, I’m a portrait photographer based in London, specializing in motherhood photography....
New Year’s Resolutions – they’ve got a bit of a mixed reputation, haven’t they? You’ve probably heard people dismiss them, claiming they never work. The other day I asked my 12-year-old daughter what New Year’s resolutions she has and she told me none because they don’t work! So not sure where this belief comes from...
I don’t really have any resolutions, but I do want to get back to eating keto again, and getting more active with stepping/walking again so I can lose the weight I need to. Working on my 2 smaller blogs as well, although now I have the target to get to Mediavine on my main blog which I just missed out on this month by 300 sessions, so I need to sort out my SEO. And stopping nagging my son about his homework and projects because he gets really annoyed with me doing it, but I think he needs the kick otherwise he just won’t get the grades he is capable of.ReplyCancel
19th August 2020 – It’s World Photography Day and I thought what a better day for sharing a little bit about my journey into motherhood photography. I specialise in Maternity and Newborn Photography so motherhood photography embraces them all. I always loved taking and looking at photographs. When I was little, my dad enjoyed photography,...
Right now in Venice it’s Carnival! A very festive time of the year when you can dress up as you want and go around your town or city with your little friends throwing colourful confetti all over. I know ( apart from the confetti probably) you can have a carnival every day here in the...
I didn’t realise how long this half-term was! There are more holiday days than Christmas!! In Italy, there are normally a few days off for Easter, usually around a week’s time and I still need to get used to the English school system! I will get it one day 🙂 We stayed in London and...

Scrolling is one my bad habits. I need to reduce my scrolling time. Thank you for sharing this article.
I know, it was my main time waster. Even if for work I have to use it, it’s so distracting! Thanks for reading.
I completely understand the struggle with phone addiction. Your tips from ‘Atomic Habits’ are spot-on. I also keep my phone in another room at night and silence notifications for better sleep. It’s small changes like these that add up. Thanks for sharing your insights!
That would be next level. I still have it next to me at night with notification off of course. But I need the alarm, I’m not sure I would hear it from another room! 🙂
