Three weeks in my lovely mountain village in the Italian Alps. For those of you who are curious, it’s Altopiano di Asiago. Three weeks of endless family meals, impromptu gatherings with old friends, and the kind of deep conversations that happen when you’re sitting around a table long after the dishes should have been cleared...
Breaking Free from Digital Overload – Embrace Digital Minimalism At the start of this year, I set the intention to read more. Not just casually, but with purpose—taking notes, reflecting on what resonates, and capturing those key takeaways. I’ve read plenty of books over the years, but I’ve learned that unless I write down the...
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.

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
Originally published on 19th August 2020 – World Photography Day When I first wrote this post, I hadn’t yet dreamed up Milk Tales, my breastfeeding photography book. But as I look back, I can see that the seeds were already there. So here’s a slightly updated version of my story, a little peek into how...
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...
