Not Neglecting
Posted on 11:44am Sunday 7th August 2011
It has been a busy couple of weeks for me as I have been putting alot of work into my Novel, catching up with family, friends and networking. Having a child home for summer holidays takes up most my time as he has disabilities and needs to know what is going on at all times. He gets bored quite quickly and I have to step in to fill in the gaps and encourage him.

Where's the common sense in that?
Posted on 9:23pm Monday 1st August 2011

Book Review: My Body Belongs to Me By: Jill Starishevsky
Posted on 3:40pm Thursday 14th July 2011
The book “My Body Belongs to Me” is a wonderful book that teaches children who and what to do if they are have been or is suffering from Sexual Abuse. It educates them in a way with rhyme and illustrations and encourages a child that it is okay to tell an adult when you have been touched in a private area, whether it is a teacher, parents, police officer or anyone who will listen. And keep telling until someone does believe you.

Our Belfast holiday
Posted on 12:18pm Sunday 10th July 2011
If like me you remember the daily news broadcasts from Northern Ireland during the 1970s and 80s, Belfast might not seem an obvious choice as a holiday destination.

Surprise it’s a Gallstone!
Posted on 11:24am Sunday 3rd July 2011
What a shocker it is to be sleeping soundly dreaming, only to be woken up by sharp pains in your stomach. I was just dreaming about pains in my stomach when I awoke to the exact same situation? It is kind of ironic. The pains came and went until 6:30 am then they seemed to have gotten worse. I was able to tolerate it until about 10:30am. My son whom has special needs, called 999 for an ambulance. I am so proud of him.
