WELCOME TO THE B WORD

This is my very own passion project filled with unique and engaging content regarding my life. From moving states (again) at age 35, adjusting to becoming a step-Mum & then wife, understanding & supporting my husband’s depression & anxiety, our infertility experience & my ongoing challenges with weight & health; I hope you enjoy immersing yourself in these words. For those walking similar paths to what I have done, I hope you find some of this relatable and perhaps useful!
