Let’s Talk About Period Underwear: An Overview, My Experiences and Reviews

Mummy Confessions: I have never considered myself to be extremely open about all that goes on with the human body, but there is something that needs to be said for reusable sanitary products and underwear. So, as life would have it, I’m on blood thinners for the time being (after an experience I will never forget) and that always makes for a lot of eventfulness for nearly two weeks out of the month. It just seems like it’s never-ending, and I love my depression treatment any products that may help to lessen the stress of leaking. I have been using Read More

Help, I’m Stuck At Home With the Kids: What Can I Do?

Mummy Confession: I’m not entirely panicking about being stuck at home with the kids. In fact, I rather enjoy the time spent together without too much of a schedule.

How Life Has Changed Since My May-Thurner Syndrome Diagnosis

Mummy Confession: I’m not certain much is different, as life seems to have moved on. A new normal will just have to be normal for now! It’s been three months since I had a stent placed in a collapsed vein. Three months since I woke from surgery with pain registering on the scale of 9-10 and had to slowly wean off of painkillers when the pain became a bit more manageable. Three months of wearing compression stockings, taking daily blood thinners and sleeping restlessly during the night with a pillow propped between my legs. Three months where I feel so Read More
