Q&A with Hiddy

By Slow Down
Yes, sometimes I rush too This week’s blog article is a little different. In my work developing digital courses and content for my slowing community, I’m always focused on you and giving you the most value and support I possibly can to learn how to slow down. But I also understand you want to know a bit more about me. Truthfully, it feels a bit awkward to talk about myself – I’m far more interested…

The importance of rest and relaxation

By Slow Down
You don't need anyone else's permission to slow down I’m not going to insult your intelligence by telling you it’s important to rest and relax. You already know that. So, let me ask you? If you understand the importance of rest and relaxation, why aren’t you doing it? Why aren’t you honouring yourself with time to recharge, time to daydream, time to just BE? I talk to LOTS of women and I’m struck by the…

By Self Love, Slow Down
It’s always there isn’t it? The list. You know what I’m talking about don’t you, busy mum? The ‘To Do list’ you keep in your head each day – the one that means you can’t slow down and waits to pop into your weary mind just as your head hits the pillow. The one that robs you of precious sleep and rest and takes up so much of your time there’s none left just for…

Hey you busy mum, slow down and make time to self love.

By Minimalist, Self Love, Slow Down
Reduce your feelings of rush and trying to fit it all in. Initiate your self love process instead!  Does that sentence give you goosebumps? Maybe it sounds like an impossible? Perhaps your mind simply wanders there in gentle curiosity, as a nudge to you to start thinking about concentrating more on yourself? A possible?  Being a mother, we know it can be easy to slip into a space where you hardly get time for you…

By DIY, Home Renovation, Slow Down
Do you adore your home and like me, little by little, love to pretty it up? Having a home which is gently and lovingly upgraded, reflecting you and your inner world is an absolute blessing I believe. This is all possible even if you are the owner of the house you dwell in or in some cases, even if you are not. Significant changes in your home can be either small or large; cost the…

Lets have a look.   I overheard someone say the other day … “I am doing this challenge with a friend at the moment; neither of us are buying a single new item of clothing in 2019. I have way too many clothes and too much stuff anyway, I don’t need anything else. I just need to simplify” she drifted off. This could mean living large…

What’s With All The Horses

By Slow Down
I know right, so far they are everywhere on both my site and my feed! Can I have ANY photos without them?! Well, yeah, sure, totally I can, but these photos you are seeing of me and my horses are one of those things that has been pivotal in this journey of mine and they have kinda resulted naturally in forming the flavour of me here.

If It’s Going To Be It’s Up To Me!

By Minimalist, Slow Down
I was starting to feel that even though we could have very happily spent the rest of our days in our beautiful retro old girl caravan we fondly call Evie, camped out on my gorgeous sister’s rural property, that it was time to consider where to next for us. Geographically, the run between school, my new work and where our horses were was fairly time consuming. I was very grateful and happy to do it,…
