Not because I am so well researched and personally affected (I am of colour, but not black) and I certainly don’t intend to tell you what to think, but because I think many people share the same thoughts as me and I want to tell them it’s OK. #blacklivesmatter #icantbreathe

Coming into motherhood and as the years rolled on I realise the challenge of making quality time a priority with my family and yet how important it is. I didn’t expect it to come so purposefully. I also didn’t realise how the demands of chores and commitments can take over and then one day you wake up and re-evaluate and realise how those beautiful babies are just hitting their teenage years…
