Reading Roald Dahl's BOY to my sons & a nervous giggle slipped out as I began to relate. Replace "drink" & "whiskey" with "chocolate" & it might be me 😅

Tomorrow I get back to work on my next book. I've taken some time off & rebooted in Rarotonga. Sometimes the mind screams for some care & I'm glad I listened. Looking forward to completing this MS! #mentalhealth #amwritingagain

Big day here in Aotearoa!! Let’s go TOITU TE TIRITI!! 🖤🤍❤️#Hikoi #arohanui #kotahitanga

We'll be back, Rarotonga. You were a dream 🌴💙 #cookislands

Little books can have big impacts 🧡 #kidslit #whānau

For me, breastfeeding is the most challenging around year one. Wriggling little scratching milk monsters 🙃 #breastfeeding

Last day in Raro 😔

Was at the crappy place reading NZ v Arg rugby thread & I scrolled straight to a horrific image of a deceased child. It took me a good few secs to comprehend what I was seeing. They #'d it to appear there. I feel so sick. Reported but not hopeful.

Was looking to write/submit a flash fiction piece & was having a nosey at what I've submitted in the past. Turns out last year I was short-listed for one & I had no idea 😅 Must've missed that email! Saturday confidence boost 🥰

All Blacks shining a little bit of light in our whare this morn #rwc

Woke up fairly sombre re NZ Elections & Auz Voice Ref but we will cont to move forward & keep our voices positive & strong ✌️

October is filling up with kids' school events & sports/practices. Somewhere in there I'll need a day off to push out this baby 🤰😅🥰
