reading – Emma's Writing Things

What a week! Child #3 has had a cold and naturally, it went straight to his chest and asthma. We had a few sleepless nights, but thankfully he’s coming out the other side without needing antibiotics for a change! ⭐️⭐️ Despite the sleepless nights, I’ve stayed on schedule with my clients. Things are progressing wonderfully […]

Trying Not To Be Chair Shaped #11

My Week In Writing

What a week! This week I’ve committed extra hours at the desk to catch up on my workload. I missed out on a couple of days last week because my three-year-old was sick. Then I got sick which slowed me down, too. All better now! This week I’ve spent time updating a manuscript for a […]
