It’s Friday and that means only one thing…. Gros Islet baby!!!

I get dressed up and then we the bus to Gros islet and off we went.

I took munch and sis to Dukes bbq for some delicious bbq tuna, rice and salad then we had a fun time until it started to rain just after 11pm.
We have a favourite bar that we like to sit in and watch the antics 😉

Then we hopped into a taxi back to our Airbnb just after 11pm as it was starting to rain

A few pics of our little trip back home to St Lucia for Munch’s 10th Birthday.

It’s been 3 years since we stepped on the soil of St Lucia and more for my sister who came with us.

Due to health reasons this wouldn’t have been possible if it was just me and munch so my sister came with us. It has been a lovely chilled and restorative break for me and munch and actually also for my sister. We have rested, slept, eaten and enjoyed the warm weather.

Being back home just restores the soul in ways other breaks away can’t. It’s about the people, the culture and the food, but mainly it’s been the people.
We have been love bombed and seen people we haven’t seen in years 🥰

Our cups overflows with the love and affection we have received

St Lucia we will be back…..

But for now we will enjoy our last few days of relaxation

This year as with every year we celebrate with our boobie baubles and homemade Christmas decorations as well as a select few we have collected over the years.
Bo***es have been a big part of me and munches life and we love to honour that when we decorate our tree. Each decoration has deep meaning for us. Munch has made a decoration each year for our tree and we will continue this tradition. We like to collect a new decoration to add to the tree each year that represents what the year has meant for us that year. Whether it’s Munch’s love of dinosaurs, a new adventure that year or something silly that made us smile.
As we decorate the tree each year we talk about the decorations and remember the good memories

What do you have on your Christmas tree this year?
Do you have any tree traditions that you would like to share?

( Didn’t think this needed saying but don’t blindly share this post, but think before sharing, my post is a personal journey as well as a sign of celebration during Black Breast feeding week )

Black breastfeeding week
Rooted in success
Grounded in community

My success story of 9.5 years (15/01/16-27/07/25)

We successfully got to 9.5 years because of the support of the people in our village/community, that’s not to say that any of my family were supportive in fact it was the opposite and they were quite verbal about it too 😢

Your nursing support community/village can be anyone in your life

The village/ community is a vital part of a nursing journey, they are the bra for the tata’s, the gravy for your meat, the food for your soul.

Without a supportive community the emotional load can be overwhelming and disruptive to your journey

Munch nursed through the happiness in his life, the adventures, while we travelled abroad, in the middle of the night, while watching tv, on a bus, at museums and parks and aquariums, through the illnesses and the many hospital visits and also through his ASD diagnosis

Munch has an amazing spark, he is sassy ( like his mama) an avid foodie, an animal lover, a parkour enthusiast, an eager learner and a loving soul.
My one regret is not taking enough nursing pictures from day one, most have been taken because I thought we were ending our journey

If is see a parent nursing, offer to take more pictures of their journey, support them authentically, be open to understanding their journey.

Whether a parent chooses to nurse for one day, one week or one year or longer they need support and understanding

Some of you may know that I am a firm advocate for informed, fact based care and support for parents and that I am also a big advocate for parents to be their authentic self and to do what they feel is best for their own family.

We’ll today I’m going to blow my own trumpet and say how proud I am to be a part of a photography series called the milk project showcasing nursing children outside the mainstream age of up to 1-2 yrs old.

I was super chuffed to see myself and munch on page 41 of the latest JUNO Magazine today as it arrived in the post 😍

We made the decision last week to end our nursing journey after an amazing 9.5 yrs.
It’s great to end on our own terms and on a positive note. Before we decided to stop munch was nursing maybe 1/2 times every 2/3 weeks so it wasn’t much of a transition for us.

Today me and munch are having a bye bye b***y party.

We have had a great journey but it is time to say bye bye to b***y time.

We would love to go natural term completely but due to me needing to take medication that we can’t nurse on we have made the decision to stop.

It has been an eye opener in many ways and I would not change our journey for all the money in the world.

We have a beautiful connective wholesome relationship and we have some amazing photos of our journey for us to look back on and remember.

9.5 yrs ago I never thought about breastfeeding Micah but look where we are now 🥰

I would like to thank everyone who has supported us on our journey, we wouldn’t be here without you and we love and thank you from the bottom of our hearts ♥️

Sending you all virtual b***y cupcakes to share in our celebration 🎉🎉

World cancer day is today 4th Feb

Few words from me a 48 year old woman ( I know I look sexy oh la la for my age don’t I 😉 )

Cancer affects everyone

I found a lump in my breast when I was 19, I was terrified and also in denial for a few weeks. Eventually I went to my dr and he fast tracked me to the hospital for further investigation, they decided to go for a biopsy but I opted for the limp to be removed as I knew that just knowing it was there while waiting for results would drive me crazy. While this was all happening there was other family issues going on, my paternal grandfather was also in hospital and it was touch and go whether he would make it, suffice to say I was masking and pretending I wasn’t cacking my panties about the result and because I was hiding my fears I internalised and no one around noticed what I was going through. Those weeks were some of the scariest of my life. Luckily it was just some fatty tissue and I was in the clear.

I had another scare when a routine smear came back inconclusive and I had to go for a check as I had some polyps in my uterus. This happened when I was 37. Luckily these were also nothing.
My maternal grandmother and maternal aunt have both had cancer, one had a breast removed and the other had invasive surgery so I am very scared every time I see lumps or have inconclusive test results.
Please check your family history and check yourselves, support your friends to investigate any abnormal lumps, or symptoms.
So far I’ve been lucky but know a few people who have not been so lucky.

I’m in awe of my friends and family that are battling Cancer and the lessons they are teaching me about embracing life and finding joy, love and support in the things around us

Today I salute you 👏🏾

Can’t believe my munchkin is going to be 9 tomorrow.

Tonight we are snuggling up in bed together talking about the past and remembering good times

January birthdays are hard especially if it’s a week after mine 😉
Both of us being Capricorn’s mean we do buck beads more often than I would like and we are both stubborn as hell 🤣

Luckily munch doesn’t mind the cold on his birthday and would love to wake up to snow on his birthday and is looking forward to toasted marshmallows over the bbq 🔥
He is also looking forward to his birthday bo***es tomorrow morning 🤣🤣🤣

9 years of Munch ….. I’m not sure how we got here but here we are.
I would not change him for my weight in gold and I’m a fat juicy mama🤣😂🤣😂
***es
#9

Happy 48 to me 🍾🎉🎂

The munchkin is away with his second mummy, 2 of his sisters and his nieces and I’m enjoying my Non alcoholic Prosecco

I don’t often get a munchkin free day but I’m going to enjoy it today while I relax and wait to be taken out for dinner later 🥰
