About Me

Eilidh Horder and Suki the cat on shoulder B&W

Hi! I'm Eilidh, a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser, lucky enough to spend lots of time with my two children (who, incidentally, have superpowers), two cats, Fido the Romanian rescue dog, and our new additions, three little rats.

The aim of this emotional and mental health blog is to share my experiences and reach out to others who might relate - a little reminder that we are not alone 🥰

Let’s talk about finding deeper meaning, peace, acceptance and self-knowledge. Love is all!

Turn down the white noise and find your own song!

If you sprinkle
While you tinkle
Be a sweetie
Wipe the seatie!

I'm preparing a piece for my blog which has gone a bit quiet (been juggling 'home-schooling', looking for work, doing the work, moving to a new country during a pandemic & living in an (rather awesome & perfect location) AirB&B, all the usual stuff 🤣). 

💙 I miss my blog so maybe you could help me out by answering one question - and I'll use your answers in the next piece! 💙

🤔 If you were to meet your younger self... and could give one piece of advice... what would it be? 🤔

👇 Answers in the comments 👇please (I'll go first)... ✨✨✨
