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 and Fido the Romanian rescue dog.

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!

🚸I'd decided to homeschool just before lockdown 🚸I'd decided to homeschool just before lockdown, and moved from the Belgian Ardennes to East Sussex, where I'd heard there were countless opportunities for a varied home-schooling journey🚸 📓I envisaged my time split between discussing art history during sunny beach picnic breakfasts (‘Let’s talk about where the term ‘Impressionist’ comes from,’ I say, pointing out to the sunrise…), teaching maths skills at the local market purchasing fresh produce for dinner later, dropping the children off for group home-education activities so I could have ‘me time’ (or ‘work-for-money time’!), and then chuntling them home for a wee session of mama-lessons on, say, how to cook a meal from fresh veggies we’d selected earlier at the farmers’ market 📓 (or something 🤣) Yes, I was slightly delusional 😂 but I can safely blame Covid-19 for scuppering my plans... Workshops organised by My HELM saved the sanity of my kids... not to mention me! Links in bio to my Blog or you can click straight to My HELM workshops 😆 See you there? ***** Just some of the incredible coaches have included and include @digi.training @simon_boing and @nicksayers #bloggersofinstagram #blogger #mentalhealthblog #emotionalhealthblog #writer #writersofinstagram #wellbeing #wellbeingwriter #kidshealth #homeschool #homeschooling #home-education #home-educating #eastsussexhomeed #eastsussex #brightonandhove #kidsmentalhealth

🥰 Not my average blog post 🥰 (link in bio o 🥰 Not my average blog post 🥰 (link in bio or type in 'eilidh horder' to find my blog) 😡 I wrote this poem when I feared for the lives of loved ones 😡 Sometimes ‘experts’ who are supposed to protect children from domestic abuse get it wrong and this has devastating consequences. This is for all those mothers living in fear, adult survivors of abuse, mothers with children murdered by spouses or ex-partners and other victims of domestic abuse. I unearthed my poem because during the current pandemic, cases of domestic abuse have risen. Women and children cooped up with their abusers heightens tensions and directly translates as a surging risk of harm or even death. 🎙I’ve added a recording of myself reading 🎙 😡 I might sound angry. It makes me angry 😡 But I hope you ‘enjoy’ it… 🙏 Peace and Love! 🙏 *** #amwriting #writerslife #poem #poetry #rhyme #poetryandrhyme #letitout #angryrhyme #creativityisaforce #creativeenergy #domesticabuse #cafcass # #mentalhealthblog #emotionalhealthblog #writer #writersofinstagram #wellbeing #wellbeingwriter #wellness #healthandwellbeing #bloggersofinstagram #blogger #mentalhealthawareness #peaceandlove
