I have been following 'Rachel Eats for a while. She is a British woman living in Rome with her young son. I guess it is a foodie blog, but she also writes about living in Italy. She writes beautifully, posts up mouth watering recipes and gives one a real insight into the highs and lows of living abroad.
Today she posted a very personal post about her difficult - often destructive - past relationship with food. It moved me to tears. I guess most of us have some kind of foodie issue. I have my own. She put into words what I only feel, but am unable to articulate. It was powerful and moving. Painful and honest.

Olly did his once weekly marathon three hour nap this afternoon, and woke up very bad tempered. Why does he do that? I wonder if I am keeping him too busy with our daily adventures. Perhaps he needs some quiet time every day. I have a difficult internal relationship with being a stay at home mum. I feel guilty that I am able to be at home when so many mums I know are having to work. I'm not sure why I feel this way. I still have to process that one. However I have decided that Olly and I will have a chill day tomorrow. Perhaps I need to chill too!
