About
Hey there, I’m Daisy!
At 46, I’m figuring out this beautiful mess of life in the North West of England with my 7-year-old daughter who I absolutely adore and our dog Wolfie who’s basically our furry child.
So How Did I Get Here?
A few years back, I was just getting the hang of single mum life and wanted somewhere to share both the amazing moments and the total disasters (because let’s be real, there are plenty of both!). This blog started as my little space to connect with other mums going through similar stuff, but it’s grown into something I never expected.
I grew up in Malaysia in a family that was always hustling just to make ends meet. My childhood taught me one thing that’s stuck with me: time with the people you love is everything. My parents worked so hard that I often wished for more moments with them—something that shapes how I parent today.
After my marriage of 13 years fell apart during COVID (ugh, thanks pandemic), I had to completely reimagine my life. But honestly? Sometimes the things that seem like they’re breaking you are actually making way for something better.
My Not-So-Straightforward Path to Motherhood
Getting to be a mum was my own personal marathon. 9 rounds of IVF, 4 heartbreaking miscarriages, and fertility treatments in three different countries later—my daughter finally arrived. After all that, every tantrum, messy room, and 3 AM wake-up call feels like a gift (well, most days anyway!).
Why I Jumped Ship from the “Regular” Life
I had a solid real estate business going, but something wasn’t clicking. So I did what any reasonable person would do—I put it all on the back burner to stay home with my girl and try to make money online instead! Terrifying? Absolutely. The best decision I’ve ever made? Also yes.
This blog is for women like me—over 40, with good taste and good sense. Women who might have some cash to spend but are too smart to waste it. Women who know that midlife isn’t about desperately clinging to youth—it’s about finally knowing who the heck you are and what actually looks good on you!
One day while typing away on yet another blog post, it hit me: I want my daughter to see her mum going after big dreams. I want her to watch me fall flat on my face sometimes and get back up anyway. If she learns nothing else from me, I want her to know that it’s never too late to build the life you want.
What You’ll Find Here
I share pretty much everything I’m learning along the way:
- How I’m building businesses from my kitchen table (sometimes literally)
- My adventures selling books on Amazon and random crafts on Etsy
- How I’m investing in property even though I’m not rolling in cash
- All my weird systems for keeping the house from burning down while running a business
- The real, messy journey of doing life as a single mom
Let’s Connect
Thank you so much for being here and taking the time to read my blog. I truly believe there’s never been a more exciting time to be a woman in midlife. We’re rewriting the rules, breaking old stereotypes, and showing the world that this chapter can be just as bold, beautiful, and full of possibility as any other.
This isn’t the end — it’s a whole new beginning. So if you’re ready to dream bigger, live more freely, and walk your own path, I hope you’ll stick around. Let’s inspire each other, lift each other up, and blaze this trail together. Life isn’t about perfection or having it all figured out. It’s about trying, learning, adjusting, and sharing what works along the way.
