Sweet Spot Baby Boy & Girl Names outside the Top 150 that are perfectly placed for your little one SJ Strum 2024-06-17 | My Tip for this list is to open up your name list or have your sibling names there and try pairing them: - which ones really elevate the sounds you love but maybe you hadn't thought of listing?- which change the overall vibe of your sibling's name? A more modern or more playful name might perfectly compliment a more traditional name or the other way around.- if you're worried you haven't nailed you name style - list your top 3 in each gender and see the similarities, if will kick start your naming in a new directionIf you're struggling to agree on a Baby Name - the 'sweet spot' in baby naming hits just outside the Top 150 where the less 'you-nikue' monikers lie or the ones you have to feel really Daring to use. These are my selection from the UK charts, they aren't easy picks but add that sprinkle of flavour that your baby name list may need to get you over into Love not Like!Happy Baby Name Monday SJ xxx#babynames #baby

What Grief Feels Like At The One Year Mark - Grief Guilt, Looking For Signs, Coping With Loss... SJ Strum 2024-05-29 | It's been one year since my sister Naomi died & if you're watching this video grieving or in anticipatory grief or just to learn about how grief is - I'm grateful you're here, sorry if you're part of this club and I'm sending genuine love if you're hurting right now. It still feels as unreal to type that my sister died as it did one year ago; this year has been horrific in many ways - one step forward and 5 steps back, physical pain and being unable to feel present or if I ever will feel any genuine happiness without the stab of the person I most want to share that with. Along with real highs, amazing moments that I have to be grateful for. I hope this reaches someone it helps; all experiences are my own from a grieving sister so please be kind in the comments - this is all about opening up a really vulnerable state which is grief so we don't have to hide it in the shadows. It's bringing our loved ones to life by speaking about them, honouring them in how much we miss them and creating a community where we can share these thoughts and feelings.Lots of love to you SJ xx

I'm hoping to get to more sit down, normal videos soon but for now - with the house full of painters - it's a chatty vlog!

My Sister Died Of Cancer / An End Of Life Story SJ Strum 2023-06-08 | There's so many ways to approach telling Naomi's end of life story; but I'll be true to what we always said we'd do and make the content we'd have wanted to hear. Honest and Open stories that help us prepare for what we were living through. I searched for stories that would make what came ahead easier for us; since she died I've listened to podcasts and watched all the TV Shows. She'd have wanted you to know how wonderful Hospice Care is. How much it was the piece of the puzzle we were struggling to fathom; it's life care, family care, your needs and things you couldn't do before are possible. They told me over 50% of people are there to go home again with a medical reset. But hospital isn't the best place, home isn't the best place - I wish I'd heard this story 2 years ago as it's not a sad story. It's a love story, and real love stories don't have endings. SJ xxx* hopefully you understand more people were involved in this story including her husband and her daughters and my parents. This is my story only so I only want to tell my part and what Naomi and I had shared for thoughts for this video in anticipation. We will welcome donations to St Richards Hospice in preference of flowers in Naomi's name: strichards.org.uk/support-us/give-in-memory
The Hard Part Of Cancer - An Update SJ Strum 2023-04-11 | A chatty raw update; as I know so many of you have us in your thoughts so I wanted to quickly let you know how we are and that Naomi is still here and up for messages of support or advice on survivingsupportingsisterhood instagram. Sorry the thumbnail is so blurry - my computer screen smashed - maybe a sign as I close off and focus on what's ahead. We just don't know how this part goes - nobody does I don't think. My dream is for immunotherapy to kick in as chemotherapy isn't so useful - for a summer in the garden - for the days to turn to weeks to turn to months. xxx
