There’s no niche here, just life. When I first started blogging in 2014 with my first blog (which sadly no longer exists), I tried so hard to find ‘my niche’ and focus on one thing, which is mainly why it came to a dead end. In the end, I should’ve stuck with what I was doing, which I am re-doing now, and posted content I enjoyed. Who cares if one week it’s about tips for working from home, and the following week it’s about my new kitchen shelf – our lives vary and things that spark an interest change all the time, so you’ll find a bit of everything here.
For years I’ve wanted personalised pumpkin decor in our home, but the cost has always put me off. When window shopping online, I was looking at around £30 for one medium-size pumpkin to have our family name on. Don’t get me wrong, they look great, but I couldn’t justify £30 on one piece of pumpkin […]

*affiliate links Autumn has been a miserable season so far with lots of rain and rather grey days, instead of crisp, sunny days with a slight chill. Although, despite the rather dull weather lately, it does make me lust over cosy moments indoors with my family. No relaxation would be involved with a nine month […]

Typically I buy myself a standard chocolate advent calendar for less than £3. But, I have dipped into more unique calendars in the past like The Body […]

Before I get stuck into showing the before and after photos of our lounge and where everything is from (although, you’re welcome to scroll right past this babble), I feel like I should give a backstory on why we chose the ‘before’, and why we opted for the ‘after’. When we moved into our first […]

*contains affiliate links. I love seasonal décor and I’m slowly expanding my own collection of seasonal garlands, door wreaths and other bits and pieces to update our home with as the seasons change. I’ve even got my fair share of Halloween decorations too: 2ft black trees pre-lit with orange lights, cobweb-style lace throws for the […]

And just like that, I enter a new decade. I’ve never been fussed by turning another year older and always believed in “age is just a number”. For some time I’ve been so excited to turn 30 – leave my 20’s behind and start a new decade of memories, now as a Mum (a tough […]

I always wanted a written version of my birth story to reflect back on. Throughout my pregnancy when asking friends and family about their experience, most of them had forgotten a lot of what happened and when. That’s completely understandable when so much goes on during it, and then your mind goes to mush once […]

Another year over, and another year of big improvements. This has certainly been the most challenging year for me, but also the most rewarding. Taking a break from work for my mental health If you caught my anxiety story, you’ll know I’ve been suffering with my mental health for a while, but in February it […]

Before we got married, we were never once asked as a couple, “when are you going to start trying?” or “are you pregnant?” when I refused a drink. The moment we became Mr & Mrs in May 2019, it was non-stop, including on the day itself. Heck, even at a funeral seeing relatives I hadn’t […]
