Here’s our last monthly family photo of the year… I’m keeping the first one in because I love that Athena has her eyes closed! We took these a couple of days ago on our way home from Norfolk, at a country park just off the M25 somewhere, that also happened to have a fair an elf garden! We spent a…
See ya 2018! Here’s my last ‘little loves’ post of the year, a catch up on what I’ve read, watched and heard etc. Read I’ve read a tonne of books in December, mostly because I didn’t work/use my laptop/do much on the internet over Christmas. My favourites this month were This is Going to Hurt and The Neighbors (which…
People show attachment and love with their close ones. There may be some loved people like parents, brother, and sister in everyone’s life. You can show your gratitude and affection to them on a particular occasion. As the new year is coming, you can plan different gifts surprises to your loving brothers and sisters. If you want to make your…
I have grown to like Christmas, having kids has changed things for me in a lot of ways but their excitement on the run up to Christmas is something that gives me all the feels! I was never really keen on Christmas, possibly because I am an only child so never really had anyone to share it all with growing…
We spent a weekend away a couple of weeks ago, staying in Kent to see Santa at Leeds Castle but wanted to find something else locally to do, and Ightham Mote was a national trust property we’d not visited before! It was cold and crisp but lovely day and we wandered around the grounds doing a little Victorian Christmas trail, where…
Do you cringe at having your photo taken or loathe selfies because you have crooked teeth? Have you always dreamed of having a Hollywood smile? Well innovations in dentistry mean there are plenty of pain-free options available to help get you smiling like a star on the red carpet. Teeth straightening is so much easier than it used to be.…
Being able to cook is one of the few skills which every human should have. Giving you the chance to save money on food, make yourself healthier, and opening the doors to loads of exploration, this sort of field is a joy to be a part of, but it can take a long time to learn. With this being so…
For a woman, turning 40 is generally a big deal. Is this definitely the end of your youth? Women are used to being judged on their appearance first and foremost, and all the more so if they’re in the public eye. Whether you subscribe to the view that 40 is the new 30, or that life begins at 40, it’s…
So this is a fairly morbid subject for this time of year, but it’s something that I feel I need to do to ‘get my ducks in a row’ as it were. What would happen if I popped my clogs tomorrow? There are so many things that Sam would struggle with- not including the emotional aspects of losing a wife!…
Last weekend the kids got to see Santa again, we went to Marwell at the end of November, but when we were offered that trip I had already purchased tickets to see the man in red at Leeds Castle and booked a night in a hotel near by too – so the lucky ducks got to see him twice! Thankfully…
It’s the last ‘Siblings’ post of the year, and I’ve loved sharing little snippets about these two over the past year, and must make a little collage of all the months at some point! These photos were taken last weekend at Ightham Mote in Kent, when we were away for the weekend and I think they might be my favourite…
So I’ve been pretty quite about my exercise and healthy eating journey that I so enthusiastically started early in the year… because I gave up. But then a new gym opened up near me and had a really low monthly price for people who joined up early and I did in the summer and then suddenly before I knew it…
