Imagine a world pre electricity. Imagine not being able to flick on the lights as you enter the room, but having to navigate by oil lamp, or even more annoyingly, a flickering candle. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love candles, but as an atmospheric addition to the room rather than the only source of light! I’m grateful for…
I think I’m lucky in that I’ve only had to visit hospital rarely in my thirty odd years, and apart from two Cesarean sections when I had my children I’ve had three smaller operations; keyhole surgery to remove my appendix, re-setting of my wrist when I broke my arm and last year a colposcopy to remove pre-cancerous cells which was…
There’s no question that travelling is becoming increasingly popular – if you’re not jetting off across the globe anytime soon, you’ll definitely know someone who is. With that being said, there are plenty of things to be wary of amidst the uninhabited fun of exploring the world, especially if you’re planning more of an active, adventurous holiday. Here are just some…
You know that feeling of six long weeks stretching ahead of you, full of 6am wake up calls from a noisy and energetic three year old? Well that feeling was making me feel a little bit on edge a couple of weeks ago, but thankfully due to a well timed delivery of something fun for Arlo to play with he’s…
Rather ridiculously I’ve left writing about my trip to The Hague at the start of July a bit late, as I’ve been away twice since then so although I’ve not forgotten anything I did I have rather lost the oomph to write about it! I did make a short vlog of some snippets from my trip though, and have a…
It’s been a pretty good month for me, lots of freelance work as well as two little holidays! The first was a camping trip to Kent (you can see our camping set up here) and then a trip to The Hague on my own (I’ve not written about it yet but you can see a little video here!) Read I…
July has been a lovely month for us, but so busy too. The end of the school term, my pre-holiday panics about anything and everything (packing for this holiday, the fact that we’re away on the next one the day after we get back, how am I going to get work done with kids at home…) and Sam starting up…
Barcelona is on my list of European cities to visit, and fairly high up too! I’m always drawn to cities with a beach, and Barcelona is definitely not short of a beach, with 4.2km of sandy beaches, divided into four main areas. But even without the beaches there are so many amazing things to see and do in the city,…
We’re up in Norfolk at the moment, and I can’t believe one week of the holidays have gone already! We’re having a lovely time apart from all being too hot almost all the time. The rain when it arrived on Friday night was definitely welcome, and the cooler temperatures are much more comfortable. I find it so funny how so many…
If you have decided to adopt a healthier lifestyle, there is so much more to think about, other than what you look like on the outside. Health and fitness starts from within and is a combination of a healthy body and mind. Many people have lost the connection between mind and body and it’s time to rediscover the balance. Reconnecting…
Nearly all parents love the weekend. With school and work taking up most of the week, the weekends are the time to kick back together with the kids and reconnect and the best way to do that is through pure fun! Family night should occur once a week, and you don’t have to break the bank to make memories with…
