One of my guilty pleasures, like many people I’m sure, is looking round other people’s houses. Not in person of course but from the comfort of my own sofa, under a blanket with a plate of biscuits. I’m talking about ‘The Rightmove Game’ where you try and find the nicest/ugliest/biggest/funniest looking house in an area. The sort of search I…
Rightly or wrongly, the world we live in is cosmetic. The things we do, we often do to show off. It’s one of the reasons Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are market leaders today. And you know what? There’s nothing wrong with a bit of peacocking now and again. Sure, too much of it is indulgent and a little self-centred. But…
I’ll admit I’ve been a bit slack on the personal posts recently, I’m barely managing to get my Sunday Scrapbook posts up every week even! I think this is mostly because I am spending time each week editing our family ‘week in the life’ style vlogs- and although they’re never that long it still takes time… mostly because I have…
Brunch is not something I partake in regularly, as I have two small children who wake up at the crack of dawn, so I am always hungry by 8am if not earlier. However when I do get the opportunity to enjoy brunch I will always try and make it work! So for that reason this morning I packed the kids…
https://jknowles.com/There’s nothing more satisfying than having your love story captured through the lens of a camera. While smartphones, Facebook, Snapchat and a whole raft of picture-snapping opportunities have given us wonderful opportunities to record and share special moments, there’s still nothing quite like the professional couples photo shoot to capture the ultimate romantic photograph. Engagements and weddings are the usual…
You might work somewhere that gives you a lot of freedom in how you are able to dress and define your choice of uniform. However, there is a lot to be said for staying fashionable in your choices of workwear. There are lots of places that provide fashionable options for work uniforms, from high street stores to specialised suppliers such as…
Credit Literature is full of gorgeous locations, from ranging moors to beautiful buildings and architecture. The best books describe these destinations so well that you can see them in your mind, losing yourself as you read. Leaving your own four walls behind and living for a little while in these stunning places. Sometimes, these words are from another world. Far…
If you consider yourself a lover of film and TV then there’s no better holiday idea than to visit the set of your favourite movie or show. Films are shot all over the world and many of these famous sets are turned into lucrative tourist attractions that gather plenty of people from all over the world. For true die-hard fans…
I am irritated at myself for not getting us out int he snow for a family photo this month, as all of last year we managed to get nice outdoor photos for our monthly photo project, but alas February and it’s 28 days got the better of me, as did another bout of tonsillitis (which explains my strained smile and…
Both my kids absolutely love puzzles and now I know that Arlo is as interested in putting them together rather than wrecking them, the kids can actually spent quite a lot of time together with their puzzle collection (though I still have to make sure the bits go back in the right boxes!) We’ve been sent two puzzles recently which…
Every time I’m feeling a bit down between now and forever I am going to look at this photo! I know I am biased but my word they’re cute! We were sent these Very Hungry Caterpillar costumes in advance of world book day (you can buy them from TU at Sainsbury’s and online) and I LOVE them! They’ve got removable…
At the end of last week I genuinely thought that we would be packing away all the thick coats and hats and gloves really soon, but then the temperatures suddenly dropped again and we’re still firmly in woolly layers- I even had to order a thermal top for Athena for her forset school sessions! But, even though spring may…
