Disclosure: this post contains affiliate links & gifted items. Christmas is fast approaching, I’ve almost finished my wrapping, and I’m feeling pretty organised. We are having a pretty relaxed Christmas, just spending some of the day with my Mother in Law who is our closest (geographically!) relative – and our support bubble person! To be …
Ad Disclosure: Sponsored Post. Something I don’t talk a lot about here is my experience as an Air Cadet from the ages 11 to 18. It was a huge part of my teen years and helped shape me into the person I am today. I learned a lot of life skills from the Girls Venture …

I was pregnant at the time so I got hilariously emotional about saying goodbye to …
For the last week of the summer holiday, we headed down to North Cornwall to visit my parents. The girls were so excited to see them for the first time this year, and were counting down the days until we left. Lydia meticulously packed outfits for each day – my youngest does like to co-ordinate …

I’ve debated with myself whether or not to write this post; does the world really need another blog post about the coronavirus?

To all my readers, friends, fellow bloggers, and everyone else – Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I’ll probably be mostly offline for the next month as I have been given a surgery date for mid January to have my troublesome gallbladder removed, so I’ll see you all on the other side. I hope …
