BEFORE I HAD ELSIE…

IT’S Elsie’s 3rd birthday today! *beams* Watching your child grow older is a funny ol’ bittersweet thing. In some ways it feels like the past three years has gone by in a blink of an eye. In others, it feels like I’ve packed more into the past three years than I have in the last thirty! I really wanted to write something to celebrate Elsie’s birthday, and so when I

SPONSORED POST: ‘PUT ON THE RITZ’ WITH YOUR SNACKS

  I LOVE a good crisp. In fact you could say I’m partial to them. Some like sweet stuff – chocolates, cake etc – but me? Well I’m all about the savoury.

I DO SO LOVE A GOOD ‘LYST’ (WHEN IT COMES TO CLOTHES)

BY my own admission, I am far from being the most organised person in the world. But there’s one area in my world, one little area, which I am not chaotic with or about.

DEALING WITH ‘LIGHT KILLERS’ – PEOPLE WHO TRY TO MAKE YOU FEEL SMALL

I WAS at University when my ‘best’ friend delivered a scathing comment. “What has happened to you? I mean look at you! You used to be so glamorous!” From that statement, you’re probably imagining all sorts right? Had I ‘let myself go’? Was I on drugs? Had I not washed my hair?! No, no, no. I’d simply turned up to greet my friend at the train station wearing jeans, a

MY LOVE FOR FREELANCING (PLUS TIPS FOR THOSE WHO FANCY DOING IT TOO)

I’M feeling super proud of myself this month. Because I’ve made it to a bit of a milestone. I’ve made it to five years as a freelancer. Yes folks, I’ve been working for myself, freelancing, hustling and spinning many a plate to earn a decent living for the past five years. When I took the leap from the safety of employment into the scary unknown world of self-employment, I really

TWO LOVELY PLACES TO VISIT IN ‘THE LAKES’ WITH KIDS

A COUPLE of months ago, we spent a glorious few days in the beautiful Lake District. We stayed in a fabulous gypsy caravan (and oh and how we loved it!) and whilst we were there, we went to see a few local attractions as a family. Now Elsie is almost three, we are loving having all kinds of fun, visiting new places with her and watching her learn, explore and
