A MAGICAL, WINTERY EVENING AT DISNEY ON ICE

IT all started with a dress. This dress. A special Frozen dress (which lights up and has a magical brooch and everything!) Yep, Elsie would go to…Disney On Ice Presents World Of Enchantment, courtesy of the kind people at Sheffield Motorpoint Arena who invited me, Elsie and two guests (my sister Sal and niece Ella) as their VIPs on the front row.

CAN WE JUST QUIT WITH THE BULLS**T? (AKA FAKERY)

I DON’T know what’s happened to me over the past few months. But I do know this. No longer can I stand fakery. No longer can I stand the not so sweet smell of bulls**t that seems to linger pretty much everywhere these days. Do you know what I mean?! I’ve talked about it a few times on my blog previously. About the importance of being honest and authentic. And

Ate lots. Drank lots. And even managed a bit of a lie in too. But enough about what we go up to (although I’ll

LIFE STUFF I STILL NEED TO LEARN AS I TURN 36 (!)

I KNOW nothing. Ok, so maybe not nothing but definitely, very little. If I was an owl, I would be rubbish, because you know they’re supposed to be wise and well, I’m far from that. Yet. It’s my birthday tomorrow and I will be turning the ripe young age of 36. And so, last night when I was thinking what to write about today, I thought, I know! I’ll share

OUR NEW ADDITION…? A CHRISTMAS TREE!

THERE’S so much to love about Christmas… But in my opinion, the best bit of all. The thing I most love (besides the booze and presents that is) is the Christmas tree. And to be more specific, putting up and decorating our Christmas tree. Since being a wee nipper, nothing makes me feel more festive than battling with some branches, dangling some lights and getting tangled in some tinsel. Sure

SEVEN THINGS THAT STOP ME READING YOUR BLOG

THERE are millions of blogs out there. Millions. Millions of people sharing their stories, giving intimate glimpses of their lives and hoping to be noticed. It’s hard to get your blog out there. It takes time, effort, resilience, creativity and bags of determination. But if you’re not careful, a couple of bad moves (or one if you’re unlucky) and all that hard work of yours can go to pot. Attracting people
