FRIDAY FIVE: Some body image inspiration…

I’VE been a little quiet on the blogging front of late. We’re having a new kitchen put in currently which means life is a little chaotic and so, finding the time to sit down and blog has been, shall we say, a challenge. Especially when there are more pressing matters to deal with such as, which kitchen tiles should we pick?! It’s serious stuff I tell you. ;-) Anyway, hopefully I’ll

FRIDAY FIVE: Five things I’ve learnt about people when it comes to success

AT the grand ol’ age of 33, here’s what I’ve figured out about people so far when it comes to success. 1) People will often underestimate you… And that’s ok. Let them. For it is their mistake. Smile sweetly, safe in the knowledge that your brilliance will one day shock them to their core and rejoice in their surprise when it does. It isn’t what other people think that counts,

FRIDAY FIVE: A mini collection of my motherhood musings…

THIS time last year I was in labour so as you can imagine, I’m feeling ever so reflective today! As we make the final preparations for Elsie’s first birthday tomorrow, I’ve been thinking a lot about how far we’ve come as a family and how being pregnant now seems like such a long time ago. So with is in mind – and because I’ve still got lots of birthday stuff

FRIDAY FIVE: Freelancing tips from yours truly…

I’VE been a very busy beaver this week giving my professional site a bit of a makeover. Quite astonishingly it’s coming up to three years since I quit my full time job and went freelance, so I decided it was definitely time for a bit of a revamp! I’m absolutely passionate about the joys of freelancing and fully supportive of anyone who has the courage to give it a try.

FRIDAY FIVE: A few recommended reads…

IT’S Friday, so it can only mean one thing. It’s time for another Friday Five post! Unfortunately this week hasn’t quite gone to plan as I’ve spent most of it looking after a very poorly and tired little girl. Elsie has experienced her first proper cold so has needed many cuddles and lots of TLC. (Don’t colds just suck?!) So the post I’d been planning to do will just have

FRIDAY FIVE: What NOT to do when you’re a new mum…(from a new mum, 11 months on)

MOTHERHOOD is a bundle of shoulds. You should be doing this. Your baby should be doing that. After being a mum for a whopping 11 months now (I can’t quite believe my little girl turns one in a few weeks!) I can safely say that I have never heard or been on the receiving end of so many shoulds. So whilst I wouldn’t dream of telling you what you should

FRIDAY FIVE: A Cornish holiday…

JUST a few weeks ago I was sat on a beach in beautiful Cornwall, listening to the waves and thinking, this is the life. Our little break definitely did us all the world of good and weather wise, well folks, we got pretty lucky. Not quite Carribean temperatures but perfectly pleasant indeed. For Elsie it was a week of firsts – her first touch of sand, her first ‘swim’ in
