Oh January how I haven’t missed you. It’s such a hard month to get into the swing of. Christmas and new year now feels a distant memory but I’m not yet ready to admit everything’s ‘back to normal’. My head is definitely still in a bit of a holiday mode! However after a shaky start i.e 1 lost tie and 1 soaking wet PE kit we are back! 2019 is here and I am actually already so excited about what this year will hold for me and my little family. 2018 wasn’t the best year for me, it had some…
A big goal for me for 2019 is to save more money. I definitely fall into the spender rather than saver category. Which means I need to be clever with my saving and look for little ways to cut the spending. These are my 16 realistic ways to save money everyday. They don’t involve me going without or saying no to things. For me it’s all about being smarter with my money to make it stretch that little bit further and allow me to put some away.

There is one word that stands out most when it comes to describing 2018..

The girls adjusted to longer hours at school and nursery like pro’s and I adjusted to juggling a thousand plates. I have a completely new…
This post will be short and sweet – Christmas 2018 has probably been my favourite to date. It’s been slow paced; full of food, laughs and family fun. I have loved it. Life has been so busy this year so the time off work and school has been so precious. I didn’t take many photos this year, I made a real conscious effort to be in the moment with the family, the few I did get I love! We made the most of this mild dry weather and headed for some scoots and bike rides when we weren’t busy with…
It’s fair to say I have had my share of minor car blunders since I hit the road 5 years ago. From locking the keys inside the car to flat tyres on the school run, I have been left a little red faced more than once. I would be lying if I said I had a vast knowledge in car maintenance I tend to leave it to someone else and when it does go all wrong I call my dad. It was getting a little ridiculous though, I figured it was about time I got to grips with the basics for…
