Garden makeovers

Summer has made it’s big arrival in the last couple of weeks and I for one am loving having the sun around, you wont catch me moaning about it being ‘too hot’. We have also had the less welcome arrival of chicken pox.. yay! The girls seem to be over the worse of it but we are limited to where we can go so the next week the garden will be in good use. It’s got me to thinking about what I would like to change about my garden or how my dream garden would look. Firstly it would be…

Spring Wardrobe Wishlist

The weather is on the up at last! This week I have actually left the house without a jacket on more than one occasion – wild I know. It means however I have been looking at my wardrobe and feeling a little bit uninspired, my main colour pallet for Autumn/winter is – Grey/black so not all that exciting but it’s what I find easy to throw on.  With spring here and the warmer weather coming I am determined to get myself a little more springy – adding some nice pastel colours into my wardrobe. Today I have been online shopping…

Rosie – 1 Year on

You guys might remember around this time last year we welcomed a new addition to our home Rosie the little black cat. It has been quite a year, she’s up there with the most craziest of cats in the world for sure.

From day one Bella has been…

Epson EcoTank ET-4550 review

One thing my make shift home office has been missing is a printer & scanner – I always thought how…

Getting your home ready for christmas

With the count down to Christmas well and truly on I have been thinking about decorations this year and I am not talking about the tree, I want to add a touch of christmas magic to the whole living room with some cute cosy additions over the next couple of weeks. I have never been one to do this in previous years but the girls are all really aware of what’s actually going on this year and so I am more excited for Christmas than ever before.

A forever home

I recently watched a vlog by my lovely friend Heledd from Running In Lavender, it was just her chatting away in her kitchen. The whole way through I had some serious kitchen envy, I loved how bright and big it looked. It got me thinking about my dream home and how I would like it to look when the day eventually comes that me and my girls get our forever home. My forever home is something I day dream about all the time and it always starts at the kitchen, the hub of the house the place where the children will come into…
