Bloggers and social influencers have come under fire this week, thanks to a certain Irishman. Who instead of simply saying "no thank you, it's not for us" when approached by a YouTuber, he chose to instead publicly shame her and ban all bloggers and social influencers from his establishment.

So, the last few weeks I've been speaking a lot about goals and targets for 2018 along with everything I hope to achieve, both for the blog and in my personal life. How it's time to move onto the how. Just how am I planning to do all of this? Well, here's a few of the tools I use. I'm a planner ... READ MORE »

I promise this is the last 'new years' post. As I mentioned in both my 2018 blogging goals post and my 2018 book challenge, I'm not one for resolutions. I know, I know. I seem to be doing EVERYTHING except New Years resolutions, but I was tagged by Lucy over at Real Mum Review in her 18 things in ... READ MORE »

While I may dislike resolutions, I do love a good challenge. I've spoken about my blogging goals and my personal aim to try and reduce the waste that we produce as a family.

Yesterday - the final day of the year - was all about looking back on 2017.

It's almost here....in fact there are only days to go now which means I've been thinking about the main event. Christmas dinner. And more specifically making sure we have everything we need (other than the food that is!). So, here's a little sneak preview of what our Christmas table will look like ... READ MORE »

We've all been there. You used to have a great connection with your partner but then kids come alone. And with it the late nights, early mornings and extreme exhaustion. With the ever increasing pile of dishes - and let's not even mention the washing - it's easy to get stuck in a rut of trying to ... READ MORE »

With Christmas a little more than 2 weeks away, that means one thing. Time to start wrapping. We've still got one or two things that we need to get but what we most definitely have is a spare room of things to wrap! We alway pick a theme each year  - and by 'we', I of course mean me! - and this year ...

Can you believe that it's now only just over 5 weeks until Christmas? Now that Halloween and Bonfire Night are over, we are full steam ahead for the countdown to the big day. If you hadn't already gotten the idea I LOVE Christmas and love to spend time choosing the perfect gifts for my family and ... READ MORE »

THE BLURB You never know what's happening on the other side of the wall. Your neighbour told you that she didn't want your six-month-old daughter at the dinner party. Nothing personal, she just couldn't stand her crying. Your husband said it would be fine. After all, you only live next door. ... READ MORE »
