Lifestyle Content // An Exciting Way to Spend a Night In*
Life is very different when you have young kids at home compared with those carefree days of being young, free and single with no responsibilities. One really noticeable change is how many evenings you stay in at home and how relatively few evenings you’re able to meet up with your mates. Credit Not that we would want it any other way. Children are generally the centre of most parents’ universes and they’re happy to be at home as a family most evenings. However, once you’ve got your little one tucked up in bed, you don’t always want to spend the rest of the night watching Eastenders or similar. After all,…

A Day in the Life, February 2015
Last month I started a new series on the blog (because I seem to fair better doing one that I only need to think about once a month) and this of course is my “A Day in the Life” series. For January I chose to do a regular day, but this month I chose to document a very special day.. going away to the cinema for Little Miss’ birthday. Her birthday was actually last month but due to one thing and another we didn’t get until last Tuesday. The photos are rubbish quality because I decided to give my dad’s point a shoot a test run and I just can’t…

Pandora Arm Candy with Joshua James
ALL LINKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE. Pandora Silver Heart Clasp Bracelet* £55 // Pandora Silver Crown Dangle Charm* £30 both Joshua James Growing up, I always wanted a charm bracelet because no one had one but back then you could never find a style that had pretty charms to collect. Then Pandora came along and I was so reluctant to join the craze, because lets face it, I do like to stand out and go against the grain. But for my 22nd birthday my sister bought me a bracelet and my grandparents bought my first charm, and from then on.. my heart belonged to Pandora.…

Why I’m Not Seeing 50 Shades of Grey This Valentines Day (or ever)
Here is a small warning that this post may contain some triggers as I discuss domestic abuse. It has taken me a few days of serious thought as to whether or not I wanted to post about this as I have only lightly touched on this subject in the past. But this week I have seen people I love and respect talking about how much they would “love a man like Christian Grey” I just need to get my story out. It’s been almost three years since I read the books so please forgive me if I don’t get al the facts 100%. This isn’t a post about how badly…

In Retrospect – Three
Little Miss turned three two weeks ago. I can’t believe two weeks has passed already, but they have been a mentally exhausting two weeks, which is why I’m only up to posting this now. Despite everything that happened, Little Miss had a perfect birthday, a birthday fit for the princess she is. There was cake, laughter and love, everything a little three year old needed. Rather than being an incredibly wordy post which is what I normally go for in celebration of my daughter being another year older, I’m going to share photos from our two days of celebrating. This year no letter, no round up of how she’s grown…

The Little Things… Saying Thank You*
Every year in February I sit down to write thank you cards from LM. As her birthday is in January I always wait until after that has passed before sending out the cards as it seems pointless to do one for each when I can simply send a combined one once both are over. This year of course was no different and in fact this year in a way it was more important to say thank you because despite the dark cloud hovering over our family, everyone made such a fantastic effort on Little Miss’ behalf. I needed to let everyone involved know how amazed I am at the way…
