How Much Should I Feed My Cat?*
If you’ve been following along with my blog and social media for a few years, you’ll know one of my pride and joys is my beautiful fur baby, Elsa Arya. I adopted Elsa in November 2014 after wanting a pet cat for as long as I could remember. It was love at first sight and I can’t even put into words just how much I love her. She’s in a way, an emotional support pet without the title as she helps with my insomnia and anxiety by simply being there. She’s a Blue Point Ragdoll with the sweetest temperament. Both LM and I adore her. As this is my first…

Treat Yourself This Valentines Day*
LINKS ALL REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE Valentine’s Day, the loathed day of singletons everywhere. Despite dating in 2016, this is still my 6th Valentines day in a row that I’m spending alone. And you know what? I’m not even that bothered. Yeah, I’ll feel a little pang of loneliness once LM has gone to bed, but on the whole, it’s just another day. My last V Day as a couple was one of the worst days in 2012, and something I never want to repeat, as the saying goes rather single and happy than in a relationship and miserable (or something like that). I have bought my…

Theming a Child’s Bedroom for Amateurs*
Little Miss’ bedroom has been a working progress for almost a year now, and I am so ashamed of this. Our house kind of takes a back seat to having adventures because realistically on one income I can only afford one or the other (and this is one of the reasons I don’t drive or have a car). As long as the house is clean, I’m happy. We have paint peeling, worn carpets and I desperately need a new mattress. But having a life time of adventures is way more important to us that material possessions. But LM’s room, I feel like that should be finished and that’s one of…

Finding the Magic of a Moment*
Does anyone else find that a holiday goes by way faster than the time you spend leading up to the holiday? I have an app on my phone where I put all holidays or adventure dates into so when LM asks how long to go I can show her the numbers going down. But they go down so slow compared to the 3, 10, 14 or even 28 days a trip lasts (we did 28 days in Florida March 2016 and it still went by so much faster than the 28 days prior to us leaving). Then you come home and feel sad that the trip is over. Those holiday…

12 Days of Christmas – Christmas of My Childhood
I’ve been wanting to do a post about my childhood Christmases all season but I just wasn’t sure how to do it. However I saw this tag on Kate on Thin Ice and decided to turn it on it’s head by answering about past Christmases rather than how we celebrate now, which is something I have often shared on the blog. So here we have The Christmas Tag, reflecting on Christmases of the past. Just a note. I won’t be tagging anyone as this isn’t the real tag. I have changed it to fit with my post. So I hope you enjoy some photos I’ve dug out from Christmas past!…

12 Days of Christmas – My 5 Favourite Christmas Movies
One of my favourite things to do at Christmas is to watch festive movies. I don’t keep them out all year around so it means LM pretty much binge watches them all between the end of November and the start of January to get her fill before the go up into the loft for the rest of the year. I also try and pick up some new ones every year so I am slowly building up a collection. In the past LM was more into the Christmas specials of Disney Jr shows such as Mickey Mouse Club House, Handy Manny and Sofia, however this year she’s really enjoyed watching some…
