Easter Party 2018*
Wow, can you believe Easter is over already? I know it was super early this year but it’s still a big mile stone point to pass. It’s also apparently Spring but I’m not sure where that’s at given we had snow the other day and today is thick mist and rain. Thankfully Easter Sunday was a beautiful spring like day and we managed to have our annual Easter party. Our family are notorious for throwing parties, Halloween parties, birthday parties and our Easter party, which is my personal favourite as we get to eat brunch and the sun is usually shining. It was my mum’s turn to organise it so…

5 Things to Include in an Easter Basket for Kids*
It’s 5 weeks on Friday until Good Friday, who can believe that Easter is coming around so soon? I’m not usually one for rushing the year away but I know once Easter is out the way we’ll be heading straight for our holiday to Walt Disney World.

I’m all sorted for Mother’s Day and I’ll have a post up about it in the next week or so, but Easter, I’m only just getting started…

How Much Do Home Improvements Add To a Home’s Value?*
Finally, after years in a dip the housing market is on the rise. If you’re thinking of selling in the future (or even if you’re not) the best way to add value to your house is with home improvements. Although this can be an expensive route, the Office for National Statistics has predicted that households in the UK spend about £43 million each week on home improvements, in the end your house will be worth more than what you spent, and should you decide to sell it you’ll be making a profit.

4 Ways to Get Money, Fast*
When I was a kid I never thought for a second that by nearly 30 I’d still be budgeting my money. In fact I think I budget more than ever. I like to take LM on adventures rather than buy material possessions and for that I have to live to a financial line every month. I need to earn enough to pay all my bills and put away enough to afford our adventures. Some months I do it, some months something happens and I’m frantically trying to make some more money in that last week of the month. Being self employed is hard, and it requires a lot of strength,…

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…
