Looking Back on February 2017
February has been a strange month, looking back now I don’t really even remember most of it, that’s how little happened during it. Little Miss started Drama classes the first weekend of the month. Then there was obviously Valentines Day which I didn’t really celebrate and Little Miss had half term, which is all I can really remember of the month. During half term we had a few afternoons out, we went away to Newcastle for the day and we went to see the Lego Batman Movie. I’ve been really under the weather with something I just can’t put my finger on and this caused some serious anxiety issues. I…

Gift Giving on Galentines Day 2017
Can you believe it’s been over a week since Valentines Day? I always dread the run up to it as I’m still on my own but then it passes and I think to myself “well that was a lot of fuss over nothing!” I guess what softens the blow these days is the fact I have Galentines Day to celebrate. It was actually my best friend Bee who started it last year by taking us to lunch and presenting us with gifts. I was caught off guard but I was making sure that wasn’t happening this year. The reason why this post is so late as I was late sending…

Days Out in England – Bones Exhibition at The Great North Museum
Yesterday we continued our trend of having a day away during the school holidays. During Christmas we ventured up to Edinburgh to enjoy the Christmas Market, so this time we headed south and went to Newcastle. Since our #littlediscoveries adventure last year we discovered some great new places including The Great North Museum that Little Miss really enjoyed and when I heard they had a new exhibition on I decided we should go during half term. I asked my mum if she wanted to come with my nephew as he’s really into bones and even wanted to be an archaeologist at one point! So we booked trains and exchanged some…

Things You Should Be Watching on Netflix
I’ve had a bit of a love hate relationship with Netflix over the years and because of this, when I get low on funds my account is the first to go. However with it currently being in the middle of winter and I’m spending each evening on my own, I’ve been watching it a lot more than usual, and not only that, I’ve watched some really great things lately that I feel the need to share with you all. It’s not just current things, just in case you’re all up to date, but things i’ve watched over the last 6 months and if you follow me on Twitter you’ve probably…

Goals for 2017 – Learn to Use My Camera*
At the start of the year I wasn’t in the best head space to be making new years resolutions, not that I make any real ones anyway, I just usually set myself some goals to help improve my life. Now a month in I feel like I’m in a better place to real look at what I want to achieve in 2017. I strongly dislike January, and after my break up at the end of December I found it harder than ever but I survived, I made some good memories and I’m ready to move on. Now at the start of February it’s time to real dig my heals in,…

Looking Back on January 2017
Towards the end of last year I got lax on my “Looking Back On…”, which sucked because I really enjoyed doing them and it was a nice way to reflect on my best of blog, keeping all my favourite posts from the month together along with a summary of what we got up to. So for 2017 I’m going to do my best to resurrect them. January has, as ever, been a truly long and gruelling month. Anxiety has been high, self esteem has been low and the weather has been pretty rubbish. This January was particularly bad as I was (still am) nursing a truly broken heart and it’s…
