2015; The Resolutions
So, I’m 12 days late to this party too but better late than never, right? Like most other people, with the turn of the year I made some resolutions. Normally I don’t really go in for the whole new year, new you stuff, but this year I was a lot more on board. 2014 was on the whole a good year (with a rubbish tail end) and I want to continue with the good stuff into this year. As Little Miss gets older I want to continue making a better and happier life for us, which means re-evaluating our situation now and then. And what better time to do…

Why My Cat is Helping My Insomnia
Last January I shared my experience with insomnia. A quick recap is that it’s something i’ve dealt with since I was thirteen and it usually raises it’s ugly head when i’m stressed or worried.. but sometimes it’s just there. I’ve always found it stressful in itself which usually gets me stuck in a loop of worried and stressed in case I can’t sleep results in being unable to sleep. It also seems to be more prominent at this time of year for reasons unknown and I do take medication for it, but sometimes it doesn’t help. And I have even tried more alternative methods to help me sleep, such as…

10 Things That Were Awesome in 2014
I know, I know, I’m six days late in posting one of these round up posts, but of course I still want to do it. On the whole, I’ll look back at 2014 and know that it was a good year. Yes there were some very low points but for the first time since 2011, the good outweighed the bad, and for that.. I’m extremely thankful. So today I’m going to share my 10 favourite memories from 2014 with you all. It’s time to stop dwelling on the rubbish end to the year I had, and start celebrating the good. These are in no particular order, but obviously if I…

In Retrospect // Christmas 2014
As I was on hiatus due to family stuff from the middle of December and then my blog has been moving from blogger to self hosted, I didn’t really get a chance to share any Christmas photos. In 2014 I am hoping to share a little more about life with Little Miss, including more photos. I’m tired of living behind blacked out windows and forcing my friends to do the same. Although, I didn’t actually take that many of LM as she’s going through the phase where she won’t pose for photos (or stay still) so I’m trying to keep the camera out of her face until Florida. Anyway, I’m…

Walt Disney World Planning… 120 Days to Go
I can’t believe 30 days have passed already since I was writing my first planning update! I can’t believe 60 days have passed since we booked our dining reservations! I’m so glad we did as I checked the other day and there is nothing during the time we’re there for the restaurants we want! I have already been warned by some WDW cast members that the 10 days we’re there, 7 of which will be insanely busy! That means I need to be on the ball 60 days before to ensure I get the fast pass reservations I want, especially for Anna & Elsa! As a WDW holiday is an…

The Five Year Plan, Well Sort Of*
I wanted to share that I have finally tried to put together a 5 year plan. I had no idea where I wanted to be in 5 years. Alive, of course but aside from that, who knows?! So I’ve broken down my aims into four categories, hopefully in 5 years time I’ll be able to come back and see how much I managed to achieve. Money This is clearly the big one. Being a single mother is hard work and is expensive. I won’t lie, every month I end up using my credit card something I always swore in the past I wouldn’t do. So in five years time I…
