Introducing Elsa Arya
Today our family of two grew by one. My sister took Little Miss and I to pick up our absolutely beautiful kitten, Elsa Arya. We have looked at photos of her since July 28th but I honestly still can’t believe she’s finally home with us. I have wanted a cat since I was probably LM’s age and she is 100% worth waiting for, we’re both besotted. She’s a blue point ragdoll and her mummy is actually owned by blogger Kate of Pretty Little Us anyone who follows her on Instagram will be familiar with Luna. I have loved Luna since I first started following Kate and she has always…

Things I Hate About Being a “Grown Up”*
Technically, I have been officially and adult for almost 9 years, however I don’t include the time I was at university, or the time I lived with my two of my best friends before falling pregnant. As during those years I was completely reckless and made very childish decisions. Ahh, those were good years. Anyway, I’ve mentioned a few times in regards to my lack of blogging that I’ve been feeling “blue” since returning from America. And I have realised a lot of the things that make me miserable are the day to day things that all adults have to deal with. It’s just a fact of life but it…

Happy 2nd Birthday Cocktails in Teacups!
So tomorrow is technically my blog’s 2nd Birthday, however I know two years ago today I made my blog, I just didn’t publish my first post until the 18th. But since I’m in the throws of decorating (not to mention I have to bake my cake for #cakethat tomorrow night) I thought i’d do a little post about i today. Lately I have become a little uninspired by my blog, I’m not sure if it’s because I’m tired or because I’ve been busy doing other things. I sit down at my laptop and I don’t want to spend hours pouring my heart and soul into a post that few will…

Berwick Food & Beer Festival September 2014
Usually I’m someone who is very much “Oh we did this last week” or “we did this the other day” but today I’m actually sharing a post about what I did, today! This is a rarity but as I’m still under the weather I wanted to share photographs rather than a lot of text. This weekend in my hometown, it’s my favourite festival, the Food and Beer Festival. Of course, beer & ale I can leave but they also have loads of local produce and possibly my favourite drink for the summer, strawberry cider. It’s also my dad’s favourite festival, and after today, possibly Little Miss’ too! So of course…

#FriendshipGrows, A Celebration of Friendship with Chisholm Hunter
Last week I was sent this wonderful box of goodies by Chisholm Hunter as part of their #FriendshipsGrows campaign. This campaign celebrates friendships that have blossomed through blogging and the stories that go along with them. I’m very grateful I have been lucky enough to make a lot of fantastic friends through blogging who have helped me through the darkest of times. But as ever, I wanted to put my spin on this.. I wanted to talk about how blogging has helped me keep up to date with my most important friend, Bee of Journeys are my Diary. The hardest part of deciding to move back home was knowing that…

The Perfectly Honest Single Parent Post
Hi my name is Amy and I’m a single mother. I have a two year old daughter from a previous (domestic abusive) relationship and she has nothing to do with her father. I am not just a single mother, I’m a sole parent. I make all the decisions in regards to how my child is raised and I also am the only person who sets rules and boundaries. My daughter attends nursery five hours a week. Aside from that, she is with me. In the blogging world it appears to be frowned upon to admit your child is anything less than perfect. Like with everything in life as far as…
