Home Content // Hotpoint Ultima Fridge Freezer*
One of the signs that you’re reaching adulthood is when you actually get excited about new home appliances. It was funny how full my Twitter feed was of people excited about kettles, toasters, vacuums, washing machines in the days after Christmas. I guess we’re all growing up. All my life i’ve always had second hand appliances. I come from a huge family so there is always someone with a bit more money looking to upgrade while I get their old one. And hey, free or cheap is good expecially in your early twenties. But at some point you have to think of investing in something new (usually about the time…

Things to Do With Kids – Building a Fort*
As I’m focusing on parenting on this blog, I thought I’d share some of the things Little Miss and I enjoy doing together. As it’s just the two of us, we have a very strange relationship especially since I’m incapable of always being the grown up. Due the fact I do have some bad days with anxiety where I don’t want to leave the house, we have to find ways to keep entertained, and one of these is building a fort in the sitting room. It started last summer when my parents were away on holiday. I was really struggling to cope being alone (I see my mum nearly every…

Best Places for Shopping Second Hand*
One of my big thing for 2016 is to focus on where my money is going and what I’m spending it on, I outlined this in my 2016 Resolutions and Goals. One of the things I want to do more to bring my spending down is buy second hand. Clothes, books and even toys for Little Miss. Not only am I giving unwanted things a new home, but they’re usually a lot cheaper than buying new. The one I am really going to focus on is clothes. There are so many places that you can pick up fab second hand pieces. I am always tempted by pretty new in stores…

The Perfect January Blues Break in London*
Today the weather is continuing to be absolutely miserable so as you can imaging the January Blues have well and truly set in. Did you know that the January Blues are actually a thing? I could go into the statistics but while researching them I found that they were pretty morbid so lets leave that out. For me, the best thing is a new trip on the horizon. I mean obviously the actual going on the trip is the best part, but I really do love the planning side too. Of course, not everyone can afford to book a trip abroad right off the back of the expense of Christmas…

Home Content // Personalising Your Home for Your Own Unique Life*
I often find people make their home fit for someone else, rather than themselves. Shouldn’t your home reflect who you are and what you adore? Obviously it ought to! If you’re not certain how to communicate your life through your stylistic theme, here are a few of my thoughts that may give you the certainty you are looking for. Your Colour Hues and Combinations Try not to be too conservative — declare your most loved colours with a bit of dynamism and combine them beautifully – here are some great ideas from housetohome. Your bedrooms and bathrooms are perhaps the best places to get striking with your colour choices. Disregard…

A New Year, A New Start*
With the end of the year approaching it’s natural to start thinking about what 2016 is going to bring. I know a lot of people nowadays feel quite disillusioned about this, with the way the country is at the moment it does feel very like “same stuff, different year” but I’m always hopeful when I new year starts and I do start out wanting to better myself and be happier than the year before. Of course I will be doing a post all about my resolutions, both life and blogging on New Years day which is my tradition, but today I’m going to share some crazy ideas for how you…
