Home Content // Which Rug for Which Room Shape?*
For a long time, carpets reigned supreme when it came to choosing a flooring for your home. Some people carpeted every room in their home, I remember at one point my mum had carpet in the bathroom (gross, I know) and my aunt had carpet in the kitchen! But over the last 10 years, wooden flooring has been growing in popularity, from untreated wood slats, highly polished floors and for those with more modest budgets, lino that looks like wooden flooring. It started in the kitchen but has now spread throughout the house, every single room has a wooden floor. There are any benefits to this from a easy to…

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,…

Cosplay Plans for Little Miss 2018*
This is a sponsored post. A new year means a whole 12 months of letting Little Miss explore her imaginative time by dressing up and acting out. There is no denying my kid is incredibly creative and dreams of being on the stage, and letting her fully embrace cosplay in the past couple of years has been a great start and helped give her confidence. We probably won’t be hitting Disney as often this year but with a few trips to Disneyland Paris planned, a trip to Walt Disney World paid for and a trip to Disneyland in Anaheim on the cards, there are still plenty of opportunities for her…

12 Days of Christmas – Christmas of My Childhood
I’ve been wanting to do a post about my childhood Christmases all season but I just wasn’t sure how to do it. However I saw this tag on Kate on Thin Ice and decided to turn it on it’s head by answering about past Christmases rather than how we celebrate now, which is something I have often shared on the blog. So here we have The Christmas Tag, reflecting on Christmases of the past. Just a note. I won’t be tagging anyone as this isn’t the real tag. I have changed it to fit with my post. So I hope you enjoy some photos I’ve dug out from Christmas past!…

12 Days of Christmas – Christmas Eve Box
As I mentioned in my Christmas Traditions I Love post, one of my favourite traditions is the Christmas Eve box. I started this tradition for Little Miss when she was a baby having seen other parents doing it and it being all over Pinterest. We always had to wear old pjs on Christmas eve then get new ones for Christmas which made no sense. This way LM is all clean and in new pjs for when Santa comes. It’s also a really nice way to kick off Christmas. There are also things in the box that will keep her busy on Christmas eve while mummy cleans (anyone else clean like…
