The Side Affects of Parenting*
Today the school holidays started, hooray! Nineteen days of full time parenting my four year old including Christmas, which should also be known as “national hyperactive child day“. In fact the whole week leading up to the big day is just crazy, I remember my mum actually losing her voice during Christmas when I was a kid due to constantly shouting at my sister and I! Yes being a parent is wonderful and rewarding, I feel blessed every single day, but there is no denying that it’s hard work! Especially at this time of year. Next month Little Miss turns 5. It feels so much bigger than 4. I have…

Christmas Ideas with Snapfish
I know a lot of people become interesting in photography when they become parents but for me, it’s always been a huge interest. When I was at uni I was always the one with the camera snapping memories for people who wouldn’t remember the night (often me). I always had a camera for every holiday, and not just my phone, a proper camera. A couple of years ago I invested in an SLR shortly before my first trip to Florida and it was the best thing I’ve ever got. I’m hoping to treat myself to my 3rd lens in the new year. Because I take a lot of photos, it’s…

A #GiftToFamily
2016, well it’s been a funny old year hasn’t it? For me it’s been both amazing and tiring. I’ve had a lot of family hardships mainly around my sister and her mental health. This is my little sister with her little boy. She’s two years, 4 months and 1 day younger than me. Growing up we did not get on, mainly because she was the baby and my mum made a lot of excuses for her. I hated being the eldest. Things changed when we hit our teenage years, she became gorgeous and I was a bit jealous and i’m fairly sure she resented me because I was the eldest.…

An Essay on Why I Don’t Like Gilmore Girls (sorry)
So this past week the internet has been a buzz with the Netflix exclusive Gilmore Girls; A Year in the Life. A four episode revival after a 9 year break. Before I start I just want to say I have watched the show and the revival, I’m not hating on a show I haven’t seen. So for that reason, here is a little back story; I didn’t watch the show in it’s hay day, I chalked it up there with things like the OC, One Tree Hill and at that time in my life I wasn’t into American teen drama because I couldn’t really relate. I was a gawky geeky…
