Goodbye Three
Today is Little Miss’ last day as a three year old. Tomorrow it’s her 4th birthday. To me, four seems so much older than three. Last year when she went from two to three it didn’t feel like as a big a step. Three still feels like a baby age, or at least a toddler age. But lets face it, four is a big step. At four she’s going to start big school, and wear a uniform and be away from me 6 hours a day for 5 days a week. And I’m dreading it. I’m not ready for that baby stage to be over with in case I never…

Ways You Can Help in Times of Flooding*
We may not have had any snow, and it’s only been super cold one week so far this winter but rain and storms, I think we’ve had a years worth over the last couple of months. I live in a coastal town at the mouth of a river and with each heavy rain fall there is that fear that the river banks just aren’t going to take it anymore. Although I live on a hill, my parents live right at the river mouth so I’m guessing they’ll be hit first, and hard. It’s really tragic that we’re now living in a country where flooding is becoming a major concern. Thankfully…

Hijack My Flatpack!*
So, 2016, the year where I take back my house and make it more into a home. As I’ve mentioned in a few posts this month I’m going to be making a concious effort on really making my house into somewhere I want to be. My itchy feet mean I spend way too much of my time thinking about far off places rather than just what lies inside my front door. So I’m taking back my four walls and turning it into a real home with my stamp on it. One of my biggest issues with my living situation is the fact I’m on a tight budget even when I’m…

Home Resolutions for 2016*
Last year I spent so little time doing anything to my home that I actually felt quite sad. I was so focused on adventures further afield I really neglected our house. I’ve already shared a post about how I hope to improve my home this year, but it really isn’t just that I want to look at. Last year chores became something I saw as an after thought, I bought in things to do some DIY and it ended up in a cupboard under the stairs. The long and short of it is I made some bad choices when it came to my home and as an almost 28 year…

2016 Healthy Life Changes*
One of my goals for 2016 was to maintain a healthy lifestyle to lose weight and become happier with my body image. Because I’m short with a small frame I don’t carry weight well. I have an odd shaped body where I don’t really go curvy more like cube shaped so I know I look better slim and because I know I look better, I feel better. Also, in March I’m spending 4 weeks in Florida which means a lot of eating out and I will no doubt put on weight despite doing a lot of walking. So I’ve been calorie counting 2 weeks past Monday and already I’ve lost…

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…
