Could A Weekend In London Make A Great Romantic Break?*
Whether you’re in a new relationship or have been with your partner for years, now and then it’s nice to get away for a short break. While it can be nice to take the kids away with you, you don’t always need your little ones in tow. Sometimes, it’s nice to spend some one-on-one time with your partner, at least, I think so anyway. If you’re thinking of planning a short getaway with your partner, London could just be the perfect place. It’s packed full of lots to see and do, there are lots of lovely places to enjoy a meal, and there’s always lots of deals online for short…

My Worries as a Mother for my Daughter’s Future*
I’m a natural born worrier, it’s no wonder I suffer from anxiety and insomnia because I literally worry about every single thing. I’m also a pessimist and I’m always focusing on the worst case scenario. This has definitely gradually got worse since I became a mother. Every year as Little Miss gets older I have a new set of worries to consider and being on my own makes it feel like I have the whole weight of the world on my shoulders because I have no one to reassure me my worries are unfounded when I’m lying awake in the middle of the night. I do understand that every parent…

Two Years On
I had another kind of post planned for tonight but as I’m feeling sort of melancholy and I’m waiting on LM to fall asleep before I sneak up for a bath, I wanted to write about something that has been in the forefront of my mind for the past couple of weeks. Not dominating or anything, but there, that little niggle. Two years ago last week I text my best friend to come and get me. Two years since I walked away from a domestically abusive relationship. It’s still hard to say, sometimes I barely even believe it was me it happened to. You hear all those stories but you…

The Fairytales Tag
As this post goes live, I’ll just be taking off on my way with Little Miss and my mum to Disneyland Paris! I’ve purposely scheduled this at 13:00 which is the time of our flight. How exciting! This week I will have guest posts and a few tags and such I have written in advance so the blog isn’t standing unloved. Please comment and like as normal, and of course check out the guest posts! Anyway, I’ve been saving up tags to schedule while I’m out and about as they’re something that can easily be done in advance. I have this Fairytale Tag which I think first did it’s rounds…

Dating & The Devil – A #3dates3mths Update
I had a different kind of post to go up this evening but after the events of this week that some of you know about, I felt like for a cathartic experience after a week of bad luck, I needed to address this. I’m going to write about how my last relationship still influences my thoughts and feelings about future relationships. I’m hoping by writing about it, it will put a stop to my bad luck and help me look more positively about the rest of the year. I’m so terrified of the terrible events of 2013, spilling over into 2014. Until this week the year was going so well,…

It’s Time To Talk
I had resolved that I wasn’t going to blog tonight, but after taking part in the #timetotalkchat on Twitter, I decided I wanted to have my little say in regards to mental health. Today is Time to Talk day, a day to encourage people to beat the stigma that goes along with mental health. I have read many brave posts and tweets from my fellow bloggers who have felt ashamed, scared, worried and embarrassed by their problems and for me, someone who is currently suffering with mental health problems, I’ve never felt less alone in my struggle. I’ve never understood the reason why there is such a stigma with MH,…
