Why I’m Glad I Moved Home
Although today saw my little girl turn three, it’s actually been one of the hardest days of my life. My other grandfather will not be with us much longer, and knowing this but having to smile and put on a show for Little Miss has left me a bit of a mess now she’s in bed. I know it wasn’t just me, my mother was wonderful and put on such a brave face. I only fell apart once, reading the card from my grandparents to LM signed for the last time “Nanny & Grandpa” even just thinking about it now, breaks my heart. And although tomorrow I will be bringing…

A Day In The Life, January 2015
As I mentioned in my resolutions post I’m hoping to make my blog much more lifestyle, travel and personal style this year as these are the subjects that appeal to me most. So with that in mind I’m starting a new monthly series inspired by Becky & Leona, A Day In The Life. Every month I’ll take photos for a whole day and share it on my blog. This month I chose a Wednesday, a typical Wednesday. Morning. In the morning I get up and the first thing I do is make a large mug of ice coffee. It’s my one…

Goodbye Grandad
Those of you who follow me on Twitter or Instagram, or even read my blog regularly will know last month my Grandad passed away. It’s actually a month today and I’m only just beginning to process it all. I’m only just beginning to realise that he’s gone. To help with my grieving process I wanted to dedicate a post to him today. He was only in hospital and “ill” to us for exactly two weeks. That’s an incredibly short space of time especially in December when everyone is so busy and time seems to move much faster than usual. My dad had been worried about him for a…

Berwick Food & Beer Festival September 2014
Usually I’m someone who is very much “Oh we did this last week” or “we did this the other day” but today I’m actually sharing a post about what I did, today! This is a rarity but as I’m still under the weather I wanted to share photographs rather than a lot of text. This weekend in my hometown, it’s my favourite festival, the Food and Beer Festival. Of course, beer & ale I can leave but they also have loads of local produce and possibly my favourite drink for the summer, strawberry cider. It’s also my dad’s favourite festival, and after today, possibly Little Miss’ too! So of course…

Happy Birthday Mum
Today is my mum’s birthday, and I didn’t want the day to go by without a shoutout to her. She is the most amazing woman before and I know i’ve mentioned this many times in other such posts, but she is my inspiration to be the mother I am. She has dedicated her whole life to her family, from when she was a child and lived at home with her parents and four siblings, to when she married my dad and raised my sister and I. And now she’s a wonderful grandmother to my daughter. She also looks after children in a pre-school that she is head of. She is…

The Tale of the Little Easter Bunny
This week my nephew decided to take it upon himself to make Easter a person, much like Santa Claus. Both he and Little Miss have been telling everyone that “Easter is coming with eggs” so I decided to take it upon myself to make Easter into a person for Little Miss. I’m not religious but due to having a Catholic upbringing I do observe the holidays. Our household is very much an agnostic apathetic area and I do intend to bring my daughter up that way. Christmas is about family and Easter is.. about chocolate of course! At Christmas, Santa Claus is the bringer of goodies, at Easter it’s… you…
