2016 is well and truly over, so I'm taking some time to look back at my 2016 highlights before we're kicking 2017 off with a bang. On a global scale, 2016 was a bit of a bummer. The war in Syria is still going on, hundreds of people became victims of terror and, of course, there were Brexit and the election of Donald Trump. On a personal scale, though, 2016 has been a good year for me My 2016 ...

Vogue’s 73 Questions
I do love a good tag so when I came across Vogue's 73 Questions over on Aby's blog, You Baby Me Mummy, I just knew I had to answer them. Usually, Vogue's 73 questions go to celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker (see video below) but I thought I can play celeb in my own little corner of the internet and answer them myself. It's just a fun way to tell you a little more about me and maybe you can even ...
Live a healthier life in 5 steps
For me there's nothing quite as eye-opening as a trip to the beach when it comes to reflecting about my body, general health and lifestyle choices. I don't know about you, but I can't help comparing myself to others and I know a lot of my mummy friends do the same. We look at toned legs, firm stomachs or bums that spill out of bikini bottoms, sneak a look at the woman on the sun lounger next to us ...
How to make the most out of your loft room
A loft is great, if you don't have enough storage space and want to hide unsightly clutter, your Christmas tree and more. An even better idea however is to convert your loft into an extra bedroom, office space or a hobby room. A loft conversion is usually cheaper and less hassle than a traditional extension to your home and it can add between 10-20% of value to your property. But how do you make ...
My week – 12 July 2015
This week was a bit meh. There were no fun trips to the beach, no paddling pool fun and nothing else particularly exciting, but I thought I'd still do a quick write up of each day, so I can look back and see what we got up to during this particular week - if I ever wanted to do so that is. The pics are just random cute pics of Amy that I took this week, but as it was so uneventful, I didn't really ...
My Week – 5th July 2015
Recently, I've been really unhappy with my blog. I still love the design (thank you, Stacey Corrin!), but let's face it, my content really sucks at the moment. There's hardly anything personal anymore and I really want to change that, so when my lovely friend Tanya announced that she'd host a weekly linky called "My Week", I knew that this was just what I needed to start writing more personal post ...
