I don’t know about you, but sometimes you just need to have a break from the routine of everyday life. Normally I would choose a city break - even a one-night stay in the city can be a welcomed time-out (although it still always ends up pretty busy)! But, over the weekend I went against my instincts and decided I…
I am one of those people who either binge watches a whole series in one go or takes three years to watch something (hello Making A Murderer – still on series 1). Call me an all or nothing girl, I just need to be hooked by episode 1. That’s what happened with ‘Dead To Me’, within 15 minutes of watching…
Me: “I’m going to see Westlife....” Friend: “Really? Are they still around.....?” The answer my friend is yes. They are well and truly still around. They took a little break, said their farewells to their fans to take some time out of the spotlight and focus on their families, in the summer of 2012. I know this because I was…
I’m a believer that girl trips are good for the soul....time for yourself....time to relax and unwind and time to take stock and reflect about how you are as a parent. You might not agree but I find I come back recharged and ready to smash parenting in the face again. We’ve done a girls trip for the last 2…
*Gifted - see disclaimer at the end of the post When going out to eat, I'm always looking for places that aren't part of a big chain. I often get fed up of having a cheeky Nando's or delving through the salad bar at The Harvester. I like going to the places that don't get tagged in people's Facebook statuses…
Being a mum can become quite monotonous; I often find myself getting stuck in my day-to-day routine as does Liam (although he quite likes a bit of routine). Although I can't change much during I week, I look forward to the weekends to explore this new city we now call home. I've been living in Bristol for 6 months and…
Camp NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. This is a challenge that happens twice a year, in which you can choose a goal and spend the whole month trying to write a book. July's is a more lenient version of November's NaNoWriMo which has a set limit and working pace. I saw through watching YouTube videos that this was…
I fell in love with Paris before I had ever been, but after my visits my love has turned into an obsession. I love everything about it, it feels whimsical and magical and the streets are filled with history and style. The food is the best in the world, my diet basically consists of cheese and bread with hot chocolate,…
Do you find yourself in a state of serious FOMO at missing out on the biggest festival in the world this weekend? If so, I have some suggestions of what to watch to see you through. Hole yourself up in your bedroom or on the sofa, leave your phone logged out of socials and get stuck in to these bingeworthy…
Flowers are having a bit of a moment with botanical arrangements adorning shop fronts and interiors, and flower fields becoming a popular attraction across the UK. Worcester’s Confetti Flower Fields are but one of a few flower fields available to the public in England – but you’ll have to be quick, they’re only open for two weeks during Summer! [This original post was…
