Getting your children into books begins when they are small. Reading after a bath, while having snacks and a cuddle or before bed - these little routines create memories and life long readers. Our son is now becoming a more confident reader, he hasn't always found it easy so we are thrilled. Now we are finding that he is wanting to feel more grown up with chapter books, I find this adorable. We will keep adding books to this one as the list is long!

Our son is 6 now, and we always find that having a few activities with us can keep him entertained when we are traveling. Holidays, car journeys, train journeys, or even waiting around at adult appointments—this bag of tricks can help. Here is a little rundown of the ones that have worked for us so far. I will keep adding to this as our list evolves, but for now, I hope this helps take some of the stress out of your journeys.

Sharing with you our beautiful wedding. It couldn't have been more perfect. We decided to make it a family and close friends holiday with the wedding in the middle of the week. We were skeptical booking the Vila online but OMG, it was everything it advertised and more the scenery was just stunning everywhere you looked!

A cuppa tea and a little sneaky pick me up treat is essential to my happy mood. I think it's medical. Here are some of my monthly choices. You're welcome 😊 and enjoy. Yummy 😋

We tend to shop at Waitrose or sainsburys more often than not and we have found some quality products I'd like to recommend. Take a look, buy and try...perhaps you might find that your life is now complete! 😆 🤣

We adore food in our family and when you're looking for good food I visit these places in Staffordshire, 🇬🇧 UK. We have gone to places for special occasions, like our wedding anniversary, as well as everyday budget friendly places as well for a little treat now and again.

I have terribly dry hair since having my son. I don't know why. It's always been long and blonde and I don't normally colour it but whatever I do, static and frizz! Maybe hormones or something! I have found some products that help though and here they are!

It is amazing how a single spritz of liquid can completely change how you carry yourself. Perfume is so much more than just smelling good—it is an invisible accessory that has a direct line to your brain's emotional center. So here are my favs and why I choose them over others.

My go 2 products for daily wear makeup. Look and feel good - because why not! Skincare is important and as I'm getting into the next age bracket it's even more of a step I can't afford to skip. I always feel more confident with makeup on so here is what I would choose everyday of the week!

Our new build blank canvas garden...loving this project! See what slabs, tools and big purchases we went for in our effort to secure our forever garden. Project ongoing!
