I think as you get older, and especially when you have a family of your own, you have to put a bit more thought into Christmas and start the planning well in advance. Now we aren’t these people that start buying stuff for Christmas in January – far from it! …
For a while now, I’ve been very aware that my lifestyle has been less-than-ideal. I work from home – which on it’s own is a massive benefit for me. However, it has some pretty huge implications on lifestyle, namely, I sit on my arse all day, some days I wouldn’t …
When I got pregnant, I think a small part of me assumed that I end up with this amazing circle of friends. We’d all be mums and take our kids to do stuff together, but we’d also do stuff without them. I don’t have a huge group of friends, and …
