A few weeks ago I was invited to a rather exciting event at the intu shopping centre in Derby. Hotter shoes dropped me a line, and were keen to show off their autumn/winter collection so of course I said ‘count me in’. I won a pair of Hotter Shoes in a twitter competition a while…
September has bought many changes to this household, and the one that is the most exciting for me is that I finally have a home office and boy has it been a long time coming. I know many have been looking on sites similar to this Greensboro realtor website in an effort to find a…
I don’t know about you, but I’m always thinking of ways to live a more balanced lifestyle. Sometimes it’s about thinking out of the box or turning a situation on its head to make it fit your lifestyle better. We are about to embark on a new phase of our lives, and I can feel…
With watching the recent Olympics and observing successful people I’ve been intrigued by what makes some of them likeable and others are well, just grating. Truly successful people have the ability to get those around them to celebrate their success and get their audience to be inspired by their journey. There are other people who…
I’ve been doing some very important research readers. I was invited to Eden Hall Day Spa for the day to really explore the idea of self care and think about how we can improve looking after ourselves, even when we have busy home and work lives.
Just recently I was introduced to Ofgem’s Be An Energy Shopper website. Have you heard of it? I’m ashamed to say I didn’t know anything about it. It’s packed full of really useful information if you want to switch energy suppliers and get the best deal for your home. I’ve been using it, and it…
Hasn’t it been a funny old summer. The weather seems to have a complete mind of it’s own leaving us confused about what to wear and how to spend our free time. The sunny days are even more precious than normal as you don’t know when the heavens are going to open again. Despite the…
My girls love sandals, and they also love being adventurous. Sometimes, sandals and adventure don’t always go very well together, especially when you like sparkly sandals and climbing in the adventure playground. A sparkly pair of sandals can soon look like a battered pair of sandals once they have been put through the mill at…
I have been a private landlord for a good few years now, and I’ve also managed tenancies on behalf of a housing association for even longer. My years of working for a housing association gave me the confidence and knowledge to rent out my own property when the opportunity arose. People become landlords for lots…
Moving house can be such a stressful and expensive business. I’ve sold properties a few times now and one thing that I have found really frustrating is the fees that I have paid to High Street Estate Agents. My Sister and her family have also recently moved into one of the stunning Orange County Homes…
Strive footwear were a completely new brand to me just a few weeks ago. I was looking on Instagram and the lovely Kara from Chelsea Mamma was showing off her new pair of shoes. I do like shoes, especially if they are pretty and look comfortable too. My days of crippling heels and squashed toes…
Blogging is hard work. It’s not an easy ride by any stretch of the imagination. If you are a blogger reading this, you will totally understand what I mean. We are growing our own online small business and a lot of hours go into all that it entails. Apps like Crowdfire are essential to help…
Who would like to do a quick quiz? It’s super fun I promise, and will really make you chuckle. I had a go at it recently, and some of the answers really surprised me. If you have young children, I think you will really be able to relate to it too.
Whether you are going on a romantic holiday or not, there should alway be time for romance while you are away. Going on holiday is such a special time for any couple. Whether, like me you have children, or you haven’t reached that stage yet, it’s a time when you should be able to focus…
Celuu very kindly offered me an outfit to wear to the blog conference I attended recently in Manchester. If you saw this post, then you’ll already know what they sent me. I’m really keen to find a fashion brand that makes great clothes for real women, so I was super excited to be working with…
When our car went into the garage for it’s MOT and service, it managed to get through pretty much OK. When my husband picked the car up, his chat with the mechanic revealed that there are likely to be a few things come up next time round that are going to be quite costly. We…
