15 Free or Very Cheap Christmas Activities

November 16, 2022

This Christmas, more than ever, we are all feeling the pinch of how much it costs to live! I asked the girls if this year they wanted to do the activity advent that we have previously done. Both looked at me and said "is it okay if we have chocolate ones, with little doors?" I was like sure!! Haha. It doesn't mean we won't do lots of lovely Christmas activities it just means I don't have to organise everything in one[...]

Flower Garden Focaccia Recipe

May 4, 2022

For someone who likes bread, I don't actually make it very often. My husband loves to make bread so quite often I let him make it for me instead haha!

Books I have listened to recently.

April 27, 2022

It's been a while since I shared the books I've listened to. So I thought I would share them below and give a quick round-up of what I thought. It's taken me a long time to come to terms with the fact that I am just not a reader. Sitting down and reading a book just doesn't appeal to my brain at all. But stick me outside on a walk and give me some headphones and I am well away. I can comfortably admit I have listened[...]

5 things you can do right now to get a little fitter

March 8, 2022

Walk Here I go again banging on about how much I love walking and how good it is for us, but it's so true. Throughout November and December when I was really busy with work I ran maybe three times in total those months. But I kept up with walking as much as I could. Most days I hit 10k steps still and throughout that time I still lost weight and gained fitness. It's so simple but so good for you. Stick on some music[...]

How we plan to buy a house.

February 21, 2022

And no Kirsty, it's not giving up avocados (I'm not really a fan of them) or stopping our Netflix account! I guess before I go fully into how we intend to buy a house I should give a little back story. We moved into our first rental aged 20 and 22. We made a grand total of £1,500 - £1,700 on a good month and we had 0 savings, we just scraped by. We then started saving any extra we had for our wedding, while wedding[...]
