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[...]
Easy biscuit decorating, Valentine's Day style. It's not a seasonal event without my trusty digestives and icing. This time I decided cookie cards would be a great idea. Because who doesn't love a pun and a decorated biscuit! I used this clever wooden stamp set AD AFF. And you bet you're going to see it more often! A great one for kids to get involved with too! Which ones are your favourite? I love the little[...]
Move over charcuterie boards, Graze boxes are the thing! 😍😂 I'm joking I'm joking I still absolutely love a charcuterie board and I got something special planned for next week. But today is all about Valentine's Graze Box. Filled with white and red sweet treats perfect for Love Day! ❤️ Another one perfect for a night on the sofa with a box set. Or why not box some up for Galentines![...]

The brownie is so simple to make, with only a few store cupboard ingredients and it just tastes so good! And then when you combine that with all of the topping and the melted chocolate, oooh it's good. We sat and ate some Monday evening and it was just really lovely to sit together and enjoy dessert, it[...]
Do you ever have random ideas that pop into your head and then you can't get rid of the idea? That's what this was. I thought about it and then kept thinking about it until today when I actually made them. Well, I say made them, it's literally popping some icing on some chocolate but the girls thought that this was a brillant idea. A game you can play and then when you are done you can eat! What's better than[...]
This time last year I literally sent a message to my friend that said " You are mad for running in freezing cold January weather, I'm never going to be a runner". And look where we are a year later! I just completed 7k on Friday, the longest distance I've run in my life, ever. I didn't realise that when I started C25K it would actually stick with me and that I would keep up with running by here we are. I'm now averag[...]
