Our cheap conservatory makeover
We’re going a bit off-topic today as I’d like to share our cheap conservatory makeover! I wasn't going to post this because the conservatory is actually the one room of the house I don't like but, as it's where I take many of my photos on
A month without plastic: How did I get on?
I’ve been setting myself mini challenges for each month of 2019. They’re a bit like New Year’s Resolutions but just for one month. In January, I challenged myself to not watch any TV for a whole month. That one was an epic fail but I learned
My blogger office: It’s more than just an office
It’s been more than a year now since Sam finished my blogging office, a small cabin in the garden just for me and my work. When you live in a fairly small house with two children it can be difficult to find any space just for you.
Our house renovations: An attic conversion bedroom
Today's post is an update on our house renovations and a look at our attic conversion. It was a lot of work but it was worth it! I started documenting the renovation of our home a few years ago and planned to do a new room update
An introduction to Joseph
It’s been 7 weeks now and I still haven’t got round to properly introducing you to my baby boy. Introducing someone to your baby for the first time is a weird thing because you really want to jump up and down and clap your hands like a
How to make your home feel like a luxury hotel

Decorating a travel themed child’s bedroom

Decorating a travel themed kitchen
I am so excited to say that we’re finally in our new home. After nine long months of very hard work, we’ve renovated our house and moved in. You can see my last posts to see what kind of a state it was really in: We've bought a
The house renovation project: Eight months on…
It’s been forever since I’ve written any kind of personal update and I’ve had a few lovely emails asking how I’m getting on with the epic renovation project. It was the end of last year when I told you about my house. Yes, we bought a house!
Simple paella recipe: Bringing home a taste of Spain
One of the best things about travelling is trying new food. I know I’m not alone in this foodie obsession because there are so many food and travel blogs popping up all over the internet. We are a nation of food fanatics and any blog that
Am I a grown-up now? A sneaky peak at my new house
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you’re all enjoying a fabulous Christmas break and you’re all sporting pudgy Christmas bellies filled with mince pies and far too many turkey sandwiches. Today’s post is a little update and some very scary news… I think I might be an adult. I know I’m
How to make a cheap Instagram wall collage
I rarely buy souvenirs when I travel, I just take millions of photos and display them around my house. I’d rather have a photo I took of the Eiffel Tower rather than a tacky little model that will collect dust on my mantelpiece. So I’m always looking
