As much as we’d like to tell you that grabbing a chainsaw and whacking it at a tree trunk is a good way to bring down a tree, it’s not actually as simple as it looks. You don’t just waive a chainsaw around your head, which should never be done anyway because that’s not a good idea. But it requires precision, knowledge, and the correct approach so that you can avoid any potential damage to your home, your surrounding areas, or injuries to yourself. Trees are wonderful assets in a landscape, but they can become hazardous, diseased, or they can…

World Book Day is just around the corner, and we absolutely love getting creative with our costumes! As a family of bookworms, we enjoy diving into our favourite stories and bringing beloved characters to life. This year, after going through all our favourite books, Nila decided she wanted to recreate the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. This choice was extra special for me as Alice in Wonderland has been one of my favourite books since childhood. So, we were both so excited to bring this costume idea to life. Thanks to Baker Ross, we had everything we needed…

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about celebrating relationships or even friendships—it’s also the perfect opportunity to shower yourself with love and set intentions for your personal growth. This year, I have made it my priority to take more time out for myself, why not take some time this Galentines to reflect on your dreams, goals, and self-care practices by creating a self-love vision board What is a Self-Love Vision Board? A vision board is a powerful manifestation tool that helps you visualise and attract your desires through imagery and affirmations. A self-love vision board focuses on personal growth, confidence, self-care, and…

One of the things I said I wanted to do this year was learn how to crochet. I set myself a challenge last year to read a book a month and ended up reading 38 books—smashing my goal and in the process, I rediscovered my love for reading,so I wanted to set myself another little challenge this year. I use the word ‘little’ lightly because, as of yesterday, I officially joined a crochet club, and I can already tell that this is going to be a real challenge! I found a local crochet evening that meets every fortnight on a…

The new year is in full swing, and in our house, that means four upcoming birthdays—including a very special milestone! I absolutely love birthdays, celebrations, and bringing people together. However, juggling party planning with running a business, managing school runs, and keeping the household running smoothly can feel overwhelming and sometimes the calendar gets so full I end up lasy minute panicing, which is never fun!. A little extra help is always welcome, don’t you think?. Over the years, we’ve tried all kinds of birthday celebrations—hosting parties at home, BBQ gatherings, soft play adventures, and even theme park birthday parties.…

As 2025 begins, I’m approaching a significant milestone—turning 39 later this year. With my 30s nearing their end, I’ve decided to leave behind the pressure of traditional New Year’s resolutions and instead focus on something much more meaningful: rediscovering myself. Rather than chasing perfection or unattainable goals, I’m dedicating this year to truly living life on my own terms and embracing the person I’ve become. After years of pouring my energy into being a mum,I am finally carving out space to reconnect with who I am outside of that role. Don’t get me wrong, being a mum to my three…

I have just finished watching the Christmas Eastenders and I am absolutely shattered, but we have had such a lovely day and I hope you have too.!Enjoy the rest of the Xmas holidays and make sure you take some time out for yourself!

Let’s be honest—sometimes it feels like you’re the one always reaching out, planning coffee dates or suggesting plans. And when it’s not reciprocated, it can sting. Other times, your friends simply aren’t free to hang out, or you might not have a big circle urging you to go out. But here’s the truth: that’s okay. You don’t have to wait for anyone to enjoy life. Stop exhausting yourself trying to make plans with people who don’t match your energy. You are enough to be your own best friend and create moments of joy that are all about you. Letting Go…
