My goals for 2016

I know some people scoff at new years resolutions, but I think they’re really useful. I love how January is a time of reflection and thinking about how we can do things in the future to make ourselves even better. Before starting to write this post, I thought a good…

Things I’m loving lately

I haven’t done this in a few months and I’m actually very late with this one but thought I’d post it anyway. Beauty  I have to be honest and admit that when I go to bed I’m often so tired that I really can’t be bothered to do my whole…

London Marathon training begins!

As you might be aware, in April I will be running the London Marathon – eeekkk! It’s my first marathon ever, so I’m feeling slightly (ok, very) nervous. Me being me, I need to follow a strict training programme so that I know in my mind that I will be…

Capturing our moments – December

A little bit later than usual with this, but we’ve only just returned from a lovely week in Orlando, so catching up with work, washing and removing the Christmas decs and getting over jet lag has meant I’ve been a bit short of time! As it is for most people,…

Why I love to blog

Recently I’ve not been able to blog as often as I’d like. This is mainly due to changing jobs. I’ve been really busy getting settled in at my new job and coupled with keeping on top of the housework and spending time with the children and hubby, I just haven’t…

My captured moment

It’s been a while since I’ve linked up to the My Captured Moment linky, which is hosted by the lovely Heledd from Running in Lavender. It’s a lovely linky and I’d like to try and do it more often as it’s a lovely way to appreciate special little moments. This…

Capturing our moments – November

You may have noticed that I’ve changed the name of this monthly roundup very slightly to ‘Capturing our moments’ instead of ‘Capturing the special moments’. I know it’s a very slight change and that’s because I want these posts to capture all the moments from our month. There may not…
