December Goals

December is just two days away and then I can finally rejoice in the Christmas spirit, let's get the tree up, Christmas songs on and wear Christmas jumpers all month long, let's go!!

House-Sitting | Pros & Cons

If you read my 25th diary entry, you'll know that I've just spent the last week house/pet-sitting for my sister in law. Honestly, I really enjoyed it and it was a lovely way to break up my normal routine! But, as with anything, there are some pros and cons to it...

Diary Entry #26 | Deck the Halls

 I am actually feeling really festive this year?! Over the last five years, since my Dad passed away. I've really struggled to feel excited for Christmas. However, something has flipped the Christmas lights on inside me and I'm genuinely excited for the festive season.

Diary Entry #25 | A Tough Week

Well. I have had a terrible week. Tuesday, I was fired from the nursery, with just a month of my contract left to go. I was absolutely devastated and embarrassed. I've never been fired before and had no idea it was coming so it hit me really hard. I went home, cried for hours and started looking for a new job.

30 Day Minimalism Challenge

I have been decluttering every month or so since I was about three months pregnant four years ago but my spending habits mean I still have accumulated a whole load of stuff over the years. I am completely fed up with there always being things everywhere to tidy up and put away, so I am putting myself on a 30 day Minimalism challenge this month.

Birthday Haul & November Goals

Happy November! Whew this year really is flying by isn't it?! I started my Christmas shopping in September and I'm feeling quite confident that I will finish it this month! I only really have my nieces and nephews to buy for now.

Breathe & Make Time for Yourself

A few months ago, I was after some magazines to read and while I was in ASDA I spotted Breathe magazine. I love anything to do with wellness and mindfulness, and the imagery on the magazines were so lovely that I needed to take them home with me.

Pumpkin Picking & Face Painting

It's officially spooky season! It's been two years or so since we last took Charlie pumpkin picking so I was determined to go this year. We also went with Joshs sister, her fiancé, Josh's brother, Mum and step dad. It was so lovely to go with most of the family this time! Although I haven't included their faces in the photos for their privacy.

Diary Entry #24 | Work, Anxiety & Netflix

I am officially at the end of my first five day week at the nursery and I am exhausted. It doesn't help that I've actually been working more hours than I was supposed to, and I also have a cold.

Bullet Journal Tour | Part 2

My original bullet journal for 2021 has officially run out of pages, just in time for October! I'm trying to reduce my notebook collection, so instead of buying a brand new notebook, I decided to use one my friend Ellie got me. I originally used the notebook for daily manifesting, but like most things, I lost interest after a week. Fingers crossed this notebook lasts me until the end of the year!

Hello October

Hello October! Goodness me, that's come around quick hasn't it? I swear it was only August yesterday! I am so excited for my favourite month though, roll on daily hot chocolates, cooler sweater weather, Samhain, Halloween and my birthday!
