January Recap & February Goals

January is finally over! I swear it lasted an eternity (why is January always the longest month?!) But the first month of 2020 is complete. It's been a pretty good start to the year for me. Josh and I have been on lots of adventures, including mine and Charlie's first trip to a trampoline park - which Charlie loved - and, just last weekend we all went to Howletts together.

I also made a good start on my years goals, and haven't done too badly on changing some of my worst habits.

Kearsney Abbey | Photo Diary

Another child-free Sunday, another walk! Josh and I decided to invest in some hiking boots (which we picked up on eBay) and headed over to Temple Ewell to test them out. Kearsney Abbey is one of my favourite places, and I would go there often growing up. 

Habits I Want To Change in 2020

I honestly have some terrible habits. I put everything off, I drink tea and spend money like it's going out of fashion, and spend most of my days (and nights) on my phone. I have been making some changes over the last few months already, but it never hurts to write a list.

Date Ideas for All Budgets

Josh and I live for our dates. There's nothing better than having a day or night free from Charlie, to reconnect, chill out or just enjoy each others company. Some times we don't even wait until we're without Charlie, as soon as he's in bed we're straight on to doing something fun! We have loads of different ways to date, some cost more than others, and some cost nothing! I thought I'd share our favourite ideas.

20 Books for 2020

Another year, another reading goal! I decided to take my goal down to 20 this year, as it seems rather fitting. I'm hoping to read more but sometimes reality gets in the way, so I think 20 is a pretty reasonable goal. Here's what I'm planning to read over the next 12 months: 

Goals for 2020

Hello, 2020! Goodness me, the years really are just flying by now aren't they? I had more goals than I could manage last year, so in 2020 I really want to dial it down a bit. But not too much!

November & December Recap

It's nearly 2020! The last two months have been amazing. I have spent loads of time with family (mostly Josh's, but family nonetheless!) had a great Christmas, watched a majority of the films on our Christmas film bucket list, went on a much-needed woodsy walk, and definitely lost weight! 2019 is ending on a high note. 

Best Books of 2019

My reading goal for 2019 (and two months of 2018!) started off at 100. About six months in I realized it wasn't going to happen, and changed it to 30. Now 2019 is nearly over, I would love to share with you my eight favourite reads of 2019.

Brockhill Country Park | Photo Diary

Josh and I love going on long walks. In fact, it was one of the first things we discovered we have in common! Unfortunately, we haven't really been for a decent walk since the weather turned cold, and after a few days of being stuck indoors, I needed to be surrounded by trees. So, on a whim, we decided to go to Brockhill Country Park.

Charlie's Christmas Eve Box

Well it's officially nearly Christmas! This year I'm really excited about Charlie's Christmas Eve box. He's had one since his first Christmas, lovingly made by my Auntie and Uncle, and this is the first year I really want to make an effort with it, and he may have a better understanding of the concept. I'm really excited to start this little tradition properly! 

My New Exercise Regime and Healthy Habits

Yep, yet another fitness-based blog post. How many of those have I posted over the last two years, and then totally ignored? This one is different! I'm absolutely going to stick to it this time! Today, I want to talk about how I plan to lose a little more weight, and tone up.
