I read an article the other day which mentioned Dr Faye Begeti, otherwise known as The Brain Doctor. Absolutely love her tips and guidance on subjects like sleep, habits and mental health. There are so many people struggling right now with mental health issues brought on by this pandemic. I feel incredibly thankful that I… Continue reading The Brain Doctor

The Nagging Task
In The Happiness Project, (love that book!) Gretchen Rubin talks about tackling a nagging task and how it can boost your mood when you get it done. Blimey...I have so many of these that I don't even know where to start lol. But hey, you just gotta start somewhere with something, right? Late last year… Continue reading The Nagging Task

I completed all my #teamtomm Level 1 tasksI completed all my #teamtomm Level 2 tasksI downsized my wrist watch collection and put over half of them into the charity shop bagAnd I also put ALL my junk… Continue reading Win Win
Isn’t It Ironic…
It's been a hectic and stressy few days. I don't feel like I've had a minute to myself and self care has been very thin on the ground *sighs* Back in 2007 I bought a brass sign from eBay as I wanted something to put up in our (then) hallway. I'd always planned to paint… Continue reading Isn’t It Ironic…
Less Is Now
In my pursuit of "downsize the most painless way possible" and to take my mind off my eye infection, I found myself watching this on Netflix yesterday... https://youtu.be/jn-xbOCZOiQ How comes I'd never heard of these guys before? They have books...a Podcast (I've subscribed lol)...Website...Ted Talks...FaceBook...Instagram...you name it! But watching this film/documentary was so inspiring. I… Continue reading Less Is Now
Being Organised
I spoke briefly on the 1st of January about The Organised Mum method, but I cant tell you what an impact it has had on my day to day life. To be honest, I don't think you really need the book, you can get everything you need from the web site, following Gemma on Instagram… Continue reading Being Organised
An Uncertain Future
I spent most of yesterday tidying and decluttering. We have an estate agent coming on Thursday to give us a valuation on the house. We were going to wait until the last bits of work were done on the outside, but, with recent events we have decided to take action now and move into rented… Continue reading An Uncertain Future
Creative Juices
Last May I started a BA in Creative Writing. Everything was going great until November, when, suddenly, and I don't know why...I hit a wall. The creative juices were just not flowing. I ended up asking for an extension for my assignment. I think it was a combination of burn out (from all the studying)… Continue reading Creative Juices
Making Time
When i'm busy (which seems to be all the time at the moment lol) I find it hard to fit into my day everything I want/need to do. One of the things that ends up taking a backseat is reading. Yesterday morning I listened to a Podcast, where KM Weiland was being interviewed about her… Continue reading Making Time
Kon Mari…Or Trying To
Thanks to storm Dennis we've spent most of the weekend trapped in the house (literally!) where the driveway flooded and getting to our car involved wading through 6 inches of water (in places). The poor Puggies have only been for a couple of short walks as the lanes are flooded and being Pugs, they only… Continue reading Kon Mari…Or Trying To
