5 Things You Can Do to Feel More Organised
Organisation is one of those things that I'm working to be much better at, but I've definitely found that it takes setting some routines and following them through.

The good thing about this embracing imperfection series, … [Read more...]
Organisation Challenge: The Magazine Pile
Magazines are one of those things that can come into our homes quite quickly and easily, but they often like to hang around.

Pinterest Saturdays: 6 Cool Kids Bedrooms

So today I thought I'd share a quick and easy way to decorate … [Read more...]

But sometimes those big goals, like this one, feel like they're too big to achieve. People will tell you to break them down and focus on each individual step. Which is great, but what do you do when you've done that and you're working … [Read more...]

I Was Told There’d Be Cake: A Book Review
Back when I worked in the corporate world, I spent a lot of my lunch times hiding in a bookshop. I didn't love my job, but because it was my first real inner city - grown up - job I thought it was just how things were meant to be. So I would go to the bookshop and see what new books they had on display and I bought a few lot of books where the covers popped out at me. I Was … [Read more...]
