15 Ways to Add More Hours to Your Day


How to find more time in your day

The last few months have been extremely busy. There have been events that I have wanted to say yes to, but have had to say no due to working longer hours. This has left me feeling frustrated and feeling like I need more than 24 hours to have a balanced life. I’m sure I’m not […]

Motivational Monday – Let’s Get Cosy


Let's get Cosy

Motivational Monday – one word to inspire your month. Here in the UK the clocks have gone back which means it will be getting darker earlier. It’s the perfect excuse to start getting COSY.

Exploring Florence on Foot


Ponte Vecchio, Florence, Italy

We were so excited to start our holiday with a day exploring Florence on foot. My friend Pip had wanted to visit for sometime, and although I hadn’t researched what to expect, I knew being in Italy that it would be full of grace and charm. We’d booked a full day tour to immerse ourselves […]

There’s No Place Like Home


New York, London, Paris, Rome are all very well, but this is home

After her travels along the yellow brick road, Dorothy may well have been right in saying…..There’s No Place Like Home. I love to travel and whether it’s a weekend away, a shortbreak or weeks at a time I always like coming home. As I step through my front door there’s a sense of familiarity and […]

A Weekend in Cornwall


Padstow, Cornwall

I love having quality time with my family and during August bank holiday we all took a trip to Cornwall. It’d been a couple of years since the last time I was there when I’d re-visited many of our childhood haunts. This time though, with three precious days, it was about relaxing. St Ives The first […]
