A few weeks ago I wrote a blog about how to improve productivity, challenging myself to establish how productive I am at work and in my home. I created a free printable to help with this challenge, and I have…
I really enjoyed writing last week’s blog so have decided to try to write it weekly. I am not sure if you read it/liked it, but it helped me to think back to what I was thankful for rather than…
I recently wrote this article showing you how to make a bike wheel clock for Reloved Magazine for Father’s Day. However it makes a great project for anyone in the house! Choosing something for your father or even your children’s…
June was a funny month in many ways. Firstly there was the never ending rain and flash floods here, then the political fall out from the EU referendum and finally my broken foot, but my Instagram feed was still full…
It is has been a very difficult week for the 48% of people who wanted to stay in the EU, but the after effect / fall-out has been unbelievable here in the UK. While our leaders backstab, hide, bicker and generally…
If you are the parents of small children you will know that they come with a lot of paper. I literally had no idea that once I had children my home would be filled with art creations. I remember their…

I don’t know about you, but I sit at my desk for at least 6 hours a day and I know that when I had a more corporate job, I worked at it for over 10 hours! Lighting the room…
Yes, I realise that it is half way through 2016 but the blogging world is changing so fast, that I thought I’d share my thoughts on what to expect for the rest of 2016 and beyond. I have now been…
The last few weeks have been really hectic what with managing two wedding fairs and spraining my foot (ouch) so I have hardly had any time to go thrifting! I have also been immersed in my new articles for Reloved…
