This year, I am on a mission to recapture the magic of Christmas. As a child, Christmas felt like pure magic and as I’ve grown up, it’s just not felt the same. I’ve had a few years, while I’ve loved watching my children enjoy the festive season, the just hasn’t felt like it used to. And this year it occurred …
We Got Married!
We got married! So of course I had to blog about the day!
How to go Vegetarian
I have been a vegetarian for six whole months (yay!), and I get that that isn’t a long time, but hey, we all start somewhere, right? That’s what I want to talk about today. A few people have mentioned to me over the past few weeks that they are considering becoming a vegetarian (most of them don’t eat a whole lot of meat anyway. I ate a lot so it was a pretty weird transition, but if I can do it, so can anyone :)) and I’m always too excited to word may response properly, so I thought I would write it here, so that if anyone needed that last bit of encouragement to quit meat, they could get it!
Party Planning
I love planning a party. My Pinterest is full of boards of different party themes, including the birthday party I held for my cat’s first birthday, and I start planning for the next party as soon as one is finished. Do I feel super stressed and anxious in the run up? Absolutely. But do I also love making decorations, curating …
A Vegan Halloween – How to make sure your spooky offerings are allergy-friendly
As a family of vegans (due to our baby having an allergy to egg and milk) food-centric events can be really difficult. You don’t ever want your child to be left out, especially due to dietary requirements, whether it’s through allergies, morals or religious reasons. That said, paying for specialist vegan sweets can be expensive and you run the risk …
A fun way to gift money for a wedding
When we got married, we asked for money towards our American Roadtrip honeymoon and we had such generous gifts from our guests which allowed us to have the best time ever. So when our friends asked for money for their wedding gift, I was more than happy to oblige. However, there’s something about just putting some money in a card …
We bought a house!
I cannot believe we have actually, finally bought a house. If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know it’s taken around 7 years to get to this point – partially because of Steven running his own business, and then me being self-employed, plus breaks to have babies and a global pandemic. It’s been A. Time. But here we are. …
Is Gousto Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans?
A few months back, I saw Katy from Katy Kicker talking about how useful she found Gousto when she was postpartum with her youngest Aurora and decided to drop her a message, asking if Gousto was suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Her being the good egg that she is, sent me a screen recording of some of the dishes on offer, and a discount code to use, and I decided to give it a go.
How hiring a cleaner changed my life
I’ve really struggled with whether to write this post, but after I mentioned it briefly on Instagram, it turns out a lot of you wanted to know a little more, so here we are. Honestly I have a lot of Poor Girl guilt. I grew up in a house where we literally couldn’t afford hot water, so I’d wash my …
AD| Teenage Boy Gift Guide
I genuinely think that teenage boys are the hardest to buy for. I am not, nor have I ever been, a teenage boy and if I thought I was out of touch with teenage girls, it’s nothing compared to this. That said, I have to try because there are a few teen, and pre-teen nephews on my shopping list, and …
