We love the sunshine. As soon as the sun is out, we’re up and outside, wanting to play. S will decide which park she wants to go to (either the yellow gate or the green gate) and off we go. Living in town means we can pop to the park Read more…
S is very particular about her clothing. She chooses her outfits each morning, and I’ve long since given up trying to make her wear anything at all. This poses a bit of a problem then, when companies want to send us clothes for her. It’s hit and miss, when the Read more…
Today’s #DayInTheLife is from Alan at Life With Baby Pink & The Boys. Alan turns 40 this Summer and was born to Irish parents though adopted by Americans. He spent time in an orphanage runs by nuns and a boarding school for emotionally disturbed children. Diagnosed with depression, he’s worked Read more…
I toyed with the idea of not even bothering with a weigh-in post this week, but I figure I can’t just not post if I know it’s not going to be good news! Goal for last week Last week’s goal was to stop the sugar… I have cut it Read more…
Mumsnet sent me a copy of Villa America for review. Villa America is a work of fiction based on historical fact; all of the characters bar one existed in real life, and the majority of events described in the book really happened. The book is set at the beginning of Read more…
This year, I’ve been setting myself monthly and weekly goals, with the aim of improving my business, my home life and this blog. So far, this approach has really been working well for me; I’ve been bringing more money through the door in my business, there’s floor space in my Read more…
1. Not making a to-do list It’s all very well making a mental note that you need to finish this, do that, go there, email this person, comment on that post. For me, if I don’t write it down, it ain’t getting done. I had a conversation the other day Read more…
One of my goals for this month is to get to inbox zero. When I first published the post, I kind of felt a bit ashamed, admitting I had over a hundred unread emails; I thought people would be horrified at what a terrible manager of emails I am. Read more…
Urgh. I’ve been eating sugar. I feel crappy for it but as yet, that’s not stopped me. Goal for last week Last week’s goal was to eat actual meals. I’ve done ok with that; I’ve started buying steak and cooking that in the evenings. I am severely lacking in Read more…
Welcome to my weekly goal setting linky. Thank you to everyone who joined in last week; for those who didn’t, here’s how it works. You can set yourself some goals, and join up to the linky – then we all leave positive and supportive comments on each other’s posts. Read more…
I am in The Sun today, alongside four other women, talking about how many people I’ve slept with. At first, I was just going to do the piece, have my photo taken in a nice dress, and not tell anyone about it. Because, you know, it’s kind of a personal Read more…
Are you one of those people who can sit at your laptop for two hours, and come out the other side with half a badly drafted post? Do you wish you could be more productive with the time you have, but find that it just slips away like grains Read more…
Yes, you read that right. I am glad I had a nervous breakdown. A while back I entered the local business awards, and part of the process was an interview with one of the judges. We had a lovely chat about my business, my blog and my life in general. Read more…
I can procrastinate like a boss. I can spend hours messing around on Facebook; more if I have something particularly urgent to do. I thought I was just really unproductive and a bit rubbish, but actually there are several reasons procrastination can be a good thing. Here are three of Read more…
For those who are not aware, I’m undertaking a year-long Happines Project this year, with a different challenge each month. This month, my challenge is to meditate each day. Before I learned to meditate I thought it was some sort of wizardry where you had to learn some sort Read more…
In this week’s podcast, I’m talking about the latest instalment of my sugar free journey, and how I don’t actually want any chocolate. [spreaker type=standard width=100% autoplay=false episode_id=6059986] Here are some of the books I’ve been reading lately: That Sugar Book – I reviewed this a couple of weeks ago and it Read more…
