Blogging is a marathon, not a sprint.

How to get up early and exercising

  I have been asking myself - why do I blog?   Then I had a realisation. I am training for a marathon. Before you all start hyperventilating with shock, it's not a running marathon, ... Read More

  Bloggers/writers, have you ever sat staring at the computer screen? That blank page taunting you, the flickering cursor mocking you. It has happened to all of us - blogger's block.  Several ... Read More

10 ways to find readers for your blog

  In January I started this blog. By February I couldn't imagine my life without my blog. It is fair to say that I have fallen head over heels in love with blogging. When I first started, I ... Read More

Why I blogged everyday

  As you read this post I am on my way to Norway. I will have made it far as the UK by now. Exciting times! I will have spent the night crammed in a Premier Inn with my family. They all snore ... Read More

  • Our first weekend in our new house has been a lovely one ❤. We had our first guests come to stay, Mr C celebrated his birthday and then had Father's Day. Lucky man! Today we went exploring the local lanes and neighbourhood. I think we are all going to be very happy here. 😊😍❤ . . . . . .#theislandbreak #jerseyci #visitjersey🇯🇪 #visitjersey #ukexplore #countrylife #beachlife #vitaminsea
  • Over on the blog (link in profile) I am talking about finding the joy and the things I have been doing when the anxiety starts to take hold. Like going for a walk and enjoying this beaut of a sunset. The past year and a half has been slightly challenging and I still can't believe that we finally have a house. 🏠 I've been pinching myself all week. ❤ . . . .#theislandbreak #jerseyci #sunsetjersey #beach🌊 #visitjersey #positive_vibes #ukexplore #samsungs9plus #nofilterneeded
  • 3 weeks ago I was feeling frustrated because it was looking like the bank wouldn't accept my wage on our mortgage application. I vented my frustrations in a blog post (link in profile) and that post went live last Thursday. By Friday evening that post was out of date because we had a house! After a tense three days the bank approved my wage and now we are the proud owners of this lovely house. We are all feeling incredibly lucky ❤ . . . . .#homestyle #documentyourdays #designisinthedetail #pursuepretty #cottagestyle #cottageliving #countrylife #darlingmovement #jerseyci #theislandlife
  • "I went to bed as soon as the children went to bed so I could relish reading it in peace...I couldn't rest until I finished reading the novel, until I had learnt the fate of all the characters. Now that I have finished I want to start it all over again" My books are like my children, I don't have favourites...until now that is!! Little Fires Everywhere is now one of my favourite books and probably my favourite book for 2018! You will want to read this novel, this is a novel that stirred every emotion in my body. Head over to the link in my profile to read my review of this beautiful novel ❤ (gifted) . . . . . . . #mnbookclub #mumsnet #booklove #booknerd #booksofinstagram #bookish #instareads #fiction #literary #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #literaturelover #bookblogger #bookaddict #bookaholic #booktastic #bookflaylay #bookstagram #booksbooksbooks
  • In the words of Heather Small (yes, I am now quoting pop singers) "what have you done today to make you feel proud?" FYI I can do a rather good impression of Heather Small singing that song! Yep, I might be no pop star but there is a good reason for sharing my ombre hair. No those roots aren't deliberate, I just desperately need a haircut and my hair dyed. Anyway, I digress, over on the blog (link in profile) I'm sharing why I'm trying to feel proud of what I have achieved. #jerseyci #selfcare #selflove #positive_vibes #postiveenergy #positivequotes #talentedtalkers
  • Oh Jersey, I think I might be falling in love with you all over again 😍 I make no secret of the fact that sometimes I can find this island a hard place to live. However, when the sun shines there is no other place I would rather be. I have my fingers crossed that the sun shines for the rest of the week. Over on my blog (link in profile) I am sharing the best activities and places to visit in Jersey this May half-term. Do you have any plans for this week? . . . . . . . .#vitaminsea #theislandbreak #visitjerseyci #visitjersey #outdoorliving #beachlife #beach🌊 #sea_sky_nature #ukexplore #postcardsfromtheworld #igtravels #rememberingthesedays #documentyourdays #nofilter
  • I'm going to need a bigger book shelf! These are just some of the books I have read recently as you can tell it's quite an eclectic collection. However, I love them all for different reasons. I've just finished the top book - He Said She Said by Erin Kelly. This novel gripped me from start to finish. It's a tangled web of lies and you don't know how it's going to end until the very last moment!

  • Ahh, the sun is shining, barbecues up and down the land are being lit, and cold cans of beer are being opened! That has pretty much been us this weekend but minus the beer for me because I haven't had a boozy drink for 44 days now! Have I noticed a difference in my skin? Nope. Have I lost weight? Nope, I have replaced wine with chocolate. Have I felt full of energy? Nope. However, there have been some changes and I'm sharing them over on the blog (link in profile). Ps this rather lovely drink is my version of a mocktail made with @robinsons_uk raspberry, rhubarb and orange blossom juice, soda water and fresh raspberries. Lush and also not an ad! . . . . #sober #clubsoda #soberlife #soberliving #soberissexy #sobrietyrules #sobrietyrocks🤘 #sobrietyrules #sobrietyforwomen #sobrietytest #sobrietyisajourneynotadestination
