I am a HUGE fan of social media, and I follow a lot of people on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook (I tried Snapchat for about ten minutes and got bored, it seems a bit silly and I am probably way too old for it) and I love my little corner of the world on social […]
READ MOREDaily Snippets 8/02/18 Put on your big girl pants and smile…
Being an adult sucks sometimes! We aren’t allowed to cry and stamp our feet like toddlers do, and people make allowances for us. We are expected to cope with life and get on with things even when life isn’t going the way we want. This week, I’ve had to sit myself down and give myself […]
READ MOREHaving a green and easy to maintain lawn isn’t
I love pretty gardens and am filled with envy at those who seem to have green thumbs and endless skills at making flowers grow, plants to bloom and keep their lawns looking immaculate. I enjoy the basics of gardening and the children do too, but sometimes it can be incredibly frustrating and feel like all […]
READ MOREDaily Snippets 7/02/18 – I must not stay up all night binge watching Grey’s Anatomy…

READ MOREWhy I don’t watch Star Wars with people who have never seen it…
Something you may not know about me, is that I am a big Star Wars fan. The original movies were part of my early childhood and I love them, and re-watched them as an adult. I have the original movies and the remastered movies, I have watched the new episodes. I personally don’t rate the […]
