A Very Merry Christmas – Festive Trends 2023

My collection of Christmas decorations is an ever evolving mixture of old and new. While I generally keep a few favourites year after year I do like to update the look with some fresher pieces that reflect the latest Christmas trends. The past few years I have leaned into the natural trends from festive decorations. This typically takes colours and themes from late Autumn into the Christmas season. Warm oranges and greens, mushroom and woodland ornaments, and even taking elements from nature itself to decorate with.  Whether you’re just updating your Christmas decor with a few pieces or starting from… Read More

DIY Bobbin Picture Memory Frame

This post has been sponsored by Very.co.uk One of the most interesting or wonderful or sometimes very terrifying things about parenting is seeing a miniature version of yourself growing up before your very eyes. Something that never fails to make my heart burst is watching them start to form their own interests and become obsessed with learning a new skill or discovering a new activity.  I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve always got a camera in my hand or because of how much I enjoy getting all our old pictures out, but both of them love taking photos and… Read More

Why I Replaced my Laminate Flooring with Vinyl (spoiler – because it’s AMAZING!)

On the very first day we moved into our home 5 years ago I decided we needed to change two things. Actually, thinking about it I decided we needed to change about 50 (most of which are still in progress) but the two that were at the top of the list were our fences and the living room floor. Five years later and we finally have both done and oh my word, it was so worth the wait! It’s hard for me to put into words how much I love this flooring. Yes (full disclosure) this is a PR product… Read More

A Green Garden Refresh with Durapost Vento Fences

After five years of living in this house we recently changed our 4 foot high fences for these stunning Durapost Vento composite fence panels. Not only are they a stunning option for any garden (with several different colour combinations available) but they are built to last! These fences aren’t going anywhere for a long time! Yes, the specifications for these fences are really very impressive but there’s so much more to them. I’m not exaggerating when I say this is the one change we have made to our home that has 1, brought me the most joy and 2, made… Read More

3 Ways to Use a Printer that will Make Your Life Better

I’ve realised that one of the things I cannot live without in my 30’s is my printer. Stay with me here. I know printing out things from your computer seems very 1990’s, but the times of grainy, lined photo prints and the random paper eating while you’re trying to print out a bar chart for your geography homework have gone. Thankfully printers have moved on and now they are endlessly useful in our everyday lives. Having a great printer gives you unlimited opportunities to organise and decorate your home. I also use mine to entertain the kids, for making tons… Read More

DIY Tower Cleansing Bars

It’s been such a long time since I’ve had the chance to play with the awesome products from Stephenson. But since they’ve launched a completely new, never seen before product I had to give it a go. So I decided to try it out with a range of moulds and create these stunning towers which would look incredible in any bathroom! And it really gave me the chance to see how this new formula works in a range of different shapes and colours. This incredibly innovative product has been setting the handmade beauty world on fire! There’s a lot of… Read More

DIY Wavy Shelf with Cricut

AD – PR product featured Of the many, many, MANY materials the Cricut Maker 3 is able to cut, the one I’ve been most excited about is basswood. The potential for creating wooden designs without ever touching a power tool is incredibly exciting. And while the basswood is light and thin (making it possible to cut using the Cricut knife blade) the Maker cuts the pieces so accurately we’re able to layer the pieces and build strength. But there’s plenty of things we can do with a single sheet of basswood. This wavy shelf is one of them! I’ve only… Read More

How to make your Mother’s Day gift more than perfect this year with DIY fabric wrap

What is it that makes a Mother’s Day gift so special? It’s a different kind of gift than a birthday or Christmas present. It’s a thank you rather than a celebration. It’s a token of love and gratitude. It’s the way we express a feeling. But how do you do that with a gift, something so material? How do you buy something to show someone how much you care for them? But it’s funny how my own perspective on this has changed since becoming a parent. It’s the simple things that get me. I love those nonsense scribbles in cards… Read More
