Well it’s the start of a New Year 2020. I have very much neglected my blog recently. I was due to update my debit card for the monthly payment of my site over Christmas and I really debated renewing and updating my card details. After some thought I decided that I would miss it too…
I’ve stopped and started this blog time and time over these past months. Tonight though, I’ve locked myself away with a promise to myself to complete it. To say it’s been 6 months of hell is an understatement. Last year had some real low points, with some sad and lonely days. 2019 was to be…
I’ve missed writing so much over the past couple of months. I’ve missed a lot of things if I’m honest. I’ve had plans to makeover my downstairs bathroom, run some craft sessions, and make some new products for Bella’s. Unfortunately that’s just what they have been ‘plans’. Why haven’t I been able to complete my…
“Teenagers” we currently have 4 of our own and a 5th one who visits daily ?. My knowledge on them is vast, they are not standard creatures, but highly complex, they can be hypo one minute the next slug like creatures wrapped in duvets and blankets. There is no stereotypical teenager they all…
So we have a pup, yes a rather cute 4 month old little pup. Just how/why did we go about adding to our already rather large animal gang ? Well it does make for an interesting read, so here goes…. Most families take months planning, organising and dreaming about getting a new family pet. Well…

Jealousy is such a ugly trait, one that many of us have encountered in some form. I can’t typically say I am a jealous person. Not because I claim to have the world but I find people/journeys/homes inspiring. If for example I see a home interior that I like, I will swoon over it and…
When an animal is hurt they find a quiet spot and hide, often with great worry to their owners. This past month I have done just that. I have been dealing with a situation that has caused so much upset that I felt blogging was totally inappropriate. It was not where I wanted to be. …
I’ve been too busy living a very full on life the past month to sadly add to my blog’s. We are a year on from blogging, and the creation of ‘Keeping it real’ and I wanted to mark the year with a strong and powerful blog. Infact I want to roll out a #, my…
The playroom had simply become a dumping ground. We all have those spaces. The craft room was also one, although, that has recently had a fine tidy up from my eldest son and his girlfriend. The playroom was our final makeover for 2017. What a year it had been. We started with the lounge makeover,…
