Hi there and thanks for clicking on the ‘About Me’ page to find out more about this blog. I’m Kayleigh – a mum of two – and I have been occupying this blog space since March 2013. It’s changed many, many times over the years as I started talking about parenting and life as a single mother. Now it’s evolved into a little bit of me.
Born in December 1988…no, I’m not giving you my life story! Don’t panic! It’s just that way you’ll know my age without me having to come back and change this each year. I’m a mum of two living in Hampshire, UK. I love to read and you will find a lot of bookish content on this blog. I spend most of my time working at home, over on Instagram, getting lost in a good book or playing video games. As a family we love to travel and I love to write about our adventures together.
This blog has become a place where I write book reviews but can also talk about politics, feminism and other issues that are important to me. I hope that my blog helps you think differently about something or maybe just gives you a person on the same level, some common ground, if you’re feeling a little bit alone.
I have anxiety and a form of ocd that has lead to some real body hang ups, self esteem issues and years of dieting all to come to the conclusion that diet culture is there to ruin peoples lives. I have written positively on diets in the past but I no longer feel this way and I am no longer going to put myself through the stress of trying to lose weight. It’s not worth it. If you want to find out more about what I blog and write about then this page has all my latest blog posts, videos and social media links.

![Do you ever start books and then just don’t finish them...Not actively DNF’ing because you enjoy them but then something else comes along and before you know it the book is firmly back on the shelf and you haven’t picked it up for months?
I have a lot like this from last summer where I got like ten chapters in then just hit a slump or fancied a change or switched formats...
Thorn is one such read for me. It was part of a book club read and I started off so well but then just...stopped. I’d love to finish it soon!
