La Belle Sauvage – The Book Of Dust #1 Review

January 16, 2019

The Book of Dust: La Belle Sauvage is the first in a new trilogy by Philip Pullman. I first saw the His Dark Materials advertised in my school library when I was young and then went on to watch the film The Golden Compass. La Belle Savauge is a prequel to The Northern Lights book (The Golden Compass in the US) and I have really enjoyed getting back into the series. I first listened to the entire original His Dark Materials trilogy a few years ago thanks to Audible. *Contains Affiliate ... Read more

Making Plans for 2019

January 14, 2019

With a new year we often want to start making new plans. This could be anything from moving home, a new hobby or a holiday. I like creating my goals lists so I have some focus on what I'm doing with my blog and home too. I find this really helpful. Some people, however, might want to look at starting a business or turning their hobby into a business but might be lacking the funds to do so.

Would You Discovery Your Ancestry?

I've seen copies of my family tree from one side of my family but I'd really like to find out more if I could. I've had members of the family look back on our ... Read more

January 2019 Goals

January 1, 2019

This year I've decided to split my goals up into monthly blocks so that I can, hopefully, do and achieve more. I've tried to make them manageable but also a little out of my usual comfort zone so that I can really work towards something I want. I've decided against resolutions as such but I do have a word of the year. My word for 2019 is: This means in 2019 I want to do more of the things I love rather than giving up or stopping things. I will be swapping things around a ... Read more

Felix at Two Months

December 4, 2018

I wanted to do monthly updates of Felix as he grows but that kind of went out of the window as things have just been so strange. Really we've just been soaking in that newborn stage but now things really seem to be falling into place and I can't quite believe I'm sharing how he's grown in the last two months with you. Firstly, my recovery is going well however I still can't walk as fast as I did. I question if it's just healing and the muscle damage from surgery was quite a lot but I'm ... Read more
