I’m Going to BlogOn 2022

I’m Going to BlogOn 2022

Blogging conferences have always been a really fun part of blogging for me and a great way to meet other writers and brands from all across the country. I'm sad to say it's the last BlogOn conference that will be held in The Coppid Beech Hotel in Bracknell but I can not wait to go. It's been far, far too long since I've squished my blogging buddies and had a weekend away where I'm not anything to anyone else except myself. No one has to rely on me, it's purely a chance to do what I ... Read more

Mental Health and Life Update – September 2022

Mental Health and Life Update – September 2022

It saddens me that a genuine post hasn't come from the heart here for such a long time. I remember reading in various blogging groups I was in years ago that talked about how people would go to find a blog they used to love and see that it hadn't been updated and I always thought to myself I hope I never get to that point yet it turns out I have and I desperately want to change that. Writing has been a healthy outlet for me for as long as I can remember and not having it as part of my ... Read more

A Year of FFXIV

Final Fantasy XIV is an online MMO available on PC and Playstation. It's been a year since I started the game and I wanted to take the chance to reflect on some of my memories since I began. My current FFXIV PSN playtime is 1,815 hours. This time last year after having a PS5 for around six weeks I decided to try and give Final Fantasy 14 a try. I didn't know what to expect other than the fact it was an MMO so there would be other players but being a fan of other final fantasy ... Read more

A Year of Nursery for Felix

A Year of Nursery for Felix

For the first time since Felix has been in nursery we were able to go and look around the setting and find out in person how he's been getting on. This time last year we enrolled him in nursery willing to pay for two sessions a week because we were worried about what the long term impact of covid would have on his social skills. When the pandemic hit Felix was 18 months old and no longer allowed to see family and friends. It was such a crucial age for him. It was heart-breaking when we ... Read more

Dr Strange and The Multiverse of Madness

Dr Strange and The Multiverse of Madness

I've been a huge fan of the MCU for years now so it's no surprise that I was excited for second Dr Strange film which I was able to see recently thanks to Adam being gifted cinema vouchers for his birthday. Cinema outings have been less frequent over the last few years for obvious reasons so it was great to get out and see a film I'd been anticipating. I missed out on watching Spiderman No Way Home when it was in the cinema so, thanks to Amazon, I watched that before the film. I'd also ... Read more
