Sixteen Years a Vegetarian: A Lifestyle Rooted in Kindness

Sixteen Years a Vegetarian: A Lifestyle Rooted in Kindness

Sixteen years ago, I made the decision that I didn’t want to eat meat anymore, and I never looked back. What started as a small shift became a lifestyle rooted in kindness, compassion, and staying true to my values. From limited veggie options to a fully supportive family (and a meat-loving husband who happily eats my plant-based meals), it’s been a journey that’s shaped who I am today.

Dog Hair, Don’t Care: A Dog Mum Story

Six years ago, Hunter made me a dog mum,
and honestly, it’s one of my favourite titles. He’s needy, dramatic, usually freezing cold, refuses to get up early, and lives for sunbathing in the summer like it’s a full-time job. Life with him isn’t always calm or tidy, but it’s full of laughter, cuddles, and unconditional love. And I wouldn’t have it any other way

Coffee, Sunsets & Days Like These

Coffee, Sunsets & Days Like These

February has been slow, rainy, and a little quieter than usual, and I’ve kind of loved it. Coffee-filled mornings, muddy dog walks with Hunter, early sunsets, and cozy nights in have been shaping my days. With Valentine’s just around the corner and spring slowly on its way (even if I’m not ready for it), I’ve been leaning into the comfort of familiar routines and the calm that comes with slowing down.

An Autumn–Winter Girl, Always

An Autumn–Winter Girl, Always

I’m an autumn–winter loving girl because these seasons feel like home to me. I love the way the world slows down, the air turns sharp, and everything feels a little more intentional. Cozy layers, early sunsets, warm drinks, and quiet evenings just make sense to my soul. Autumn and winter invite rest, reflection, and romance in the everyday, and that’s the rhythm I choose to live by.

Falling in Love with the January Blues – Frosty Mornings & Hibernation

This January, I’m leaning into slow mornings, cold walks, warm drinks, and the simple routines that make winter feel calm, cosy, and grounding.

Life, Reloaded

January has well and truly arrived, bringing early alarms, strong coffee, and the slow return to routine. Christmas feels like a lifetime ago, and real life is back with a vengeance. From a beautiful winter wedding to a house that currently looks mid-move, this is life right now, messy, cosy, caffeinated, and very much reloading.

From Festive to Familiar – The First Week Of Normality

The first week of 2026 is already behind us, and life has slipped back into its familiar rhythm far too quickly. Early alarms, packed lunches, and quiet evenings have replaced the festive chaos. I’m learning to find comfort in the routine again, even while missing the slower days and the moments spent together before normality returned.

Here we are, 2026

Here we are , 2026. And here I am too, writing my first blog post after what turned into almost a full year away. After a few scattered posts early last year, I quietly stepped back. Not because I stopped loving blogging, but because somewhere along the way, the spark...

My Saturday

My chilled out Saturday

Dog mum buns

He might be a furry 4 legged little weirdo, but he’s our furry 4 legged little weirdo and we love him so much. - So incase you didn’t guess it, today I am celebrating 5 whole years since Hunter practically bounced into the lives of my husband Luke and I. It’s a day I...

Winter Weekends

Day 365 of January, or at least that’s how it feels, with Christmas being a distant memory, January is the month that just keeps on going. Anyone else feel like that? As much as I am forever an autumn girl, Winter does come in at second place, as it is a gorgeous...

New Year, 2025, New opportunities

Let me start this post by saying - Happy New Year! And yes of course I know I’m 12 days late but better late than never. So Christmas has long been and gone (or at least it feels that way) and my Christmas didn’t go to plan, as in the plan that I have mapped out for...

The Halloween weekend

Guys - it’s the spooky season, and as most of you know I am a self confessed lover of the spooky season, in fact it may just well be up there with Christmas for me. I love the fact the all horror movies are perfectly acceptable to watch, even the ones that may have...

Autumn Essentials

I love autumn (have I mentioned that before?) It’s always been my favorite season. And it’s really finally here at last! Okay whilst the weather isn’t exactly giving me those cute autumn vibes - think more heavy downpours and floods, when I was hoping for crisp air...
