Musings :: Moments :: Memories
We had a sudden panic on Thursday evening when we remembered that it was the Warwick Town Victorian Evening during which they turn on the Christmas lights each year. We have been almost every year since we moved nearer to Warwick so we didn't want to miss it but I also didn't want Austin to… Continue reading This Week
I went to Costco on Black Friday. The annoying thing is that I didn't go looking for a bargain. I honestly thought that it would be quieter on a Friday than it would be tomorrow. I just kind of forgot that it is Black Friday. And that it is four weeks until Christmas. I went… Continue reading Mistakes I Made This Week
On Thursdays and Fridays, my mornings look a little different to the rest of the week. A little less hectic. One of the things I have started doing recently is spending a bit of time reading some non-fiction while I have my morning cup of tea and toast. I have put my planner, writing journal… Continue reading Mornings Around Here
We haven't made any plans yet for our holidays in 2024 but there are a few places I would consider visiting if we are able to: Photo by Aleksandar Pasaric on Pexels.com Spain (including the Balearic or Canary Islands) - Evelina's favourite subject is Spanish so we would love to take her somewhere she could… Continue reading Travelling in 2024

A couple of months ago, I started a challenge to blog every day for the rest of 2023. So far, I have managed to do so and today is Day 60. As a reminder, my intentions for the last 100 days of 2023 were: to adorn my home with seasonal decor - our autumn decor… Continue reading Mid Challenge Review
Another Sunday, another walk in the woods. I love these bright afternoon walks which give us time to catch up properly with each other, spend time in nature and get some time away from the to-do list all while giving Harper a really good run with lots of lovely woodland smells for her to explore.
We popped to the shops today and Rich wanted to look for shirts in Crew Clothing Company. I was very pleasantly surprised to see lots of things that I liked and that were in my size. I spotted the blouse on the right and liked it immediately. Rich saw the sweater on the left and… Continue reading New Threads
I had my hair done this morning and I feel like a new woman. The whole experience is rejuvenating. I go to Pelo Hair which is on the row of shops at Warwick Gates. The salon itself looks lovely and restful. The stylists are all so welcoming and friendly. The act of having someone comb,… Continue reading The Power of Pampering
As with most aspects of my life, I go through seasons where I am on top of meal planning and seasons where it is a shambles. I do not know why I am unable to maintain any form of regularity or routine but after years of trying to make myself stick to one, I have… Continue reading Using a Meal Matrix
