Last Thursday, I boarded a plane at Newcastle airport and set off on a bit of a journey - a journey that would not only take me to the other end of the country but one that I hoped would help me to begin the healing process after my Dad passed away last month.I'd originally planned a cheeky weekend away at the Flea Retreats Blogging Weekend which was a gift from Mr Frugal at Christmas but after my Dad died, I was very tempted to cancel the weekend entirely. In the end, after some convincing from my lovely little family, I went the other way completely and booked an extra night away at the … [Read more...]
‘Things are Looking Up’ Essential Oil Roller – will help with Depression, Stress and Anxiety….
Today I'm sharing an essential oil roller which I believe will help with depression, stress and anxiety. It's certainly helped me to get through the last couple of weeks which have been pretty awful with my lovely Dad passing away.Over the last year or so, I've been enjoying learning a little bit about essential oils and the effects that they can have on your moods. I've learned that they can be energising (peppermint oil), relaxing and calming (lavender), uplifting (bergamot) as well as stress relieving (frankincense) and my homemade sleep spray using essential oils was such a … [Read more...]
16 Vintage Crochet Patterns…
OK, I'll start this post by holding my hands up and telling you that I cannot crochet to save my life! However, when another blogger offered to share some of her free vintage crochet patterns with you, I thought it was something that might interest a few of you. You might have noticed that over the last month or so, Saturdays have more often than not been round-up posts of some other great content from around the internet. There's a couple of reasons for this which I'll explain now before I get into today's vintage crochet pattern round up. ;-)Firstly, I have lots of ideas for things … [Read more...]
Dear Dad….
As you read this, I'll be at my Dad's funeral saying goodbye to the man who's been there for me since the day I was born. It feels like a good day to share this letter that I wrote to him the day after he died.I wasn't planning on sharing it as it was simply a post that I wrote to make myself feel better by getting it all out but as I thought about writing a post to share with you today, it just felt right to share this with you.Dear Dad,I can't believe you're really gone, that I really held your hand last night as you took your last breath last night.It doesn't feel real … [Read more...]
The Ultimate Stain Removal Guide….
When they were younger, my children would always be the messiest kids in the street. Not because I didn't take pride in the way they looked or that I didn't pay attention to their hygiene habits but because I really feel that letting children get messy encourages everything from creativity to confidence.The problem with mess though, is that it comes hand in hand with stains and no matter how much I wanted to encourage the kids to explore and create, I didn't want them to be ruining clothes on a regular basis. Rather than stop them from doing what kids do best, I just became a master … [Read more...]
Would you pay to pre-book a sun lounger on holiday?
I save all year round for the holidays that we have throughout the year so I want them to be perfect when we get there! Even so, I'm not sure I agree with the latest holiday 'extra' that you can now buy with some holidays!Over the last few years, tour operators and airlines have started to add sneaky little extras on to the cost of a holiday.It started with the option to pre-book seats together which on the face of it seems like an OK added extra but then some tour operators started to charge for meals on the flights as well as transfers between the airport and your hotel.Next … [Read more...]
