Bump!
Yesterday, I reached 24 weeks pregnant and finally I am starting to really fall in love my bump. I have had body issues for as long as I can remember, especially when I hit my 20’s and my weight would fluctuate between a size 8 and a size 16. In recent years, I have really… Continue reading Bump!
Hey baby!
It has been a very long time since I have done a proper post, but there has been a few very good reasons for this! I had had the full intention of making my blog to be about working on my new home, charity shopping and being out and about in Glasgow. We picked up… Continue reading Hey baby!
Happy New Year!

Christmaaaaaassssss!
Yay for time off! Finally its the holiday season, where I plan to eat a horrific amount of food, play video games and enjoy being with friends and family. When I was younger, I really hated Christmas, because it was always a messy situation in my family home. So naturally I wasn't much of a… Continue reading Christmaaaaaassssss!

It's been a little tradition of mine ever since my early 20's to visit mum… Continue reading Remembering to never forget
An update!
An evening with my laptop!? Inconceivable! What I REALLY should be doing is studying for my Japanese mid-term, but I am currently taking a break from the books to catch up a little on life. So much has happened since my last update! Tomorrow is my final day at my current job - I recently… Continue reading An update!
Excuses excuses…
I am terrible at writing these days. That really comes as no surprise! Its been over a year since I last updated and I honestly do want to improve on that. Life has been ridiculously busy. I desperately want to get back into blogging, I promise I will work harder at it! I have had a… Continue reading Excuses excuses…
Japan adventure…wait!
Part of me wants to write A LOT about my recent journey to Japan and how much it has changed how I have been looking at my life, but my house remains a bombsite since my mother's diagnosis and passing. Using this bank holiday weekend to ensure I have a happy home, because a happy… Continue reading Japan adventure…wait!
