Welcome to my latest edition of #InternetInspo! I have a little card (framed &) on my desk that reads: “Why on earth do you want to be like everyone else?” It sounds obvious, but it’s worth reminding ourselves every now & then why we are unique. Especially when our confidence is affected… Which brings me […] Read more…
CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF (BABY) SHOWERS
I am totally in love with the ‘cloud’ theme for baby showers & baby rooms at the moment. It works so well for a gender neutral baby shower with endless ideas for decor, eats & gifts. So sweet, don’t you think? At a recent ‘CLOUDY’ BABY SHOWER, the DÉCOR & FOOD were so much fun. It included: Fluffy […] Read more…

Napping is one of my favourite things to do, […] Read more…
FINDING ME… {slender wonder – part 1}
This blog post title sounds a bit like Finding Nemo. I know, because it is sort of the same plot.
