Sunday night feeling
This weekend has been full of snow! I love snow days. It’s a great opportunity for staying in and snuggling up on the sofa and I always welcome the enforced rest that a snow day brings – unless you’re stuck somewhere and frantically shovelling your way out of snow that is. This week brings…

#ff @TheEverygirl_
Today’s follow Friday is for The Everygirl blog. I found this blog over the Christmas holidays and have been reading frequently ever since. It’s the brainchild of Alaina Kaczmarski and Danielle Moss – who also have individual blogs that are well worth reading. These ladies work hard.

Celebrate the home of Danielle Moss

I quickly became hooked by Danielle’s honest and reflective writing style and have been a regular visitor to her blog ever since. Danielle’s home was featured in Rue magazine and you can…

Sunday night feeling
This weekend has been spent with my husband’s family – we’ve been celebrating my mother in law’s 60th birthday and had dinner at the very sophisticated Petersham hotel in Richmond and were thoroughly spoilt. (The second image is from the bathroom there. We were laughing at how huge it is – possibly bigger than…

#ff @simplethingsmag
Time for another Friday follow on the blog. Today it’s the lovely new (or fairly new) magazine The Simple Things. This magazine is. just. gorgeous. I’ve seen it out in the shops for the past few months but have been busy buying its sister magazine ‘Mollie Makes’ and so couldn’t really justify spending out any more on…

New Year, new challenge
