Sunday night feeling
Time for a #365 photo journal update this weekend. I have to say that I’m not actually taking a photo a day as it’s not always possible but I am still journaling as much as I can of everyday life. I can’t wait to make it all into a photo book at the end of…

New Series: Friday links
Time for a new series. After seeing lots of my favourite bloggers sharing what inspires them, I’ve decided to do my series sharing the same thing. Not what inspires them, what inspires me of course. Maybe ‘inspires’ is too strong a word, perhaps ‘interesting links’ or ‘go check this out’ is more appropriate? Anyhow, too…

Celebrate gold part I
One thing that I’ve really enjoyed about blogging over the past few years, is seeing how it has influenced my life when it comes to being more creative or adventurous with my sense of style in the home. There was a time when I would not have considered using much colour in our home for example…
