Tips for Working from Home & Staying Sane in Lockdown
I thought I’d love the working from home life but it’s not quite the way I planned with my husband also having to work from home plus a two year old to look after! A few days in, here are my top tips for working from home, staying sane and being as productive as possible! 1. Routine Laying out a rough routine has really helped.

We’ve also drawn up a plan for the day…
Ikea Duktig Makeover | DIY Play Kitchen
I’m not the first to do an Ikea Duktig makeover but everyone has their own style and this version of the play kitchen is 100% my vibe!

I designed our kitchen from scratch and there was no way I was going to put something in it that didn’t fit in completely! When I saw how easy it was to makeover the Duktig kitchen I just knew I had to get one and make it look just like ours! And guess what? It was pretty easy! You can watch my Ikea Duktig makeover tutorial…

Ikea Hack | Ikea Latt Table Makeover | DIY Chalkboard Table
Ikea hacks are my favourite thing to do, I’m a big Ikea fan and I just love upcycling something that’s cheap and cheerful into a one off, unique piece. In this tutorial I’m going to show you how I did a makeover on the Ikea Latt Table and turned it into a DIY chalkboard table. The Ikea Latt table and chairs is a great little set for a toddler and it’s a real bargain at just £20. But let’s be real, it’s basic right? It can also look pretty shabby pretty quickly once it’s had a few grubby little fingers on it! By pimping it up a little it gives…

Testing Cheap Lace Front Wigs from Amazon!
Cheap lace front wigs from Amazon? They’re going to be rubbish, right? Right?! WELL… read on my friend! My hair just isn’t where I want it to be at the minute, I fancied a change but it’s hard to decide what to go for and be brave enough to go for a bright colour.

My Aldi Baby Event Haul
I’ve being trying to get out of the house to the Aldi Baby Event for the last couple of days but between trying to sleep train Theo and getting trapped in my house by a dangerous tree (true story) I didn’t manage it as soon as I would have liked. So today, after Theo’s morning nap we headed out to investigate and nab ourselves some bargains! Our local Aldi isn’t huge so I wasn’t expecting the baby event to be massive but I was pleasantly surprised, there was loads and loads of great stuff! I managed to contain myself and not go wild buying a lot of things we don’t…
My Struggle with Anxiety During Pregnancy | #anxieteaandme
In support of the #anxieteaandme campaign started by the lovely Charlotte from Mombie Diaries, I’ve written this post about my struggle with anxiety during my pregnancy in the hope that more of us will feel able to share our struggles, normalise mental health issues and seek help. Pregnancy is supposed to be a really exciting, happy time. Preparing a new life for the world is meant to be one of the most fulfilling things a woman can do but unfortunately for me, it didn’t happen that way. I’m naturally a worrier so in my first pregnancy, it came out to play a bit but it was manageable and didn’t bother…
