Category: Lifestyle

Lifestyle is my most broad category covering a wide range of topics across our everyday lives. Home, garden, DIY, beauty, fitness, health and so on, this is the place to find a variety of tips, first-hand experience and ideas. 

I felt that it was important to cover all of these on my blog as parenting can go deeper than just those typical how to parent type posts and our well-being as parents is just as valuable. Giving an insight into what I struggle with, what I get up to, what I find helps and honest product reviews will all help you through your own parenting journey too… I hope!

Are Your Draughty Windows Worth Saving? What I Learned About Victorian Glass and Sustainability

The 6 AM Condensation Battle

Waking up in a Victorian terrace often involves a bracing morning ritual that has nothing to do with coffee. It starts with seeing your own breath in the bedroom air and ends with a towel in hand, wiping down the “crying” panes of glass that have accumulated a small lake of condensation overnight. That daily blast of cold wears you down. You look at the peeling paint, feel the icy draft sneaking round your ankles, and you’re just done.

In that moment, tearing everything out feels like the only sane option. New plastic windows, factory-fresh and airtight, start to look like the magic fix. The only way, you think, to finally get a warm London home back under your control.

Smart Ways to Make the Most of a Small Garden

Posted on by Emma Reed
*Collaborative Post

A small garden can feel like a challenge. Space is tight, and everything needs to earn its place, be it bikes, bins, pots, the BBQ that barely fits — suddenly there’s no room to move, never mind stretch out on a chair. But even the tiniest garden can feel like its own little haven if you plan with intention.

The goal isn’t to make the garden bigger. It’s to make it work harder.

Every corner is doing something, every inch supporting how you want to live, whether that’s morning coffee outdoors, a quiet chair in a sunny patch, or somewhere to relax at the end of the day.

The image of a nurse is often one of relentless motion: 12-hour shifts that stretch into 14, a blur of call bells, charting, and emotionally taxing patient care. For many, the concept of work-life balance feels like a distant, unattainable dream. Conventional wisdom might suggest that to gain more personal time, one must step back or scale down. However, for nurses, the path to a more balanced life is often counterintuitive.
