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!

Training for The Three Peaks – Month Three

Posted on July 7, 2025August 8, 2025 by Emma Reed

I’m not sure where that last month went, but it absolutely flew by, and that means I am a little late in writing you a training update. If you’re new here, I am going to attempt to climb The Three Peaks – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon – at the end of July with a small team of friends and within 24 hours to raise money for Men’s Mental Health. Me and my sister have chosen to do this after our Dad went through an incredibly difficult time, hitting rock bottom and seeing no way out. With the help and support of family, friends and the amazing team in a local psychiatric hospital, he was thankfully able to come through that bleak time and see a future for himself. We thought this would be a fantastic way of celebrating how far he has come, whilst giving back to those who helped him so they can continue to help others. You can read our full story over on our donation page here.
