Finding the words to start this blog post aren’t coming easily. I’ve stared at a blank screen for at least 5 minutes (quite unlike me). Before I start I should probably put out a bit of a disclaimer to manage your expectations. This isn’t your typical heart-warming, oxytocin-filled birth story. It is a story of trauma, fear and heart-break in… View Post
Social media gets a bad rep these days. People say that Instagram is responsible for creating unrealistic ideals and false versions of reality. They say that it can lower self-esteem and make people feel inadequate. I would have to agree with this, but I feel a little guilty for doing so. As a blogger, I’ll hold my hands up and… View Post
There are two simple things I want to say in this blog post; Hello and thank you. Hello you wonderful readers and followers of my blog, who I basically deserted back in October. Hello to all the brands and PRs who still may not have a clue where I’d gone. Hello to the new followers and amazing people who I… View Post
Those of you who follow me on social media may have noticed I’ve been unusually quiet for the past few weeks. I am glad to finally share the reason why. On 30th October 2018 at 7.18am, I gave birth to our beautiful baby boy. His name is Theodore William Hamilton, and we’re calling him Theo for short. I thought that… View Post
I don’t know about you, but I always get a little excited for Black Friday. Maybe it’s the Northerner in me, but I love bagging a bargain and for the past couple of years I’ve waited patiently until 23rd November with my shopping list in tow. As a Travel Blogger, it’s becoming even more exciting now that travel booking sites… View Post
Our babymoon in Dubrovnik was very special for a number of reasons. It was to be our final overseas holiday as a couple before our baby boy arrives in February. It was also an independent trip organised completely by me, as a surprise for Scott’s 30th Birthday. Whether you like or loathe the term, we decided to count this trip… View Post
Hey guys. Thanks for coming to check out my second pregnancy diary post. If you haven’t already, be sure to read my 14-19 weeks pregnancy diary, which was the starting point of my pregnancy blogs. So what’s new? It feels like this second trimester is absolutely flying by, and has been so much more enjoyable compared to the first. A… View Post
I recently enjoyed a week of fun in the sun at Orlando’s Universal Studios Resort, retracing my childhood steps and exploring all 3 of Universal’s parks. My flights and hotel were booked through TUI, who are specialists in holidays to Florida. Our base for the week was the luxurious Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, which is one of 7 official Universal Orlando… View Post
Last month I visited Orlando in Florida, as part of an exciting partnership with the world’s biggest travel group, TUI . It’s a place I haven’t visited since I was about 11 years old, and although my childhood memories are a little fuzzy, I am fairly confident in saying the Universal Orlando Resort has changed substantially since my last visit. So much… View Post
What do you travel for? Is it for escapism and relaxation, to see new cultures, or to push yourself beyond your comfort zone? I love travelling for all of these reasons, but looking back, the travel moments that stick vividly in my mind are the ones that involve a bit of adrenaline. These are the moments that will remain as… View Post
