We are more than half way through the year and looking back it's been a tough year but it's also been full of exciting family adventures and I'm grateful that we're in a position to be able to enjoy our weekends as a family and spend time together.

G is for GREEN This weekend we had the pleasure of staying at a lovely Warwickshire hotel (for a blog review coming up soon) and we were lucky enough to have a door onto the lovely green grass lawn outside.

Making do and saving up.. Our kitchen story
When we first moved into our home, we didn't have a lot of money. I was in my final year at University living in Preston and my then boyfriend (now hubby) was going into his second year of teaching.
