What does someone aspiring to live a free, simple and at-every-minute-fun life take with them on the USA trip of a lifetime? With 25.5 hours travelling, here is what I'm packing my brain with...

In this post I share with you my Kitchen Diner mood board, tips to create yours (in 10 minutes flat!) and a clever way to project manage your decorating. 

There are rare occasions I get to talk about Mama McGee on my blog, so with Mothering Sunday coming up, this is my chance :)

Today I cross the 25 hurdle and now I'm closer to 30 than I am 20. No more "early 20s" – it feels a bit too grown up for my liking! Here are some reflections on my 25th year...

After all the mess and stress of our first stage of house renovations, I treated Neil to a nostalgic weekend break in his homeland, Dorset. 

We had a new addition to No. 42 the other week and I am in adoration of it. Come see...

Hello! I've been meaning to get this post up for months but I decided I wanted to share it shortly before the renovation starts (hopefully on schedule to kick off in late April) so it won't be so much of a wait on progress shots.

A farmers market, an interior class and filling the house with Christmas cheer

This week... a Gumtree home bargain, a trip to a very christmassy place in Sussex and a very bad paint job. Boo. 

Just before the autumn leaves disappear and the winter sets in, Neil and I managed to squeeze in our annual autumn photoshoot :)

A little update on our living room renovation :)
