The grass is certainly longer and more established The grass is certainly longer and more established since this snap from early January. 🌿 Despite Rhodie being a little naughty and pulling a few chunks of lawn up in first few weeks, the lawn is going well. 
But as sunshine starts to appear, our next project is fast approaching - our garden! I have some high hopes for our long garden plot, including a larger patio and some much needed privacy. I didn’t think I would be, but I’m rather excited to get green fingered, and hopefully create a inviting outdoor space 🌿 Any advice for our rather daunting blank canvas? I’d love to hear any ideas!

It’s something we completely underestimated, but we managed to find someone to undertake the work and we can see the light on our current mess that is upstairs! 
Yes, I thought he was coming on Friday, and yes he did get a fright when I opened the door yesterday morning in my dressing gown, but hey ho, it’s done and I didn’t know I could be so bloody excited for some plywood in a loft!

Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our loun Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our lounge? Dunno why but my colour transformation reel isn’t showing on my grid, but it’s still kicking my around. To say I’m in love with our new colour would be a understatement. Being a bit braver in our new home is coming together, just a few finishing touches to go! 
👈🏼 Swipe left to see the bland before!

Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and s Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and steady one. We found snow on our Saturday afternoon walk! And polar bear Rhodie LOVED IT 🐶 Sunday was a slow one too, with a mid morning walk, sweet treats and even some painting! Both me and my husband have the week off, and since the splash of colour yesterday afternoon, we seem a little more eager to get more colour in our home, pronto!

How was your weekend? What did you get up to?

Just a little snap shot from our bedroom ✨I can’t show much else in all honesty, since we still have clutter in boxes, and a tv currently living on a ladder step 🙈 But hey, my perfume collection looks just perfect for now!

It’s Saturday and the usual weekly shop is the only thing on the agenda. Maybe a quick pop to get some paint too? We both have a week off and whilst we will mainly be doing sweet F-all, we may just do some decorating!

ITS FRIDAY THEN,  it’s Saturday, Sunday WHAT?!🐶 Getting our mud pit turfed was the best decision yet. Although he can’t run the entire length just yet, he often spends a lot of time just sitting on the grass and enjoying the breeze! 
God, I love him! 🥰🐶Question is, will we finally peak out here and see snow this weekend?

Throwback Travel | Hawaii

It suddenly occurred to me just the other day, that whilst I haven’t managed to travel as much as one would like, purely because money doesn’t grow on tress (sigh), and some muppet proposed to me and now a wedding is sapping every penny it can, I can still impart some wisdom on some cracking places I have been able to visit before!!

And where better to start that Hawaii!!

Not many people are lucky enough to say they have experienced the delights Hawaii has to offer, but fortunately for me, I have on a family trip back in 2010!

Seven years may have passed (bloody hell, was it that long ago!), but it still remains one of the best places I have managed to visit!!

Here’s a little insight to the islands of Paradise!



What island did we stay on? 
We went to the island of Oahu, simply because it had so much on the island we wanted to see, do and experience. There are many islands in Hawaii to visit, with some being more commerical than others. Depending what you are looking for in your trip depends on the Island you should visit. All be it, travel around the islands and experience all Hawaii has to offer!



Where did we stay? 
We really wanted to have our own place as a family. As much as the Hawaiian hotels are stunning, we really wanted to have our own space, pool if possible, and ability to come and go when we liked. We also loved the idea of eating out or making our own dinner too.

We stayed in  Ko Olina Villa rentals, which is a complex of villas which we privately hired for the 10 days we were in Hawaii. We had our own hot tub, and we were just a short walk from the communal pool. The complex also had it’s own private access to a secluded beach.

What did we do? 
As I said, we managed to pack so much into our 10 days in Oahu. There is so much to see and do including Pearl Harbour and Waikiki Beach. The real stand out attractions for me were:


Pearl Harbour
We all know the atrocities that was Pearl Harbour. So it’s pretty surreal to be around the bay that brought America and Japan into war. Learn the real truth behind the Pearl Harbour attacks, and venture on various ships and submarines. It’s a very humbling experience, learning and experiencing what is still left of the attacks on Pearl Harbour.




Waikiki Beach 
Can you even go to Hawaii without going to Waikiki beach? NO!! We went to the infamous beach a couple of times and even managed to see a surfing contest! It’s not a large beach and there are many ‘nicer’ beaches, but you really can’t beat the atmosphere and what surrounds Waikiki! A must for any trip to Hawaii!

Kualoa Ranch
This isn’t somewhere than stands out as a must see attraction to many when they think of Hawaii, but it should be! Experience the film locations for blockbuster movies including Jurassic Park, 50 first dates and more!
Not only do you get to experience the locations, but the stunning scenery that is the ranch! A day at Kualoa ranch is not to be missed!!

This holiday was and still remains one of the best yet! It gives you everything you want from a Island beach retreat, as well as plenty to do and see when you’ve grown tired of the sand!

**Top Tip – I would highly recommend hiring your own car in Hawaii. There is so much to be said for exploring at your own leisure. We thoroughly enjoyed making our own way round the island and just taking in the breath-taking scenery and lush landscape.

Have you ever been to Hawaii? 

Fancy a trip there one day?
