    It’s been a bit of a summer and I’ve been a bad blogger! In my defence it’s been a bit busy and somewhat hectic. Since the Walking Out of Darkness event in April I’ve been to Be:Fit London (which was amazing), had an uber meltdown at work, went on an emergency holiday for a week…

    I’m going to Walk Out of Darkness on 16th May 2015 in memory of Karla Mihok. If you’d like to donate and sponsor me (and the hubby, who is joining!) please click here. I’ve been wanting to write this since it happened, but it’s been difficult for me to pull my thoughts together until now,…

    Today marks 10 years since I left the US to live in the UK. A whole decade. Just under a third of my life. Incredible. I’ve been thinking about it a lot, what the last 10 years has been for me, and I’m still undecided. The problem is that it’s been so many things. I…

    Getting from there to here… (I have to apologise, we have been watching Star Trek: Enterprise and I always have the song stuck in my head! Fitting though…) Anywho! We’re in!!!! We got the keys, as planned, on 27th March 2015. We’ve spent nearly every day since then (about a week and a half now)…

    With so much waiting on our house to be done and my current mood I don’t have many good (happy) ideas to write about right now. With the (hopeful) move date fast approaching we are attempting to plan for the move. So this weekend will be back to packing… all the stuff we don’t need/haven’t…

    It’s such a generic phase, “one of those days”.  It could mean *anything*. When you use it in conversation, it’s usually interpreted by others around you by your mood and/or recent events. Everyone seems to be having “one of those days” lately. Either way my days this week so far have been filled with a…

    I keep meaning to write about stuff I get up to… then I remember, I don’t do much! During the week it’s pretty much work-eat-sleep, repeat and the weekends we rest and chill out. Soon we’ll be packing again so rest and chill out time is key. On rare occasions we do have fun plans…

    This may be hard to believe… I rarely buy makeup! I have so much that I don’t need to top up or buy new stuff very often at all. I think the last time I bought some was last year, for an event I had to attend. So it was time for me to buy…
