I have days when … Continue reading What’s keeping you going?

Spending time with a twiglet and a Joey. Having many many delicious breakfasts. Being productive. Doing something I'm really proud of. Geordie Gifts. … Continue reading Half term wins
Hello! I've decided that I'm going to make Monday a "me" post day. By that I don't mean I'm going to be posting all about me... but it's not necessarily going to be a bookish day: it might be about school, about my life, about my MH: it'll be something personal, not necessarily bookish. It … Continue reading Monday = Me day
The start of a new decade is a funny thing. We all know I'm a proper sentamentalist and I'm an emotional person. Seeing everyone's posts about 2010 vs 2020 made me think about all of the things that happened to me from 2010-2019. I went into it thinking "I've not really achieved/done a lot in … Continue reading A decade in the life of me…

Sorting and getting rid of things that are not necessary. Getting loads of books ready for September. HAVING A SCHOOL LIBRARY IN A ROOM. Clearing … Continue reading Start each day with a grateful heart

Happy Monday! Despite the fact I'm back to work today (we only had one week for Easter holidays), I thought I'd post one of my favourite posts: a happy post! I'm going to list all of my happy things from half term! Reading every single day. Sleeping in until I wanted to wake up. Having … Continue reading Half term happy post
Last week was a tough one. I'm not going to lie. It wasn't BAD particularly. I was just exhausted. I've been on the go for a while now with no weekends off in the middle. It was a long work week too. I'm super grateful that I get all these amazing opportunities, but they take … Continue reading Let’s get real for a minute…
