As this book suggests, it is for readers of all ages. I’m 51 and I thoroughly enjoyed it; however, it could easily be read to children. I’d absolutely be reading this to my girls at bedtime if they weren’t teenagers now. Might even suggest it this week and see if they are up for it … Continue reading
On New Year’s Day 2020, I decided to start a challenge on my other blog to declutter or introduce a mini system around the house every day in order to reduce the amount of stuff and provide more clear space. Yesterday whilst I was writing my thirteenth post, I thought about how happy I was … Continue reading
I haven’t sat at the computer and just typed for quite a while. I don’t know why this is, because I’ve had loads to write about as I’ve been studying many personal development books on the topics of parenting, clutter and time management and I have enough material but haven’t felt inspired enough to write a … Continue reading
I used to post daily on this blog until my writing challenge ended on 30 April this year. I then promised to post regularly but have only managed four posts since then, with the last one being almost two months ago (and have only managed a couple of posts on some of my other blogs).

I’m a fighter and didn’t want to miss a day! What I have come … Continue reading

If you set the goal, you can change the following things about it: Where the new goal post is e.g. change it … Continue reading
Being Easter Monday and the last day of my week off, I wanted to have a bit of a lazy morning, so I got up late and then watched the TV – two things I rarely do. I really enjoyed it, plus it got rid of my headache. I then read a blog titled ‘Amaze … Continue reading
Everyone seems to be writing about ‘writing time’ at the moment, whether it’s having too much or not enough. Two examples I’ve read today are Give the pen to a busy person by Jamie Raintree and ‘Too much time on my hands by Vikki (The View Outside). Jamie gets so much more done when she … Continue reading
A writer friend and I were discussing how we squeeze writing into our busy lives. She has recently learnt to do 20 minute short bursts of writing and although she was dubious of this method at first, it is working really well for her. I told her that I’m more of a 30 minute writer as this (quite by … Continue reading
