Kawaii Box is a monthly subscription so you can easily subscribe for 1 month, 6 months or 12 months. I often chat about my subscription boxes here as I love to receive a monthly treat in the post. It seems my children love subscription boxes too and it’s easy…

    We’ve recently been thinking about moving house. We’ve been looking online and viewed a few properties but decided that we’re going to stay where we are for now. Instead we will be spending the winter doing a few jobs which we’ve put off. These include getting the drive done, building a fitted wardrobe in our bedroom and generally having a big old de-clutter. We had new flooring put in our living room a few months ago and it completely changed the look of the room. It’s a lovely room with big windows at each end. We had to empty the…
