I read a lot of historical fiction but I can’t resist a self-help manual too. Over the Summer I enjoyed reading The Organised Mum Method by Gemma Bray. The Organised Mum Method is a structured, manageable and ultra-efficient cleaning routine that ensures all areas of the home are taken care of. It’s easy to follow,…
I managed to read a good few books during the Summer holidays. I love to read and whenever the kids were occupied I pulled out my kindle to read a few pages of my latest book. I was so excited when NetGalley gave me the chance to review The Confession by Jessie Burton. I really…
It is well and truly Autumn here in the UK. It’s my favourite time of year and I love watching the leaves on the trees change colour. I’ve lost count of the number of ‘treasures’ my daughter keeps presenting me with every time we leave the house. She’s as drawn to conkers and acorns as…
My youngest just loves horses. She went on her first horse ride last year with Beavers and absolutely loved it.

I’ve read a lot of books this year, I totally blame this on signing up to a Goodreads challenge to read 12 books at the start of the year. I smashed my book target within a few weeks which I couldn’t be happier about. I’ve always loved reading and and it’s one of my favourite…
