December Wrap Up: Reading, Watching, Listening and Life
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all my readers! I’d like to say a big farewell to 2022 and hello to 2023! Even though it’s just another day, the New Year coupled with the time off over Christmas always seems like it holds so much possibility – and I don’t just mean for […]

2022 – Year in Review
Did 2022 kinda suck for me? Yeah, I would say it did. Besides bringing the twinnies into the world, not much else went to plan. I had a hospital stay after my twins were born, my oldest daughter had a seizure and an unfortunate diagnosis and we had an issue with our neighbour that affected […]

My Top 10 Favourite Books of 2022
If it wasn’t for Goodreads, Instagram and my blog, I wouldn’t be able to keep track of all the books I’ve read in 2022 – and I’m not even a big reader compared to the Bookstagrammers I follow. This year, with the exception of the books that I plan to get through this month and […]

A Fake Proposal, Two Dogs and Light Up Golf; A 2022 Writing Wrap Up
In 2022, I had big hopes of finishing off at least one of my manuscripts. In a perfect world, I would have liked to finish the three drafts that are waiting for some editing love. In reality, I was barely able to finish one. In fact, as I’m writing this, I’m taking a break from […]

November Wrap Up: Reading, Listening, Watching and Life
Reading It’s official. November is the first month where I have finished zero books. None. A goose egg of reading. And it’s not because I was busy writing 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo or even editing my debut novel. It was just days of settling back into work, looking after my kids and cleaning up the […]

October Wrap Up: Reading, Watching, Listening and Life
Reading You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle Following on from last month, this month’s reread is You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle. I thought this was such a unique enemies-to-lovers concept, and while both parties are extremely childish on many occasions, the banter and build up is perfection. You’ll love this if: you’ve […]

September Wrap Up: Reading, Listening, Watching and Life
Reading Falling For Your Fake Fiancé by Emma St. Clair This is the book that has started my Emma St. Clair binge this month. I’d only read one of her novellas and I liked it well enough, but when I saw this book for free, I snapped it up because who doesn’t love a fake […]

August Wrap Up: Reading, Listening, Watching and Life
Books Mad About You by Mhairi McFarlane Mhairi McFarlane is one of my favourite authors. In fact, I think she is my number one favourite author. I love the way she writes a story and creates characters and has me totally sucked in from the first chapter. Mad About You delves into some deeper issues […]

July Wrap Up: Reading, Listening, Watching and Life
Reading In A New York Minute by Kate Spencer In a New York Minute was a quick and charming read. While the timeline was something I had to work on keeping up with and the writing style wasn’t what I usually choose, this book was sweet and enjoyable. You’ll love this if: you love romcoms […]

The Honest Twin Diaries: Leaving the House is Exhausting
When I was a childless woman, leaving the house was never much to think about. I’d grab my keys, wallet and phone and be out the door to wherever I needed to go and back whenever I pleased. I didn’t need a bag or to think ahead or to plan anything, if I didn’t want […]
