    Eight travel photos of happiness

    ByClaire Hall 6 November 201517 November 2022

    A little while ago the lovely Ting from My Travel Monkey tagged me in eight travel photos of happiness. It’s a great meme that gives me the chance to share a small collection of the many happy moments from our adventures. It was hard work choosing just eight photos that bring me joy every time I…

    Keeping pets calm on bonfire night

    ByClaire Hall 30 October 201517 November 2022

    Tin Box Dog is a bit of a wuss when it comes to loud noises and bangs. It’s a bit ironic considering she’s a Gun Dog, but she’s not alone. Pets can find firework season really distressing, especially as the period during which rockets are set off seems to get longer every year. As a…

    Making the most of family time

    ByClaire Hall 26 October 201517 November 2022

    I’m not very good at doing nothing. I like to fill my days with meaningful tasks so by bedtime I have a sense of achievement. This usually involves dashing about the house, going out to meet friends or taking the kids out to play.  On the odd occasion I do sit down I’ll have some…

    Things I learnt about myself at Blogcamp

    ByClaire Hall 18 October 201517 November 2022

    I attended my first blogging event last week. It was one of the smaller ones, so an ideal place to dip my toes into the physical side of my online world. I’ve got a few more coming up in the next year and now can’t wait. Blogcamp was run by the friendly folks at Tots100 and…

    My top blogging events for 2015/16

    ByClaire Hall 2 October 201517 November 2022

    I’ve been blogging for nearly three years now but due to a combination of being very pregnant or having a small child in arms I’m am yet to get to any blogging events. This is something I’ve wanted to change and in the past week you might say I’ve been a bit over keen to rectify…

    Is the postcard dead?

    ByClaire Hall 21 September 201517 November 2022

    How many postcards did you receive this summer? We got one…a month after the senders had returned home! This made me wonder whether there’s still a place for the humble postcard? When I was a child I loved looking through boxes of old cards saved by my grandparents. They had mostly been sent by my dad…
