Instagram post 2224127960222679216_41401028 At last...a crispy, frosty morning ❄️. Another one of my winter loves. #101thingsthatmakemesmile #littleloves #coldandfrostymorning #wintervibes #lightseeker
Instagram post 2216871815745422003_41401028 One of the things I love about winter (let’s face it, there aren’t many) is the opportunity to wear snuggly clothes. Today I couldn’t wait to put on my new fluffy coat from @newlook (yesterday’s sale bargain) and was sweating within minutes 🤣🥵. Jumper: @hushhomewear (old) Trousers: @marksandspencerfashionpr (last season) Coat: @newlook (current) #wednesdaywardrobe #whatweworeonwednesday #mumstyle #over40style #40plusstyle #40plusfashion #over40andfabulous #midlifefashiontips
Instagram post 2210976494494515250_41401028 So this is it. My most popular nine photos on Instagram this year. Nothing earth shattering but a little bit of fun here and there - a pretty accurate description of my life! I’ve fallen in and out of love with Instagram so many times this year but in the latter quarter, I’ve realised that it’s just somewhere to give people a tiny glimpse of who I am and share some moments/things that have made me smile. No more, no less. If you’re not a blogger, you won’t even understand why it would ever be more than that but trust me, it’s easy to get sucked in. We are all just ordinary people doing our own extraordinary things that make us who we are. It’s all about perspective. I’m aiming to take that into 2020. #bestnine2019 #topnine2019 #familylife #3thingstoday #myyearofgratitude2016
Instagram post 2210248530513443153_41401028 From ‘me and them’ to ‘me and him’. How things change in a decade, hey? I don’t know what 2020 will bring but I do know that things will change. I also know that we will be okay. Love my family ❤️
Instagram post 2202378637952762682_41401028 Christmas isn’t always a ‘magical’ time. For some it can bring up painful memories and sadness. It can often make a hard situation feel infinitely harder as everyone else appears to be having so much fun. I want to remind us all of two things: 1) Social media only shares a very small snapshot of the ‘good times’ in everyone’s lives. If the ‘magic’ isn’t there for you this year, you’re not alone. 2) Everyone’s ‘magic’ is different so if yours is more about eating chocolate and snuggling up in front of the fire, than singing Christmas songs and putting on your best sparkly dress for the party, that’s okay. Find what kind of ‘magic’ works for you and embrace it. #youdoyou #christmasmagic #festivespirit #christmas2019 #littleloves
