Blogger's block and baby brain...

I am having the hardest time trying to come up with some blog post ideas. It seems after the break I didn't expect to be taking, I'm finding it a whole ton harder getting back into it. Thing is, I've been missing it like crazy, same with vlogging and filming regular videos for my youtube channels. I just can't seem to think of anything other than baby stuff, and I don't want to bore you all with constant baby posts.

If you have any ideas, or anything you would like to see on WFF, please leave them in a comment below. I'm really racking my brain at the minute.
It's all mush.

Hi my lovelies!

Since I last posted, I haven't really had much time to myself and I feel like I'm now juggling so many things. 

I've begun to pack up our stuff and maybe a little silly of me, but I have also started daily vlogging. 

I wanted to be able to keep you all updated through this whole move process, but it's just dawned on me that we may be without the internet for a bit when we actually head down south. Doh! So I guess the vlogs will have to hiatus until will get sorted. Fingers crossed we can somehow make sure it gets turned on as we get there. 

Anywhoooo, I just wanted to check in and share the first couple of vlogs. 

Hopefully this weekend, I can actually sit down and get some proper posts written up. I'm going to try and write and film like a mad person, so there won't be a huge gap in posting whilst we move. If there is anything you would like to see, either on here, or over on YT, please let me know in the comments below. Also, if you've seen any new tags floating about, let me know about those too. I think they'll be great fillers for whilst I'm not about.

Apart from that and more box packing, all I have to look forward to is cleaning like a crazy person, freshly painting walls and laying some replacement carpet before we go. Fun. 

I hope you are all well!

Sam

Hello, my lovelies,

You may have noticed my absence for the past couple of days. I've pretty much been trying to clear out my entire life, and we also had an last minute visit from Liam's parents yesterday. 

I may be a little short of clothes I can wear, but my wardrobe is heaving with stuff that is far too small, ripped, stained, you name it. I guess you can call me a bit of a hoarder. I currently can't get onto my bed through stuff that is being chucked, donated or blog saled. (So keep your eyes peeled for that.)

Once I have cleared out everything I can think of, I'm planning on revamping our bedroom. Since we moved out of Liam's parents, we have never decorated our own room. It seems we have slept in a plain white box for almost two years now, and lets just say, it's not the most relaxing environment. 

I came across this photo on Tumblr the other day and I fell in love. Believe it or not, I've never had a pink room. It's always been purple for me. But, I am a girly girl and I still very much love pink. Obviously, I can't torture Liam to much and make him sleep in an entirely pink room, so the above colour palette is great as he's a bit fan of brown/neutral colours.

For the last few days, I've been working a little mood board to get my creative juices flowing and I figured I'd share it with you. 

I've decided to keep the pink soft and not as bold in the first photo, but I think it will work nicely. At the minute we have a white bed with white bedding, and oh my days, it's boring. It'll be nice to get some colour in there. 

Other than that, I'd just like a wall of photos in cute frames and lots of candles.

I think I'm going to be working on this slowly throughout the next few months and I will post an update when it's finished. Who knows, I may even do a room tour.

Do you guys know any good interior design blogs?

Hi my loves,
Just a little intro as to what this is all about.
You guys know I love to make videos, and I am now planning a lot more tutorials and such like.

A table? Nah, it's a vanity stool! coffee table | decorating | diy | house | ideas | moving house | office | painting | steps | vanity stool | whenflowersfall

Hey lovelies!

Seeing as I am in the process of moving house, I thought it was about time to finally start posting some house-y DIY projects. I absolutely cannot wait to get decorating the new place, and I'm finally going to have an office!! Ok, I have to share it with Liam, but we're planning on splitting the room in two so we can have our own style in each space. 

A few months ago I focused my time on transforming an old coffee table into my vanity stool. Whilst my mum had just made a desk for me out of the sides of an old wardrobe. What can I say, we make do with what we've got. 

If you ever want to give this a go yourselves, the steps are super simple!

- Make sure to sand down your table

-Use a paint in your own choice of colour, I used what I had left from painting the desk, and paint a couple of coats until you are happy with the results. 

-You can use either a separate cushion, or you could make your own padded seat. I used the wadding of an old pillow and an old pillow case. I just made sure to nail down the pillow case tightly to make sure the padding didn't slip around underneath. (You could also glue the padding to the top of your newly painted stool as an extra precaution.)

Did any of you guys notice the big cheeseball move I made by painting our initials on the top of the stool? Yeah, so now mine and Liams love will forever be under my toosh. 

Hopefully in the next few weeks, throughout the move, I can post a few more DIY projects to give you guys ideas of how to turn old stuff into new stuff. :)

Hope you are all having a good Tuesday!

Christmas is coming!!! candy | chocolates | christmas | dvd | gifts | ideas | leopard print | presents | ribbon | sweets | tshirt | wrapping | xmas

I don't know about you guys, but I am so unprepared for Christmas this year! I normally have all my presents chosen and bought by the end of November, but this year, thanks to the move and not being in a stable job since August, limited funds have stopped me from doing that.

For the past two years I have tried to be creative with the gifts I give, so here are my top ideas for people who want to be a little different. 

For the kiddies, keep and clean old jam jars, paint the lid and fill with sweets for your choice. You could even write a message on the jar in glass paints. 

Make your own chocolates. There are plenty of ideas and recipes on the internet to choose from. Once made, package them in a homemade box and decorate.

Get something printed. I do this almost every year. Companies like Vistaprint offer printing services for low prices. You can choose a design of your own choice and get it printed onto a variety of items. 

Make a hamper. This is an ideal present for someone who is difficult to buy for. You can fill it with inexpensive and homemade goodies, such as the persons favourite dvd, their favourite make-up, homemade choccies, bath goodies etc. Just package it in a cute box and tie with a ribbon. 

So what do you guys think? Do you have any personal gift ideas for Christmas this year?
