Happy first of the month! Who else can’t believe that we’re already very close to being halfway through 2019? The year seems to fly by now I’m older, I’m sure when I was younger the countdown to the summer holiday’s or Christmas felt like they went on forever but now I’m wishing for time to slow down. The month of June so far is pretty quiet for me which is something I’m looking forward to as it means getting back in the swing of things at home, Edie is also getting spayed this month so that will mean a lot of time downstairs with her so she doesn’t have to tackle the stairs. Anyway, here is this weekends read, watch and listen list for you to scroll through this hopefully sunny Saturday morning.

Fitness and going to the gym used to be a very large part of my life but once Josie came bouncing to my life and then Edie followed less than a year later it didn’t leave me much time to myself. But last month I rejoined the gym and in a lot of ways, I feel like a beginner again, even though I’d been a regular for years. So if like me you’re starting your fitness journey from the beginning here are best tips and everything I’m trying to remind myself of at the moment.

Whether you’re a blogger, Instagrammer or YouTuber there are a few things that we can all relate to. And these are things (well, almost all) that I look at really fondly because ultimately they unite us all together despite how hilarious they might look to the outside world.

Do you know those little things that you always mean to do but never get round to actually doing? For me, that's getting my photographs printed because I have thousands on my iPhone and hundreds of thousands on my computer and even though they’re backed up. Technology can always fail us, social media platforms can be shut down and if I ever lost all my photographs I’d be devastated. So getting the opportunity to make my own photo books seemed like the perfect chance to finally get some of my most loved images all in one place. I also created one for the dogs to have a place for some of their puppy photographs and that is such a joy to flick through.

Running your own business is always a subject of interest online, typically how wonderful it is. And it is incredible, having the opportunity to work on my own terms and have no limit on my income is something that I feel grateful for every single day. But, just like any job, there are some serious downsides but as being your own boss and being a #girlboss is so often seen as the dream I thought I’d share some of the issues I face daily that I wish I saw spoken about more online.

I love to sleep, I also love talking about sleep and at the moment the conversation revolves around not getting enough of the good stuff. I track my sleep using my FitBit Alta and I’ve not been getting more than 6 hours for weeks, and let me tell you, I do not cope well with so little sleep nor do I think anyone does. In reality, there is absolutely no reason why I shouldn’t be getting 7-8 hours so this is how I’m currently trying to make sure I get a really good nights sleep.
