Looking Back, Looking Forward: 2019 Edition

Another year is gone. This one to end a decade. Apparently I'm ten years older than I was last time this happened. I'm not sure about that last fact but whatever. This year has been a very WILD ride. It has some massive ups and some crash and burn lows but I'm still here. In… Continue reading Looking Back, Looking Forward: 2019 Edition

Memo Pad: December Wrap Up

Somebody make time stop, please? This year has gone so fast but I guess at least I'm ending it with some good news: I completed my reading goal! I know I've talked about this a lot if you've been reading my blog but I honestly didn't think I would ever read 100 books in a… Continue reading Memo Pad: December Wrap Up

Memo Pad: November Wrap Up

Another month down and it's nearly the end of the year. It feels so strange to say that when it's still sunny outside here. I can't actually believe I'm ending 2019 having moved to my dream home. But we're  at the end of the year yet so back to this month. I didn't officially take… Continue reading Memo Pad: November Wrap Up

Memo Pad: September Wrap-up

I can't believe there's only three months of the year left. I also can't believe that I actually haven't fallen behind on my reading goal yet! But, first things first, I've updated this here blog a little. I was Ever The Crafter but I felt that after however many years - and the natural evolving… Continue reading Memo Pad: September Wrap-up

Memo Pad: August Wrap up

I MOVED. Okay so I mentioned that briefly in the last post but it's been a wild ride. We left the UK behind on the 21st of August and the last three weeks have been BUSY. So much paperwork and hoops to jump through to try to get everything sorted. We are only about half… Continue reading Memo Pad: August Wrap up

Memo Pad: June Wrap Up

June left. A while ago. Life has been super hectic (I was going to say here but I don't really have a here right now!) we packed up and moved out of the house I've lived in my whole life. (Bye London!). Moved in temporally with my aunt. Visited the place we are going to… Continue reading Memo Pad: June Wrap Up

Memo Pad: March Wrap Up

I'm late with my monthly wrap up. Oops. It's April already. Luckily I am currently still a European citizen so things could have gone worse (although there's still time!). I read a lot of books in March which is the main reason this post is late. While I haven't found it difficult to fit reading… Continue reading Memo Pad: March Wrap Up

New Year, Same Me

I kind of hate resolutions. Especially the ones that say to do something different. New year new you. Those never work for me but I do like seeing goals. Things I want to achieve which are normally a continuation of what I'm already doing. I guess my biggest struggle is to keep doing things not start (anyone who knows me know I start too many things!!). And goals help to keep me motivated and not give in.

Memo Pad: October Book Wrap Up

Phew. It's been such a busy month for me! And I cannot believe it's almost Christmas already. I am not prepared. Somebody press pause, please! Probably the biggest thing that happened this month is that I got diagnosed as autistic. I've discovered so much out about myself and I still am finding and figuring out… Continue reading Memo Pad: October Book Wrap Up
