Top Fives of 2020!

Well, I think we can all agree that 2020 was not the year we were all expecting it to be! But that being said, the year definitely wasn’t a write-off either. I’ve been really lucky in that I got through 2020 with my health, my family’s health and a secure job. I couldn’t be more […]

When I was younger, it was my biggest wish to have a dog. But the closest I ever got to having my own pet was when my parents bought me a gold fish for my birthday 😅 (oh and it died at my actual birthday party as an overexcited 5 year old took it out […]
