At the moment, I'm a full-time working mum with some (thankfully mild) long term health management and I want what I write to reflect that ... not cover it up because work and kids are just too mainstream darling, and health, well what a downer. I'm still up to the same stuff - but with some new things too, on less sleep and time. So my posts are going to be a little shorter, with perhaps fewer nights out reviewed and a few more daytime things. Don't worry though: I'm not a twee Pinterest Mummy by a long shot, and have no intention of becoming so. I only went for the generic white-and-pastel scheme because it's easier to format. Kitsch, retro and bargains will still be the backbone of the blog - and health/family content will be clearly labelled if all you want is the fun stuff (frankly, right now on two hours sleep, I wouldn't blame you).
So what can you expect from the blog? Well here is a list of my initial ideas. I wrote them down in a notebook and everything (a Poundland note book, of course):
1. Bargain Hauls (but of course);
2. Vintage or second-hand item of the week with ideas for styling;
3. Trends I love this month;
4. Retro and heritage recipes;
5. Family snapshot of the month- something we've been up to which others might enjoy;
6. Social Media inspiration of the month - great follows on Instagram or Pinterest (they won't be Insta-perfect, I promise!);
7. Books or blogs I love;
8. Outfit posts (see how far down it is nowadays!);
9. Out and about reviews - weekends or days out;
10. DIYs and tips.
...well, those are my initial ideas! Now I need you to help. What would you like me to include? What are your favourite quick and simple blog post ideas? Hit me! (Not literally, I would fall down. Two hours sleep innit).
I'd love to offer ideas, but I struggle with that one myself! I like seeing what others have that's new (or new to them) though, although that isn't something I do often myself. I live in a beautiful part of the country, but charity shops here are picked dry, by the vintage shops, I'm sure xxx
