Welcoming our new kitten home

If you’ve been following the blog or our social media, you’ll know that we lost our beautiful cat Cassie at the end of August. When we adopted her, she was at the tail-end of being a kitten as she was 1 year old. Unfortunately, she had FIV. As such, we made sure that we took her to the vets regularly and were careful with her diet in a bid to give her the longest life possible. When we found out that she needed to be put down, we gave her the best last couple of days that we could. I still feel so sad and miss her so much, however, recently we felt ready to adopt again. A popular opinion is that the best way to honour your rescue pet’s memory is to adopt another when you’re ready. I’m inclined to agree, so back we went to Cats Protection “just for a little look” to see if we really did feel ready mid-September.

What Should Every Wedding Have?

Collaborative Post¦ There’s nothing better than planning a wedding, although it is, of course, stressful. Indeed, there’s been a surge in ‘Bridezilla’ stories in recent years; they’re the brides who begin to act unreasonably because they want every inch of their wedding to be perfect.

Weddings only need to have a few simple ingredients in order to be successful. Below, we take a look at a few things that every wedding should have. If you have these, then you’ll be on your way to a great day!

Our honeymoon and babymoon in Pembrokeshire

I’m so excited to have been invited to visit Bluestone for a midweek break this week! Let’s face it, babies are expensive and statutory maternity pay (SMP) isn’t much. As such, there’s been no way of affording a holiday this year. I thought the closest we were going to get was our three weekends away earlier in the year. In May we went to Birmingham to visit This Morning Live and The Baby Show at the NEC Arena. At the beginning of July, we headed up to Nottingham for me to attend Download Festival (I won tickets!) Then at the end of September we went to Manchester for BlogOn.

It was only the beginning of last week that I was looking longingly at photographs I’d taken of Pembrokeshire the last two years and reminiscing. I’m so excited that I’m able to go back this year! I thought I’d write a post about my visits in 2015 for Dave and I’s honeymoon and our first anniversary holiday/babymoon last year.  We’ve visited many of the best attractions and places for tourists to visit in Pembrokeshire.
