Hello! It’s been a while hasn’t it? So much has happened since I last posted here on my blog, and things may be looking a little different, so I wanted to bring you up to speed and also chat about the year ahead!
First things first, if you follow me over on Twitter or Instagram, you may know that my blog completely disappeared last week. To cut a long story short, the company that I paid to host this blog have disappeared off the face of the earth with no prior warning, and so did every site they hosted, and anything saved on their servers. Cue a LOT of panic from myself and plenty of other bloggers out there.
Luckily the brilliant Lyrical Host came to my rescue and managed to salvage a lot of my site. However a lot was lost, including hundreds (if not thousands) of photos, all of the comments my readers have left over the past 10 years, and a lot of SEO work I’d done on my posts. The URLs for each post were all wrong, as were all the dates, so what had been saved was showing in the complete wrong order!
I’ve spent the past week fixing what I can and re-uploading photos, but with a heavy heart I’ve archived almost 1,500 posts as there was just too much work to do. So I’m taking this as an opportunity for a fresh start! Out with the old and in with the new. As it stands there are less than 100 posts here now, and it actually feels refreshing. I’ve wiped the slate clean and have seen this as a kick up the bum to actually share content now that I have the time to do so! Which leads me on to the next thing…
We’ve got a beautiful, sweet, happy (most of the time) baby boy named Oscar. He was born at the end of October and has taken up pretty much every minute of my life since! As we approach the 3 month mark though we’re getting to the point where I have a little more time to myself. He’s starting to sleep longer, and will happily play on his play mat without a care in the world. That means I’ve a bit more time to turn my attention to this here blog and do something for myself. I’ll share more about him with you soon, including my birth story!

I’m currently on maternity leave until August, so will try and put the time aside to produce more content. I’ve got a list of post ideas that I’d love to produce and I’m looking forward to posting properly again. Obviously we’re currently in a lockdown, and when that’s lifted we’ll no doubt still be in tier 3 or 4, so I’m obviously limited with what I can do. Things probably won’t be like they were before – expect a lot of indoor shoots!
Checked Shacket – Zara
Zebra Print T Shirt – ASOS
Joggers – Topshop
So you’ll be seeing a lot more of me over the coming months! I’ve got a lot of content planned already. Posts showing you ‘5 ways to wear’ certain items (My Instagram followers will remember these from my feed last year!), a peek inside some of the rooms in our house, book reviews, snippets of motherhood and plenty more. If there’s anything you’d like to see then please let me know!
Thanks for sticking around up until now and thank you for the messages when I was freaking out last week! it’s so lovely to know that people read what I post and genuinely care. I really hope you all had a peaceful and happy Christmas and a positive start to the year. Let’s hope for a little more normality in 2021!
