It was something that I wanted to do after following my friend’s amazing blog for a couple of years (and really I should say thanks for giving me a lot of advice!) but I did feel a bit nervous about starting – after all there are already so many blogs out there. To be honest I never expected to last the year, I thought it would be something that I enjoyed for a while and then after about 6-8 months it would peter out, I never excepted to love it so much, to constantly think of things that I could do, challenges to […]
