Look Back on Posts from 2022
It is hard to believe we are already at the end of 2022, there are just a few more days left until the new year comes around.
I hope you have made some happy memories during the year and 2023 will bring you some beautiful times ahead.
With a few days until the end of the year, I thought I would share 4 random posts from the past year that you might have missed. Alongside a competition to win a bottle of perfume.
Alrewas Alpacas at 4getmenott Smallholding

Alrewas Alpacas at 4getmenott Smallholding really has a special place in my heart, so it was only right I included them in this roundup.
Run by a lovely couple who adore their animals, most of whom are rescues, they offer a range of activities from alpaca and goat walking to overnight wild camping. You can even sponsor one of their animals and get updates on your favourite.
If you are local, happen to be passing by, or fancy a spot of wild camping I would strongly suggest checking them out.
Solid Oak Sideboard Review

Ever since we moved into the bungalow we had an old set of drawers in the lounge just to offer some extra storage. However, this year we were able to swap it out for the Oak Furnitureland Original Rustic Solid Oak Sideboard.
It was a pleasure to be able to review this sideboard, it really has offered up better storage space and looks so much nicer as well.
If you are looking for a new sideboard this solid oak offering is well-made and worth checking out.
Loadofolbobbins Sparrow Earrings

I often wonder if anyone would like a post about companies I’ve rebought from after reviewing. It happens with a lot of companies, for instance, I’ve already bought two more pairs of PJs which I included in my gift guide and FreshWipes are a monthly buy too.
I particularly love coming across new small businesses and LoadofolBobbins now has a special place in my home. Even for Christmas, I got one of their Fred Christmas lights.
They do a wonderful range of items both in textiles and print. Though I have to say the Coosplay range is probably my favourite.
Vendula Smoothies Pugnapple Backpack

I might have only posted my Vendula Smoothies Pugnapple Backpack review recently but I really wanted to include it. This got me thinking outside the box about how I could use a normal backpack with a chair – something I hadn’t really considered before.
What’s more the company offers a huge range of fantastic bags of all shapes and sizes, alongside other accessories which are perfect for anyone who likes something different. Their upcoming S/S23 range is SO cute as well.
So there you have 4 posts from 2023 which I loved writing and reviewing. I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me, read my blog and followed me on this journey. Here’s to 2023.

My holiday in Tenerife was a great memory in 2022. 2023 will see disappearance of a very big fat tummy {on me}
I’m looking forward to going on a much needed holiday to Portugal next year. Wish I lived nearer to 4getmenott Smallholding, I’d be visiting those alpacas every chance I got 🙂
My daughter graduated with a PGCE which was a proud moment
I’m looking forward to starting on a garden project and hopefully finishing it!
My favourite memory from 2022 was my granddaughter’s wedding in April. Because of Covid the date was changed three times but we got there in the end and it was worth waiting for.
My favorite memory of 2022 was graduating from university. In 2023, I am looking forward to my first ever skiing trip!

Our family holiday to North Wales where the kids went swimming in the sea for the first time

I’m looking forward to starting a new work and volunteering roles in 2023.
My best memory of 2022 was definitely going to Mallorca in October. I’ve never been on holiday around my birthday and so to escape the first signs of autumn was amazing. We had so much fun there, stress free and happy.
I think I will be looking forward to my daughter starting nursery as she’s 3 years old now. I’m hoping it will be able to relieve some stress and for me and husband to catch up. I also hope she learns some social skills there so she can learn to share with her older brother
2022 It went by in a flash! Here’s to 2023!!
