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.

Would love to win this for my daughter – she loves Jimmy Choo perfume
My favourite memory of 2022 was going camping for the first time in years with my hubby and kids! We didn’t know if our disabled son would cope, but we all had the most amazing time and planning our 2023 adventures!!
I am looking forward to sunshine and warm weather to enjoy picnics – getting out into the fresh air. My favourite memory of 2022 is adopting the perfect little rescue dog for companionship last autumn. We lost our elderly collie in the spring, and spent four months looking for an older calmer dog. Most of the rescues were overflowing with lockdown pups.
I can’t wait to visit my grandparents in Wales in the summer with my children x
This year I am so looking forward to a holiday to London with my husband and our daughter, and visiting all the sights, and going to watch Wicked and Frozen!! So excited!!
We are eagerly awaiting theme park season to begin, we absolutely love day trips as a family
I am looking forward to meeting up with my son and his family who live in Texas.
I have a feeling 2023 isn’t going to be great. Is it January blues? 2022 was a great year, so many lovely memories with family and friends..
I’m looking forward to a fresh start
