I loved the new book, 24 hours in Nowhere

When I got sent the following brief regarding a new book coming out in September 2018, I just had to read it:

"24 Hours in Nowhere is a real page-turner adventure featuring four kids on a treasure hunt – it’s a book that echoes The Goonies and Stand By Me and has a great sense of humour and a cast of very likeable and resilient characters. It’s a story of friends overcoming adversity through a shared struggle and a reminder that life’s hardships, be they being bullied or feeling like an outcast, can be beaten."

Just because adjusting to being a new parent is hard, however, does not mean you should let it overtake your focus on the future.

Dressmaking course to TARDIS dress in 6 months

At the end of 2017, I made the decision to take a dressmaking course!  It's something I've wanted to do for a while but I've always found an excuse not to do it, and in the meantime, continued to battle with my sewing machine!
