Forever hunting the Northern Lights with my side kick

These cats! One spread eagle with her favourite toy (a bath p**f) and him squishing himself into the wall whilst giving the side eye 😂

Little night out with the eldest and husband. We sucked at the quiz but the craic was good. Nice little break from sitting on the sofa and stuffing chocolate in my face.

We don’t have Christmas dinner (none of us are that fussed) but we do love a sweet Christmas brunch and I still get to do a Christmas Table. Minimalistic this year and used baubles for place settings for a change. The favour bags are filled with a chocolate Santa and scratch card. Even broke out the chemex for a coffee today.

From me and mine to you and yours we wish you all a very merry Christmas and all the best for 2024!

CHRISTMAS 2023 LOADING…..Getting in the Christmas mood by resurrecting the mirror wreath. We have an open fire but also have cream carpets and 2 cats who love to climb the chimney and run sooty paw prints everywhere so we have temporarily boarded it up and stuck a f**k tonne of candles infront of it so it doesn’t look to bare.
Waiting as long as possible to do the Christmas tree though as the cats will have a field day in it!

The most handsome cat in 6 counties turned 2 yesterday! He’s got a bit of a tummy bug at the moment and is off his food so we will celebrate once he’s feeling better

Great weekend at home for my nieces 50-10 birthday party. My lot certainly know how to throw a party 🎉

Another day another cold dip!

Roma was awesome. The heatwave made it hard work at times but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I’ll do a Rome round up shortly but it’s safe to say, we loved it and will definitely be back to explore some more

21/07/2023

Rome, you’ve been a blast. Fantastic city, loads to do and the company wasn’t so bad either. Till next time Roma, Arrivederci!

Anniversary trip to Rome with my 🖤

Let me reintroduce myself….
I’ve been quiet on here lately. I’ve been busy doing life and in a bit of a SM slump. Anyway, I’m Grace, better half 😉 of Eddie and mum to 2 teen boys (one of which is in Sunny California right now with his Aunt & Uncle, lucky sod). As cliched as it sounds I love to travel, my cats, planners, DIY, podcasts, sarcasm and dark humour. I hate stuck up people who think they’re better than others, people who can’t take a joke and birds 🦅 (especially pigeons). If you don’t like swearing or opinionated people then maybe I’m not for you 😉
Have a banging week everyone 🖤

The most handsome of cats…..but he brings all the girl cats to the yard 😂

Todays workout was a grind and now I’m off to the devil doctor (physio) for more torture 🥴

15/06/2023

A couple of days off means I get to train at home, in the day, in the sunshine. Thank the lord for the garage gym!

09/06/2023

Actually think Eddie tried to kill me today with our workout. No sweaty selfie as I didn’t even know my name never mind how to work my phone afterwards. Yes, it was that bad. This was back in the office post shower, makeup less and still sweating 😅

Getting outside for some fitness today round our local Forrest park. 8k/5m weighted so I opted for the weighted vest. Nice to get outside and chew the fat together.

30/05/2023

Battle ropes followed by an endurance session for me today. Bright red face again but good to get outside in some sun

Unflattering yet unfiltered photo because it’s important to keep socials balanced.
Today’s workout took me to a place I haven’t been in a very long time. It looked simple on paper but I must have pushed it a little too hard as it left me a sweaty, melting mess, lay on the floor wondering what the f**k just happened to me. That was after puking my guts up 🤮 But do you know what, I feel f**king fantastic for it now. Never miss a Monday. I can honestly say my Bank Holiday Mondays have changed from what they used to be.

28/05/2023

My main man is pretty awesome. Not really a kip Moore fan but still come along and joined in because it was my thing. Find a man who will drink beers and listen to country music with you

Hanging after a little evening session.

Post about how I got gassed by a bunch of pensioners on a flight up on my blog (link in bio) 😂 Them OAP’s are ruthless!

Ever wondered what it’s like to be gassed out by a bunch of pensioners? ⬇️⬇️⬇️🥴

Solo Travel……It’s not for everyone but for some it’s liberating. Sometimes you just need some space to please yourself, do and be exactly what you want with no compromises. I enjoyed a few days relaxing, exploring, meeting new people and just generally being Grace instead of mum or wife. It was great and will now probably become an annual thing. Fantastic way to recharge.

Back at the airport to drop off this legend. It’s his 16th birthday today and all he wanted was to go the Liverpool game. Straight out of a maths GCSE, birthday lunch, home changed then off again. He’s buzzing he can now fly solo. I am from Liverpool so he’s off to stay with my family and going the game tomorrow.

SUNDOWNERS…..What a way to end the day!

Do people over share on holiday?

Yesterday I got chatting to this bloke at the bar, he and his wife we’re working their way through the cocktail menu. Brilliant, hope you enjoy a boozy afternoon at the pool. About half an hour later I walked past them and stopped to ask his wife if she enjoyed her Piña Colada. Her reply….”not really, it gave me the runs!”
OK Then 😬
Seen them again this morning and it took all my might not to ask her how her arse was for sh*ts 🤣
Seriously though, who shares stuff like that with strangers 🤷‍♀️

Happy Hook Up Day to my Ride or Die!
23 years ago today, at a Norwegian National Day party, I made this man an offer he couldn’t refuse 😉
2 years later he made me his wife 😘
Just look at those baby faces when we first got together 👶 🇳🇴

Want your drinks to stay cool by the pool?

This is a tip I learned from a group of Americans in Mexico….get a Yeti (or similar) thermos cup. Most pool bars serve drinks in paper or plastic glasses for safety reasons and noone likes drinking out of them 🥴 I take my own yeti and just ask the bartender to put my drink in that which they’re often more than happy to do (todays bartender was amazed by it and told me I was living in the year 3000 😂).
Means my drinks stay cold (nothing worse than a warm piña colada) and I don’t have to drink out of scabby plastic. I take my own glass straws too because yep I’m that boujee and can’t bear paper straws either. 💁‍♀️

Now I know everyone is all over the Stanley Cup trend right now but they’re not for me. For a start, I like my water at room temperature (odd I know), if I’m filling one of them up with cocktails then I’d be rolling before I’d have it finished and lastly they’re heavy when full. It’s near a workout carrying it round so for me I’ll stick to my camel back water bottle and yeti cocktail cup. Chin chin 🍹
