Looking ahead to 2019

Blooming

1 Jan

So here we are, a clean sheet of paper .. nothing written yet .. all to be decided … welcome to 2019.

I have of course written a review of 2018 which you can read here, so thought it only right that I write one with all my hopes, dreams and goals for 2019, some of which are already in the planning others are just on my wish / to do / achieve list.

A trip to Barcelona is planned for the spring for me and Mr W, we loved our honeymoon in Paris and the thought of a long weekend city break really appealed to us, Barcelona has been on our bucket list for a while, flights and hotel have been booked …. it goes without saying that my mum has been booked for teenage sitting duties,  .. Mr W will be back on insta hubby duties (he’s already super excited!) and I will of be blogging about our trip.

Another trip I  plan on making this year is a trip to NI to visit & meet up with the insta and blogger gang, don’t worry they have been warned and seem to be happy about it .. I have been wanting to meet up with these amazing and inspiring women for a long while and feel 2019 is a good year to do it.  Of course I’d love to meet up with lots of other instagrammers and bloggers, I have met a few on some of the outings I made in 2018, and its always such a positive and truly happy experience .. where friendships are made .. I mean what’s not to love about it.

Keeping on the insta and blogging theme, getting to that amazing 10k mark on instagram is a goal for this year, I am fully aware of how far I have to go to reach it, but I love everything about instagram, the people, the inspiration and the creativity I get from it, it really does bring me a huge amount of happiness, so achieving my goals will be a lot of fun.  Of course alongside my instagram comes this blog, and again I find putting together blog posts, be it about fashion, styling, my family or anything else that may spring to my mind, I find it hugely satisfying, I feel very proud how far it has come in just one and half years, yet there is still so much more I can and still would like to do, learn and achieve with it.


I would absolutely love to continue working with my favourite brands Boden, Joules & Fatface, I feel so lucky and privileged to say that I have worked and collaborated with these brands, and to to be able to add a few more amazing brands to my list and gain the experience of working and meeting with such interesting and wonderful people is a high on my 2019 list.  I have a sheet of paper that I keep which lists all the brands I would like to work with … I keep it in my diary for inspiration and to remind me of my goals.

In the latter few months of 2018 I reduced my hours at work dramatically, it was done with my family in mind .. I won’t lie and say its not been a worry, because it has been and is still, the reduction of my wage is going to be a huge learning curve, but its funny when you feel a door is closing if you look hard enough there is always another door opening .. opportunities arise from what at the time seems like a disaster, this is what has is slowly happening with me .. taking me on a different path, something I never thought was even a possibility, I will write more about this in the next few months .. when I am more confident and have a more structured feel about it, I am excited to see where this path takes me.

Fitness is once again on my list of achievable goals, although saying that it was in 2018 and I failed miserably .. I am now however more determined .. my body is willing me to do something .. I’m not talking about running a marathon or anything like that, but to feel better in my body .. which in turn will help me feel better in my mind can only be a good thing.  I need to be kinder, less judgemental about myself, try and look at the positives and not constantly at what I see is “wrong” with me.  So with the fitness in mind of course the other side is to eat healthier, be more varied and possibly adventurous in my cooking .. I would like to try new recipes .. not only for me but for the children & Mr W too, so the cook books are out and the planning is beginning .. you never know I may even start doing baking blogs!

That is it for now .. I have a lot to work with & towards in 2019 which is very exciting.  So I shall stop this blog here and wish you a wonderfully exciting 2019 .. I’d be really interested to hear what your goals are … and if you are actually planning on running a marathon!

Niki xx

AD • I was questioned yesterday (not by the poli AD • I was questioned yesterday (not by the police before you start worrying 😦) but by Mr W (it was like being in Line of Duty 😜) .. “did I buy these (*gorgeous) blooms so I could photograph them in this bag?” .. *he didn’t say “gorgeous” that was added by me ... of course I explained the answer isn’t simple a yes or no .... I wanted flowers for my lovely @tillyanna bag this is true .. but I also love blooms in our home 🌸  basically it’s what you call a win win situ .. he rolled his eyes muttered something and wandered off 🤣 .... I didn’t then like to tell the bread I’d baked early was done purely for a insta shot (thankfully my teens are gannets & ate the evidence 😁😏)

Personalise Jute @tillyanna .. they have a whole gorgeous range of bags .. super handy for carrying flowers in 😉🌸

AD – although I love my home being hectic & comp AD – although I love my home being hectic & completely full on 99.9% of the time, there are those moments I like to steal away and just have those five minutes of calm .. from a bath to having a quiet read in my bedroom with candles lit & a hot coffee .. of course it still gets disturbed with a "mum where's my ….." … and the usual response of either a) "where you left it… " or b) "well if you kept your bedroom tidy & put things away then you'd be able to find it ….. wouldn't you" .. even with teens life is still 100mph .. thankfully Wellwoman Original helps to support energy levels and overall wellbeing. It contains 24 nutrients such as B6, B12 and Iron which contribute to normal energy release which helps me to keep up with the not so little darlings ❤️ #ad, #IAmWellwoman, #Wellwoman, #Vitabiotics @Vitabiotics
