Around the World in 50 Books
Even though I love to travel, the reality is, with kids (and the never-ending saga that is covid), travelling is not so easy at the moment. Yes, we have managed a few places this year, but I haven’t travelled half as much as I would’ve liked to. That being said, I HAVE travelled a lotContinue reading “Around the World in 50 Books”

My Top 5 Books of 2020
What a year 2020 has been! This is the first year in my entire life where I’ve pretty much picked up reading as a full-time hobby.

First came nonchalance, then full-blown panic, then anger… Now I’ve accepted it; it is what it is, it’s not completely out of our control and no matter what, the show must go on.

I Doubt I’ll Make Millions from Freelancing, and that’s Okay
Since making the transition from full time employee to freelancer, a lot of changes have gone on in the world. When I first started freelancing, it was less common and less heard of to work from home.

The Pros and Cons of Working from Home
Working as a freelancer is both liberating and frustrating. You get to work from the comfort of home – but also with only yourself for company. While this doesn’t bother me, it definitely doesn’t work for everyone. Some people simply need to be surrounded by other people in order to work productively – and that’sContinue reading “The Pros and Cons of Working from Home”

Image by Snapwire from Pexels. I’m naturally a very busy ‘thinker,’ which isn’t necessarily a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ thing, but I wouldn’t mind having the ability to switch my brain off every now and then – or at least the sound!
