Glimpsing a nourishing life; with a baked treat and a good book
I have loved to read books for as long as I can remember. I think my earliest book related memory is of me standing in the garden getting so excited as Mum and Dad gave me another Enid Blyton book. I loved the ‘Adventures of the Wishing Chair’ and ‘The Faraway Tree’ series in particular. […] Read more…
It has been a long time since I have done an update regarding my diet plan, so I decided that today is the day to talk about it! I began the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) three years ago (time FLIES!). This is a diet that aims to heal the body when there are autoimmune diseases present. […] Read more…
I have never been a breakfast person, but I am coming around! I definitely didn’t like cereal, mainly because of the milk…but now I have discovered that almond milk on toasted granola is delicious, especially when covered in fresh fruit! I have created my own take on granola, and I thought I’d share. This is […] Read more…
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, written by Claire North, is one of those books that I was totally intrigued by and excited to read because it seemed right up my alley.

When Jasper Jones was first published several years ago, a good friend gave it to me as a gift. I started it, and for some reason didn’t finish it. I don’t think it had anything to do with the book – I just have a bad habit of getting over excited about new books and […] Read more…
I received an ARC of the book, 300 Things I Hope, written by Iain S. Thomas, and illustrated by Carla Kreuser, which was very generous of Central Venue Publishing. The book was released on October 1st, 2016, and I apologise that it has taken me this long to get to reading and reviewing it! My delay […] Read more…
People are constantly saying to be grateful for this life that we have been given; this life is a fleeting gift and we need to make the most of every moment. I am a positive person, and always believe that it is important to look for the good, even if it is the tinniest thing […] Read more…
I highly recommend this book, written by Patricia A. Dunn, to everyone – it is useful for writers, readers, teachers, and anyone who is part of today’s society! It looks at a range of books (YA novels and short stories), and analyses them in regard to their representation of disability. It is comprehensive, highly educational, […] Read more…
