Phew, January is over at last (did it seem to last forever to you too?) Here is a round up of what we’ve been up to on my blog and in real life in the new decade.

Chris made me laugh by asking if my photo from 2010 was more recent as I still wear that top…. Nope, that is me 10 years ago, before I became a mum and the other pic is from this month rocking animal print for the first time!

Family: we had the joy of the class bear from Anya and my Nintendo DS has been a popular discovery at the back of a cupboard.

Work: it has been hectic with mock exams and my first governor meeting at my new job. I’m hoping for a bit of rest now until half term (except for 2 exams next week!)

Days out: does a school trip count as a day out? Anya and I went to Milestones with her year group. We also went to see my sister and her family but the weather has been so wet that it has put us off going anywhere else!

Reviews: not many toys or products reviewed as we are still recovering from Christmas but the kids loved Foam Alive

Books: so many books to start the year! Most have been psychological thrillers but also romantic comedy and crime.

Food: I signed up for Veganuary again despite now being committed to veganism long term. I have shared my recipes for tomato and mushroom pasta, chickpea dhal and citrus cake on my blog this month.

How was your January?
