Choosing For A Total Life Changer I have decided to go for the option to write on children, since as we speak I am sitting on the couch with my 8 month pregnant belly.

Understandably so by the way, he…

As you can see everything became instantly more green and vibrant! As I am in the wobble stage of pregnancy I decided to head to my local…

The Magical Peak District in the UK Last winter we went to the Peak District in the United Kingdom, a place I have been multiple times before but that I always find magical. It is a beautiful area where you can do wonderful hikes, scrambles and climbing. We stayed in this very romantic English cottage near Bakewell, known for its Bakwell tarts, a lovely treat you should try when you are around! Now even though it was winter we specifically went to go walking in the beautiful…
