I have Google rage, there’s no other name for it. Since Google Reader stopped allowing sharing within Reader and made us all use Google + I’ve had the arse with using it. And don’t even get me started about Google getting rid of Google Friend Connect for non blogger blogs as of March 1, 2012! I’ll [...]

Presents Ideas

Christmas Present Pretties

22 November 2011

A couple of companies have really jumped out for me this year, one being Cox and Cox and the other Belle and Boo (not a sponsored post I just love what they make!). I’ve [...]

{Easy to Make} Simple Flower Buckets

17 November 2011

They only take about 10 minutes to make and really simple but look good. I’ve bought some inexpensive buckets to make them [...]
