Adam and I met at school and started dating when we were just 14. At 23 we got married in the most beautiful setting in bright sunshine overlooking three lakes surrounded by our family and friends. Around two or so weeks before that day we had found out the best news - we were expecting our first child together and as you can imagine, life felt pretty amazing - I felt at my most content and most happiest and so I started a blog as a way to capture those happy emotions and moments.
Ethan was born in 2013 and then his little brother and our second Son, Logan was born in June 2015. I've continued writing and capturing moments in my life through this blog and also through video now too, because I don't want to forget the little details that make up our best memories as a family. And because I've discovered such a lovely online community that I may not otherwise have ever been able to connect with through doing this too.
Here on my blog I write mostly about motherhood, as well as our family travels and adventures and I also share posts about our home interiors and vegetarian family food.
We feel very fortunate to have worked with some incredible brands, both well known established brands and smaller start-ups that have been the right fit for our family and for my audience. I devote so much time and effort in to writing my blog and making videos for my youtube channel and working with brands from time to time means that I am able to carry on putting in as much time and effort all whilst supporting my family at the same time.
Over the past couple of years, I have also been working hard on building up my YouTube content and subscribers. I make videos about the same sorts of topics as I write about here on my blog and I also share 'vlogs' or diary style videos about our daily life, as well as travel and days out videos too.

Our family..
Alex (Me)..
As a Mum to two young children, life is mostly quite hectic. It's busy, often manic and generally leaves me falling into bed in the evening just after the kids go to bed (fellow parents - I'm sure you'll very much be able to relate!).
I'm a vegetarian, a crazy cat lady and I feel passionately about animal welfare. My other passions and hobbies include british history (especially anything Tudor related), cuddling cats, taking photos and making videos and generally just exploring (be that via holidays and travel or just general everyday days out, I love finding new places and getting lost in the moment!). I'm also a bit of a gamer-nerd and love playing games like World of Warcraft.
Adam
My Husband is one of those people who is really good at anything that he puts his hands to. Back in 2012 he combined his creative spark and his Lego interest and created his own business Demonhunter Bricks - he creates and sells custom Lego mini figures based upon popular television programmes, films and games. He recently designed his own custom lego lightsabers after watching and then becoming slightly obsessed with the Star Wars films. Adam works from home like I do, which is amazing as we get to see a lot of eachother whilst both working on things that we love to do. He's an incredible Dad to our boys and the absolute best Husband to me!
Ethan
Ethan who is 9, loves anything to do with Lego, Minecraft, Pokemon, Zelda & Mario at the moment. He loves days out, theme parks, holidays and cats!
Logan
Logan is 6 and loves all things Super Mario, Minecraft, Pokemon and Lego (like his brother)!
Both of my boys love nothing more than being outdoors. In fact, as a family we love nothing more than being outdoors and having as much fun as possible.
Plus five cats!
We also have five fur babies in our family too! As a a self-confessed crazy cat lady, I have five cats! Sooty, Rosie, Charlie, Henry and our newest addition - Charizard (who was named by Ethan after his favourite Pokemon!).
