So, what’s yours – leave a comment to share. “Don’t judge me, but….” No judgement here ;)

Last week I was honoured to be featured on neofundi as one of their blogger spotlight interviews. Here are my answers from my interview on neofundi…. I thought you might like to know a little bit more about me! Tell us about your blog ‘Becoming you’ I started blogging because I wanted to do something for me – as a mom of 2 young kids I realised that life had become all about the kids and my responsibilities at home and work and I had forgotten what it was that I enjoyed doing most like photography, interiors, travel etc. I …  Read More »

Whoever has not realised how much colour affects our daily lives really must have been in a black and white movie. Colour really is one of the most powerful methods of altering our mood – can you not help but smile when you spot something a sunny yellow or perk up when surrounded by purple pansies? Was there really nothing more exciting as a child than a fresh box of colourful Crayola crayons? So here are some brights to brighten your day! I certainly love colour but along with the masses seem to dress myself in a palette of greys, …  Read More »

There are so many wonderful places in the world which I still need to see. I’m aiming for an amazing round the World trip one day – probably in my retirement – having kids seems to sap the cash from your bank account like nobody’s business!!

Been to Paris, the Alps and the north of France but never quite made it futher …  Read More »
