How To Make A House Energy Efficient + A Free Energy Audit Checklist

Having moved into our new house at the end of September last year, we ... Read the Post

Gallerix Posters - Discount Code - Little House On The Corner

Ad - This post is in collaboration with Gallerix.  There are so many fun and exciting things to explore when moving into a new home. We’ve already discovered a completely hidden door that had been wallpapered over in my study, we found a small pond in our garden that’s so overgrown we didn’t even realise it was there and the lady we bought the house off even showed us a secret hiding spot under the floor where the previous owners used to hide people in the war.  I love all ...

DIY Printable Advent Calendar Village

Our big move across Europe from Berlin to Haarlem in the Netherlands may only have just happened, but we’ve already been inspired by living in a new country.  We absolutely love living here which is why I couldn’t resist creating a Dutch themed advent calendar and have made this super cute printable advent calendar village.
