Having a Peice of Home with Me

Hello Everyone!

You may or may not have noticed that I've been some what absent from my blog the past few months. 

Ooops, sorry! 

This is because we had my Nan over from the UK!

 If you weren't aware, I was born in the UK but now live in New Zealand. And because it's not the cheapest trip 'to and from', the time and memories I do have with my family are the most meaningful to me.

My Nan came over in December in preparation for my older sisters wedding on new years eve. It was all a very exciting time as you can imagine, but unfortunately that meant I barely had any time to sit down at my computer and write a blog post. But now that I'm here let me tell you all about it.

So first of course, my Nan. I still cant believe she flew half way across the world BY HERSELF to be here! She is amazing! I'm so glad she stayed as long as she did because the quality time we spent together was so important to me. Although she was here for a whole month, the time just flew by! I feel like there was so much more I wanted to show her, do with her, talk to her about; But maybe that will encourage me to start saving for a plane ticket of my own. Hmmm? 

The things we did do together though were lovely. Not only did we make icing flowers for my sister wedding cake, but she taught me how to cross stitch; Side note it's super relaxing! I made my first ever Christmas Cake with her, And also just the quality time we spent together, pottering around was nice.

Next, was the wedding! It was the most magical night, filled with love, and tears, and laughter. So many amazing memories were made that night, all of which I'll cherish forever. It's a night I'll remember for a long time, Except for the hours between 10pm to 12am. Yeah, those I'm going to have trouble remembering. ;)

So that's what has been happening if my life recently.

Again, I'm sorry the large gaps between blog posts, But I'm back now and ready to write until my heart's content.

Valentines Day + Tag?

Hello everyone!

First off, how was your Valentines Day? What did you get up to?

I spent the day at home....Might sound boring, but I really enjoyed myself. Me and my mum decided to spend the evening watching soppy romantic movies and stuff our faces with 75% off Valentines day chocolate(The best part about Valentines day), sweeties and anything else we could get our hands on. While my brother spent some time with his girlfriend making forts in his bedroom...Aww, young love! <3

I love Valentines day! Not really too sure why? I just find it sweet, having a day dedicated to showing someone how much you love them. Whether it be your partner, friends or family. Oh yeah...and the reduced prices on chocolate. Yum!

Now secondly, the other day I woke up to an email saying, someone(Sam) had 'nominated' me for the 'Liebster Award'. I was very happy but also a little confused as I'd never herd of it before, so I decided to do a little research...

Basically the 'Liebster Award is an award/tag that is passed through different blogs to help new bloggers, with less than 200 followers, get noticed. The blogger that it's nominated to must answer 11 questions and then pass it on with eleven new questions. So here we go...
