About me









My name is Claire, I am a married mum of three gorgeous kids - 11, 9 and 5 . Two boys and one girl. I have been married to my long suffering husband for 14 years. We live in a fabulous village with a little school, shop and play park - idyllic! Our house is lovely, but despite having poured much money into it over the years it still needs a lot of finishing - still we love it in all its shabbiness as it is our home.

I am returning to teaching after many years of being at home raising a family. It is the start of a new phase for me, exciting, but daunting at the same time!

  I love anything to do with beauty and make up and especially since having kids I see the importance of making that bit of effort to feel good about yourself.

I also have a bit of an obsession about never paying too much for anything. I'm always scurrying around looking for ways to cut our costs and save a bit of money here and there - probably motivated by how expensive 3 children are! I am never happier than having an afternoon to myself to scour the charity and second hand furniture stores for bargains and then to spend a few days renovating my finds to create real treasures.


   Come see my ramblings as I begin this blogging journey - I've met so many amazing people already - who knew?! If I did I would have blogged years ago ........loving it! X
