Checking in!

Posted on September 19, 2019January 3, 2022 By Becky

Hi all,

Just checking in to say that I’m still alive as I know I’ve been a little quiet on here!

I’ve been knuckling down with my new business the past month or so as I’ve been fortunate enough to take on a few more clients so have been getting them ‘settled in’ to the Becky Freeman Digital stable so to speak and making sure everyone is happy and okay. This has meant less time for my own little personal space, but I’m hoping to start posting from next week ‘for fun’ (have a fabby Ikea Pax upcycling project to show you!), and also have a few brand collaborations with some awesome companies… it’s hard getting the balance at the moment but I know it’s swings and roundabouts and everything will settle down again soon. The kids are obviously back at school once more (Year 3 and 4 for the big two! That frightens me now as I remember clearly aspects of both those school years and they seem like yesterday!).

This year so far has passed by in a blur, but a rather wonderful one… I still can’t believe some days that we managed to get the house that we’re in after all the waiting and stress, I can’t believe that my business is doing so well so soon (I’ll keep crossing my fingers about that as I’m currently at full client capacity unless I take somebody else on) and even Adam is about to start a brand-new, exciting job from next month which is HUGE and slightly scary but awesome, as he’s been at his current company for years and was like family. 

I joked with him that 2019 was ‘THE YEAR OF CHANGE’ and I wasn’t half right- maybe it’s a mid-30s crisis or something I dunno but we’re rolling with it…

Now if I can just find a few hours to do some more decorating of the house then i’ll be set!

A day out with just my boy

Posted on February 22, 2017

Last Wednesday during half term, Sasha had a full day at gymnastics camp, so I decided to make the most of having some rare one-to-one time and a day out with my eldest boy! This hardly ever happens (when we really we should make more effort to do this), and…

Pancake Saturdays

Posted on March 29, 2015May 21, 2025

  When I had children I always knew I wanted to create a few traditions for them, lovely little rituals they might want to recreate with their own family once they’d grown and flown, and things they’d remember fondly even as adults. Step forward, Pancake Saturdays! This ‘treat’ breakfast has…

Things that have made me happy this week

Posted on January 14, 2016August 13, 2021

Morning! I thought I would write a Gratitude Express post, the first of a brand new year (albeit 2 weeks late!). I’m so excited about 2016, and all that it might bring. In an increasingly scary world, I figure it’s all about looking for the good that there is in…
