Hi! My name is Becky, and I live on the South-East London/Kent borders with my husband, Adam, and three children- 7 year old Freddie, 6 year old Sasha, plus our baby boy Arlo who arrived in June 2017. I am a digital marketing bod, blogger and interiors and travel enthusiast, who strongly believes that you can never have enough coffee.
Welcome to my blog!
I decided to start my blog as a way of recording our lives, but over the last three years it has expanded to feature more of my loves and passions, in particular my love for creating and renovating our second family home, that we bought as another project in October 2016. As a result you can expect to find a healthy mix of family life, interiors, life and home organisation (I am renowned for being anally-organised among my friends!), crafty stuff for big and little people, our adventures (both here in the UK and further afield), and probably the odd post about trying (and sometimes failing) to juggle all this!
I love writing, having studied for a broadcast journalism degree, and this space has become a virtual home and creative outlet for me.
When I’m not involved in any of the stuff mentioned above, I’m spending time with my family, out with friends or planning our next project or adventure. I’m also partial to cake, wine and have an unhealthy cheese obsession!
So, thanks for dropping by 🙂
I’d love to hear from new readers, bloggers and brands alike (see my ‘work with me’ page for more info!), so please do feel free to leave a comment.

LOVE! Good work Becky x
Thanks Katie! x
What an inspiration you are Becky, good luck and will enjoy reading all of the crafts and things we can do with sienna and dexter when I have a spare five mins Janet xxx
Thanks Janet! Hopefully you’ll find something fun to do here with the kids once i’ve built up more posts- and ideas are always welcome! xx
Your blog and photos are wonderful. Glad to know about your blog! Hope to keep in touch with you!
Thank you so much, glad you like it!
Love your blog-added you to my blog love page too! x
Whoop, nice one! x
Love the blog, especially the photography! I am hoping to do a course this year as I love taking pics! x
Thank you, Tracey! I would love to do a course too, trying to find one that is worthwhile but doesn’t cost the earth is proving tricky! If you hear of any please let me know! x
Isn’t ALL craft sweary?! 😉 Loving your blog!
Thanks Jude! Crafts often end up sweary, or at least the cleaning up part! 😉
Nice
Hi There!
I follow you on IG and have looked at your blog page and think it’s fab!
I’d love to do my own blog (photography, travel, family, fashion etc) but don’t know where to start…?!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Ceri, thanks so much for your lovely comment 🙂 if you let me know your email address I’ll send you a few tips to get you started!
Hey Becky,
I’m a regular on your blog, the articles on interior design are my favourite!
I found this article about how to paint walls with an ombre effect, and I think your readers will like it:

Let me know what you think of it,

I’m just reading more about your blog after the #HomeEtc linky and am now wondering if we’re neighbours?? I too live on the SE London/Kent borders, I’m in Grove Park/Bromley…love all your interiors posts X
Hi!! I came across a post you wrote on someone else’s blog as I was on the hunt for the answer “Do I have baby number 3?” You wrote that you were in the same boat. Now I see you have baby number 3! Did you do a post about it and I couldn’t find it?! Would love to hear how you made your decision!
Hi Katie, so sorry I didn’t see your comment sooner! I didn’t write a post I don’t think about whether or not to go for a third, but I wrote a couple afterwards once we’d had him if they might be of any help? https://www.spiritedpuddlejumper.com/how-im-finding-having-3-children-4-months-in/ and this one https://www.spiritedpuddlejumper.com/what-having-3-children-is-like-1-year-on/
I think we just decided in the end that we’d probably regret more not having a third and then always wondering ‘what if’ and we definitely made the right decision! He’s just fab and the big two adore him, and I love seeing them all together despite it being hectic at times. I know that I am ‘done’ now. If you have any questions let me know x
