My Favourite Christmas Traditions

My Favourite Christmas Traditions

Most families will have traditions that they do to celebrate different occasions throughout the year. Christmas Traditions are no different.

Every family will have different traditions for the festive time of year, and some people will have favourite ones who they may already do or want to start when they start a family. I’m the exact same, I have some that my family do and some that I’ve seen…

Movies I like to watch at Christmas

Hiya!!

It’s Christmas Time!

I love Christmas time! My Mum has always made Christmas a special time of year. I love putting up all the decorations and lights, the excitement of thinking of what to get everyone for Christmas, wrapping presents, watching people open their presents, laughing and joking about now and the past. 

Christmas films always get me in the mood for Christmas, some…

Building My World: Locations

Building My World: Locations

Hiya!!

Today I want to talk about world-building!

This is something I never really thought of until recently when I decided I wanted to write a bunch of stories within the one universe. So with that I had to start building my world. And I had no clue where to start.

So I started with a name. I had so many; some felt right, others didn’t. I didn’t really let any of them stop me, I…

Bedtime with Chewy and Kuzco

Bedtime with Chewy and Kuzco

Hiya!

I live in a house with five animals – three cats, three guinea pigs, and one dog. The guinea pigs are mine, the other animals are family animals so we all take care of the cats and dog. 

The funny thing about animals is their personalities. Our three cats are Kuzco (Male), Smudge (Female), and Snowball (Female). Kuzco and Smudge are brother and sister – they were the only two in the…

***Ye be warned! This post contains spoilers, not just little spoilers, there is a lot of spoilers! Continue with caution!***

Hiya!

So I finished reading Shadow & Bone by Leigh Bardugo the other night. I had a rollercoaster of emotions towards this book, it was good then it was okay, then I was bored and then I couldn’t put the book down.

Let’s start at the beginning, when we first meet…

Robyn is Rambling!

I’m not planning on writing much more on this blog. I want a place where I can decompress, I’m not brilliant at conveying what I mean in when talking and always come across different from my intentions. I prefer to write, it gives me time to think about my wording and how I actually feel about a situation. 

I want this space to be a place where I can talk about life. Since Graduating from…

Albus Dumbledore Quotes I Want To Try And Live By

Albus Dumbledore Quotes I Want To Try And Live By

Every so many months, round about maybe 6 months, I like to take some time normally over a few days to weeks to evaluate how I feel in my life. What I like and don’t like about how my life is going and to basically refocus myself. My short term goals change often and keeping track of what goals I want to keep and those that have change or new goals that have appeared sometimes gets jumbled up in…

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - The Very Secret Diary

“Of course I know about the Chamber of Secrets. In my day, they told us it was a legend, that it did not exist. But this was a lie. In my fifth year, the Chamber was opened and the monster attacked several students, finally killing one. I caught the person who’d opened the Chamber and he was expelled. But the headmaster, Professor Dippet, ashamed that such a thing had happened at Hogwarts, forbade me to tell the truth. A story was given out that the girl had died in a freak accident. They gave me a nice, shiny, engraved trophy for my trouble and warned me to keep my mouth shut. But I knew it could happen again. The monster lived on, and the one who had the power to release it was not imprisoned.”
