The daily adventures of a list-obsessed, oversharing, active first-time mum
It was still raining today, so it was a challenge to quickly research something to do indoors that wasn’t shopping. Thus we ticked off another one of my bucket list “of course that’s a thing” activities – the Cup of Noodle museum.
This was probably our hardest day of the trip so far…but spoiler alert, things get better on day 4! So excuse the “we’re nearly going to have a break down” facials you see in this vlog. And excuse the dancing, because…..Kelly dancing.

I was so keen to just consider 2019 a bit of a crap year, but there are definitely some highlights. There’s also some lows for the year, and I’m trying to not let them overshadow the highs. But on a whole, I’m ending this year in a bit of a negative mood.
