ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Anouska. I’m in my late forties and live with my husband, our two boys, a gentle giant of a Great Dane, and a tortoise with plenty of character. I’m a career-driven mum who thrives on adventure, the outdoors, and keeping life organised—while making our home a welcoming space to unwind in.

Travel is my biggest passion (with more than a touch of Disney magic involved), and it’s something that continues to shape our family life.

Here on my blog, I’ll be sharing weekly posts about life after kids leaving school—from home life and organisation tips to travel inspiration and little ways to find daily happiness. Family adventures, especially to Disney, will always have a special place here.

For years I’ve loved watching YouTube on these topics, but lately I’ve found myself craving a quieter, calmer way to connect—reading instead of scrolling and writing instead of posting on fast-paced social media. This blog is my space to share, reflect, and hopefully inspire.

UPCOMING PROJECTS

Looking ahead, there are a few things I know I’ll be sharing soon:

  • 🍂 Tips on getting our home ready for autumn and what that means for us.
  • 🎂 Family celebrations — we have a few birthdays next month, including a big milestone later this year when my husband turns 50!
  • ✈️ Our exciting Orlando trip — I’ll be sharing how we plan, prepare, and of course the adventures once we’re there.
  • 💭 Reflections on the transition from “school mum” to “adult mum,” and what it means to finally carve out time for myself.
