Life, chaos, and cats—with a side of accidental internet success. I’m Mandy: midlife, single forever, and somehow making a living sharing honest stories, product reviews, and the occasional existential crisis. Expect travel adventures, neurodivergent-friendly finds, and daily life with five rescue cats. It’s a bit messy, a bit magical, and always real.

The Lets Go Retro Challenge

Oh boy, I can't even believe I'm about to share this one, photo is so embarrasing!  Shimelle challenged us to go retro and scrapbook an old photo.


The photo is of me and my brother in 1981!!

The journalling reads "1981, I was 7 and my brother was 4, our first school photo together, I think my fringe and my brothers jumper says it all really, welcome to the 80's"

Pretty much everything I've used was from the October Afternoon Rocket Age range as it's perfect for retro photos and the robot stamp I've had for yonks and used it for the very first time here.

Love this, always want to be able to do retro but mine never seem to work out as well as this.

Love this, you are making me want to buy that range! P.S. I had the exact same fringe and pretty much still have it :p
