A Baffled Little Blogger

Hey there!

So, i'm not entirely sure what to call this post. Bucket list? Things to do before i'm 100?
Ehh. I'm just gonna go with someday I would really love to do all these things.
I'm not going to set a timescale on any of these. I just like knowing that someday they are definitely a maybe. 

• I've been wanting to do this one for a while... Someday I want to have a pretty dramatic haircut and donate a large portion of my hair to The Little Princess Trust .They specialise in making wigs for children going through cancer treatments. My hair is pretty long so hopefully one day it will make one little princess very happy.
  
•  I want to volunteer for a wildlife and animal protection charity in Thailand or South America (or both!) I'm thinking something along the lines of helping with Elephants and Orangutans? I'm not going to be fussy, I just think it would be so amazing!
  
• For an entire year (maybe next year?) I want to take a photo every single day of something that has made me smile. No matter how little.
  
• Perfect the ultimate cupcake recipe
  
• Someday I really want the opportunity to help someone who went through or is going through anxieties, and 'mental health problems' at school. Having personal experience in this area I think I owe something back to the people who helped me. (I guess this is a story for another day, but it is something I would really like to do)
  
• Now this one may seem a little small and silly but I reaaalllyy want to learn how to play an instrument... properly. I have a ukulele that has been sitting in my room for over a year just gathering dust. Maybe that's where I will start.
  
• Okay. This is one that I have wanted to do for years and years and years. My lovely friend Maeghan who I grew up with in the UK moved back home to Canada quite some time ago now. Someday i'm gonna go and visit her and her awesome family over in Nova Scotia. Watch out Canada, i'm coming for you!
  
•  Staying on the same sort of theme, some day I am going to go and visit my amazing pen friend, Devika. She lives in India and earlier this year we were lucky enough to meet up and have lunch in London. Seeing we as we met through Twitter and our mutual love of Harry Potter and cupcakes, I think that's pretty awesome.
  
• I want to learn a new language!
  
• I'd like to adopt an animal. It might not be my first or second.. But someday I'd like to give a better home to an animal who maybe hasn't had a lot of love in it's life before.
  
• I've always wanted to live somewhere (even just for a little while) near the seaside.

• Someday I want to hold hands with my boyfriend and watch something like the northern lights or a solar eclipse or a meteor shower or something along those lines.
  
• My last one for now is that someday I would like to have a job where I really genuinely look forward to Mondays.

I guess that's it for now.
If you were wondering what I look like while i'm writing this post... this is it. 

If I fits, I sits

"Cuddles make eveerrryythinggg better"

They are in no way perfect, but they are super yummy and a great way to put a smile on someones face on a autumn afternoon. 


Right... i'm off to eat more pie. 
Let me know if you would like a more detailed version of the recipe!

Now i'm not saying you're going to see a cute little duck splashing about having a great time in the puddles every day, but little things that make you smile all add up to something eventually. Right? Right. 

One of my favourite blogs / twitter feeds is all done by The Random Acts Of Kindness Foundation. They always have the loveliest ideas about how to make somebodies day just a little bit brighter. I love the concept, and I know i'm not the only one... So why not give it a go? 



1. Call that person you always said you will 'keep in touch with' even if you haven't spoken in ages! 

2. If you see someone you go to work or school with having a bad day, just bring them a cup of tea or hot chocolate (Even better!) ... Don't ask. Just do! (even if they don't like tea... a warm cup is a lovely hand warmer if it's chilly outside!)

3. Let that person in your lane when you are driving, they might be in just as much of a rush as you are!

4. Smile at a stranger ... Not in a creepy way, in a just because way. (smiles are contagious... Spread it around!) 

5. Each time you get a new piece of clothing, donate an old one to charity. Same goes for anything you can think of 
(Bed sheets, Blankets, Cups, Plates, toys ... You get the idea)

6. Put sticky notes with positive slogans or smiley faces on the mirrors in public restrooms.
 (I love this one) 

7.  Leave lovely comments on blogs, Twitter, Facebook or any social media you're into 

8. Do the job nobody wants to do. (Perhaps clean that part of the house/office that everybody has been putting off)

9. Bake some cakes or cookies to share with you friends/family/colleagues (Everybody loves cake)

10. Call somebody you love and thank them for being so lovely 


It's nothing much... But maybe we can just do what we can with what we have.
