It is less than a month away until we reach a 2024, but I am not finished with 2023, and making sure I end the year being thankful and reflect on it, and go over the wins and the non wins and let go of the year, by setting new goals, implement new habits that will help me to grow, and make some more Life Changes, that will build my life up more, and setting myself challenges.
I remember my dad used to hate New Years eve, and I even after all these years, and my dad no longer alive, not sure why, but speaking of myself I often felt emotional about it. I felt fear, and all that I hoped for didn’t happen and let myself down. Yet now I feel excited and thankful for the years I have lived.
Looking at 2023, I created another book, that I hope will be published in the New year, and my Youtube channels have been building, please check them out.

I received more subscribers and followers on my blog sites, along with my Instagram, and on Facebook, and got my energy back and not spending too long on my computer and moving. I love going for walks with my son and spending time going to shows and exploring, by going for walks in the morning and indoor workouts in the afternoon and sleeping well, which I have always had trouble with.
It is making simple changes. I know longer have my phone by my bedside when it is bed time, not spending too much time on my laptop, and will use my laptop, when my son has gone to school, and gone for a walk in the morning, and put my phone on silent and get dressed as soon as I get up. Only drinking alcohol at weekends, but even the weekends I won’t have a drink, it depends on what I feel like having and love a cup of tea, and still want to work on my diet and continue getting fit, but reflectoing and going through of what I want to do next, and what I want to let go of.
I want to close this year off as it started on a good note, and got things to look forward too. Like my next book finished, and started to continue writing another book, and going to a birthday party in Bognor and off to see Bruch Springsteen, and the next will be choosing what fundraising walks I want to do, as I really miss doing these, so gonna get back to walking and use it to make a difference to other peoples lives and going to donate cash or products to my local foodbanks. Gonna continue writing to work on content for the new year, and get ready for my Life Coaching programme, “Summer Project 2024”. This is what I created a few years ago, and was very well received, and help you to have a better life and better year.
If you like a comical book, then check out my book Mum&Me and going to be working book 2, and so many writing projects to come, and have a good year, no matter what challenges arise and have plenty to enjoy.
Many thanks for reading,

christmas, community-fridges, decluttering, donations, food and gifts, fundraising, Giving to others, giving-back, holiday-season, looking after the world, minimalism
Since a kid I have loved donating to others and when we had a fete on the housing estate I lived in Hammersmith, I would donate clothes for the jumble sale they had, and loved giving to good causes.
I would watch and donate to Children in Need and Comic Relief and now I want t help out in food banks and donate food and would like to do a monthly haul to give away to a local food bank, to feed families in the UK and the other countries and make a real difference.
Or donate money to them to help feed families and homes, that can’t afford groceries in supermarkets as the prices increase. How is somebody able to live when everything is going up and increasing.? More should be done.
Next year I am going to do walks again for Charity and raise money for good causes. I loved doing this and helps me get fit and grow myself, so why not join me. If you have tips on fundrsaising then please comment below, I love sharing knowledge to help give support and build a community that gives us all a boost to live our lives the best we can and make a difference.
I am gong to begin by buying food that someone can have for at Christmas and be able to buy a contribute in having a Christmas meal or things like Mince Pies and tinned vegetables and something that have long shelf life, and still celebrate, rather than just having whatever meal they have, to feed their family and donate things like Crackers and Puddings, and just making sure they can still enjoy the seasion, and buy a gift to donate for chilidren that may not have one, because of their parents not able to buy them a gift, and often the Supermarkets will have a Christmas appeal to help feed families, So check them out.
So, lets give and change the world and its poverty.
Many thanks for reading,

Yes it is time for goodness and spending time with those you love, but it can also be tough for others. There was a time I dreaded Christmas and was a humbug. I was angry about it. Now though since my son has come into my life, love it again and looking forward to it
I have created a printable for parents and included it into my parenting blog: https://theparentingadventurestipsandtricks.com
So I hope this helps you and I will be doing more as we head towards Christmas and don’t feel alone in the worries and stress, Christmas can bring, as many like me feel the same, and just want to be a good day of cheer and love.
Many thanks for reading,

be proud of ourselves as women, celebrating women, International Womens Day, love ourselves as women, what being a woman means
This is not saying we should forget about the man as there are men we could celebrate, like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, but us women should be celebrated to and love writing blogs on this day because as women we carry our families with us and try to do so much and in the passed decades women were seen as being wives and looking after children when now men and women take care of the home and we raised our voices to change on what being a woman means.
I was around very domestic women and when I think of decluttering, which is my challenge this month (March 2023) to declutter think of it being a woman thing, because of the women I was influenced by. This is not a bad thing I am glad to have learned to tidy and clean, cook and make a cup of tea, and look after my son whilst his dad goes to work . Cleaning and tidy is not my favourite activity, but who else is going to do it? Should it be me? Or course, check my last post: I do not want to declutter and its only the beginning
Being a woman means to be strong and feeling good about being woman and like my boobs, my bum, face, eyes and seeing what we can achieve being a woman. Don’t forget I know not everyone was a fan but had female Prime Ministers, we have had Queens and celebrated Queen Elizabeth ruled for 70 years and so we should feel proud in being a woman.
I love the fact I was carrying a child, my son and was able to cradle him in my womb, and see him being born and watching him grow, not want to miss any minute and us women carry a lot on our shoulders and so being woman is to be a sister, mother, Aunty friend and a Nanny. Not saying that we all should be mothers, that is personal choice, but being able to carry another life is an amazing thing, being able to produce milk to feed our children, and be proud of what as women of what we can do.
If you like a laugh then check out my book Mum&Me on Amazon.co.uk: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mum-Me-Gucci-Tits-Virtue-ebook/dp/B0BGSS7H9K/ref=sr_1_1?crid=Z39QFM7PKFEI&keywords=Mum%26Me+Carrie+Holmes&qid=1678305753&sprefix=mum%26me+carrie+holmes+%2Caps%2C764&sr=8-1
So, lets say cheers and continue to be women and say thanks for what a woman means.
