As recommendations go, this is quite a big one as I am writing an entire blog post about it. But it has really hit me. This show has been described as gruelling and tender television and I have to agree. Maid is a Netflix miniseries based on a true story. It's a story of Alex, who is trying to get out of an abusive relationship and survive with her 2 year old daughter. It has left me feeling heartbroken and empowered, all at the same time.

When you go on holiday as a family it is so important that you have a great time and create those lasting memories, that stay with you forever. All of your senses come to life: the new smells, the air, the sounds and what you see all create a picture that is captured in your mind forever. Finding the right outfits can also help inspire these feelings; when we went to Spain I captured some wonderful holiday memories and when I look at my holiday dresses it makes me smile.
