Watch This Space | Abigail Kate
Hello there everyone, long time no see - like seriously its been 4 months I am so sorry. Things have been very busy over here in the world of Abigail Kate in terms of holidays, work, injuries (yes I have managed to injure myself again), and anything else in the world that you can think of. Which very sadly meant that the world of Pretty Girls All In A Row had to lay dormant for a while.
So to all of you who are still with me, thank you very very much, and to those of you who are new - yes I can see you - thank you also. But most of all, thank you because of how patient and kind I know you will all be when I say: I need a few more weeks.
SORRY! I truly am, but the site is in need of a little re-vamp. So I will be back for real this time on the 25/08/2017 and until then…watch this space.
Bye!
Simple Sunday Reading | Abigail Kate
Today I want to talk about why it is totally okay to not be okay. It’s not an uncommon notion to keep everything to yourself and that doesn’t mean it is right. I mean if you are someone who isn’t comfortable talking about your emotions then that is completely fine. What isn’t fine is the idea that you are a weaker human because you are not okay. Every single one of us here is human, and with that comes laughter, comes tears, comes anger, and that is normal, that is human. That is okay. So next time you are not feeling the best, tell someone, tell your mum, tell your next door neighbour, even a tell a stranger on the bus, because the reality of life is everyone is fighting their own battle - no matter how big or small - and that is okay.
Simple Sunday Reading | Abigail Kate
Lately I have been feeling very ‘you only have one life, so live it’ which yes I know is easier said than done. But why? Why is it so drilled in to our society and our existence as humans to stick to some prehistoric guideline of what we should be doing with our lives and when we should be doing it. And be prepared for 20 questions if you even suggest that you may stray from the path of what? normality? Okay, I may be being slightly dramatic now! But all I want to say is go for that career change, book that holiday, and eat the damn chocolate, or an apple if thats what you like, as long as you have fun whilst you are doing it! Like a wise human once said the distance between your dreams and reality is called action.

Last Minute Mothers Day Ideas | Abigail Kate
So you have been crazy busy in work all week and completely forgot that mothers day is ~ only ~ 2 days away, or you are just absolutely awful at thinking of ideas so have completely put it off and now you are in a mad panic - also read as: me. But not to worry we are all in the same time limited boat here so I thought we might as well try and help each other out! So without further a do here are my last minute mothers day ideas:
Afternoon Tea
I know exactly what you are thinking - oh don’t be silly everywhere will be booked already! Very true. SO, do it yourself! Get your fanciest table cloth out, or at least give your kitchen side a good little wipe down, pop down to the local supermarket and buy all the sandwiches and mini cakes your hands can hold - or get a trolley - and then boom, your afternoon tea is ready. All you need to do now is pop the kettle on and have a lovely chin wag with your mum.
The Not So Distant Future Gift
If you haven’t already realised, you have pretty much ran out of time to order anything that will actually arrive before the big day. So my solution to that is - drumroll - don’t. Get her a gift that doesn’t have to be there ready to open on the day! This could be anything from a spa day, a weekend break, concert tickets, the world is your oyster.
The Sentimental Gift
Keep it simple and heartfelt with a photo album or a CD with all her favourite songs on. These are the gifts that are nice and easy to make and will really pull at the heart strings!
Keeping It Traditional
Simplicity is always best, and there is nothing wrong with keeping it traditional and getting a beautiful bunch of flowers and her favourite chocolates to say thank you. And if you are lucky enough to still live under the same roof as your mum, then chuck some bacon and eggs on in the morning and make her breakfast in bed just to top it off.
So there you go, my super easy and super simple last minute mothers day ideas! And if that fails all I ask is for you to at least get the woman a bloody card, after all she did carry you ~ inside her ~ for nine months, and lets not talk about the trauma of how she got you out!
Bye!
