Sometimes I blog about things that aren’t just about music… Surprise!
Here you will find all that fall into the category and other half of the name… ‘n what not’ posts!
These posts are often formed from conversations i’ve had with my husband, friends, family. Conversations I wish I had or didn’t need to have. Real life experiences including the ones that are usually hidden away with the skeletons. They are even things I have thought “I wonder if anyone else does/like this” or “I wish I knew this when I…”
So welcome and jump in to the other side of Music n What Not (that was briefly The Unlucky Coeliac)
Motherhood. Finding my style again. Mental Health. City Breaks. Tattoos. Home Decor. Our Experience with the Education System. Studying. Life as a Coeliac in Birmingham, UK. Holidays. Married Life. Autism. Sharing Awareness.
