We're on the same wavelength, that's for sure! I love love love to clean up as I go along, and then it's just the last bits and a final clean-and-sparkle of the sink and draining board before my after-supper cuppa.

I am obsessed with the whole process of cooking - time in the kitchen is my favourite 'me time' - and I love to organise, plan, prep, cook and clear up the entire household catering programme by myself. I share the enjoyment of the results with others, though, natch! 😊

I love time in the kitchen too. It can be so therapeutic

I have a question about paid subscribers. What is they pay for a year and then after a few months all paid posts become free posts?

Hi Evie, from the beginning of August I made a decision that all articles going forward will be free to read for everyone. Before then, I wrote some posts for paid subscribers only. But the schedule I'd set out was too much to handle and I felt like it was affecting the quality of my writing. By saying "everything is now free" means I can be more flexible with my schedule because I'm not beholden to a promised schedule for paid subscribers.

For now, the articles I wrote for paid subscribers BEFORE August are still behind the paywall, whilst I consider what to do with those.

Long story short, you no longer have to pay to read anything I write in S+S from this moment forth.

I hope that makes sense!

We clean as we go too! It’s been such a game changer, especially when we have young children to contend with on an evening - bath time, reading, bedtime etc. it means we can get straight to that, rather than spending ages clearing up.

That’s so interesting about switching to free to take the pressure off. If you don’t mind me asking, did you find that you lost a number of paid subscribers/ have you had any further paid subs since? I’d love to do something similar to reduce the burden, especially while baby is so tiny, but I also need the money 😅
