Countdown

6 July 2022 Kate

As I wrote today's date on the board for my first lesson, I realised with a happy jolt that we were exactly a month away from flying from New York to Orlando. We will have already enjoyed three nights in the Big Apple and we will be heading for the Magic Kingdom. We have been… Continue reading Countdown

Sunset in the Park

5 July 2022 Kate

On Tuesdays, Evelina attends Sea Scouts at the town park in Warwick. Although we are about as far away from the sea as you can get in England, they enjoy boating, kayaking, and all manner of water activities on the River Avon. It is such a beautiful evening, I thought I would bring Harper for… Continue reading Sunset in the Park

The Wonderful Side Effect of Taking Stock

4 July 20224 July 2022 Kate

When I start writing again, I see results straight away. By writing about how I have hardly written or done any of my usual pursuits lately, it made me recognise that although it was absolutely down to my shift in focus, there was also another reason for it: my workspace had become unworkable. I started… Continue reading The Wonderful Side Effect of Taking Stock

Today’s Ta-dah List

3 July 2022 Kate

A while back, I wrote about the beauty of keeping a ta-dah list, one that notes all the accomplishments of the day (as opposed to a regular to-do list which can sometimes sit in judgment of you for the whole day as you blithely ignore it). Here is my (our) ta-dah list for today: Sold… Continue reading Today’s Ta-dah List

Keeping it Fresh

2 July 20223 July 2022 Kate

The previous incarnation of this blog, Single Glorious Thing, marked a shift in gears. As the pandemic struck in 2020, I had been struggling to find a rhythm in writing and so I tried something different. For a while, it was helpful to focus on those simple (and sometimes not so simple) pleasures and glories… Continue reading Keeping it Fresh

Halfway

1 July 20223 July 2022 Kate

It is halfway through 2022 and I haven't written a blog post since I managed to write every day for January. I thought I had cracked my writing drought but as usual, without the concrete obligation of an arbitrary challenge, I have not been able to keep it going. I haven't added any words to… Continue reading Halfway

A Little Acceptance

31 January 2022 Kate

One of my most frustrating traits is that I find it impossible to stick to a routine. I do not do the same things every day in the same order, even the most basic things. I regularly forget to put on deodorant! So when I realised I wanted to write, every single piece of advice… Continue reading A Little Acceptance

A Favourite Tree

30 January 202231 January 2022 Kate

One of the journalling prompts I had recently was to consider how trees have featured in memories and in particular, if there is a favourite tree. We were then asked to think about if we were a tree, what kind would we be. For the first one, all the trees that came to mind were… Continue reading A Favourite Tree

A Change in the World

29 January 2022 Kate

How are you changing the world? That is the question that comes with today's Bloganuary prompt. There have been a few questions that I have shied away from this month but as a teacher, I suppose there is an argument to say that I am changing the world by educating young people and teaching them… Continue reading A Change in the World
