Today is day 12 of my #100daysofwritinghappy and one of the unexpected aspects of this challenge is choosing what to write about each day. When I stop and think, I realise just how many things bring me joy. For today's writing, I wanted to write a really specific list of things that make me happy:… Continue reading A Happy List
Today is Day 10 of #The100DayProject and I am so enjoying the chance to write happy every day. Today, I am going to bed tired and feeling a bit down for a number of (trifling) reasons so I struggled to think of something to write that made me happy. Then I remembered I hadn't updated… Continue reading Writing Happy
Today is the first day of #The100DayProject which is run by Elle Luna and Lindsay Jean Thomson. Last year, I took on too much at a time when Austin was still pretty young. I am not sure I have any less on my plate now, being back to work and balancing all that, but I… Continue reading 100 Days of Writing Happy
Woken at 8am - oh no it's 9am (thanks daylight savings) with cuppa, cards (three from Lina and one from Austin) and a fab present (a cinema light box which I am super stoked about). Rush to get ready for church - Evelina's first Rainbows service.Church - nice hymns and people. Evelina told the congregation… Continue reading My Mother’s Day
I am finding my Bullet Journal very helpful in making my days at home feel more purposeful and less aimless. I haven't yet worked it into my school life as the days go by too quickly and a simple to-do list on my laptop or my to-do list pad seems to work well enough. My BuJo… Continue reading Bullet Journal – March Update
I am really enjoying working on the weekly Project Life spreads for this year. I am noticing that I am able to add much more journaling compared to the historic album I am working on (currently at July 2015). Our printer has decided to be awkward so I will either have to send off the… Continue reading Project Life 2017 Weeks 2-6
I can hardly believe it but this is the last week of term which means I have been back at work now for a whole half term (that sounds like an oxymoron!). It has FLOWN by. Working two days a week is splendid in a lot of ways: the working week is over before you… Continue reading Back to Work
Let me start with an apology: Mum and Dad, I am sorry that I chided you numerous times for not having as many photos of me as a baby as you did of my (older) brother. I know you had your reasons but I also know this (hopefully pretty universal) truth: the second child does… Continue reading Austin’s First Year
I am still slowly working through my project life albums from 2015 onwards but I thought that since we are starting a new year, I would get my 2017 album started right now and try to keep on top of it as doing a week at a time is (theoretically) quicker and easier than trying… Continue reading Project Life 2017 Week 1
Despite a valiant last push at the end of 2016, I (YET AGAIN!) did not manage to reach my goal of 50 books in a year. I did manage to equal my personal best of 41 books so I'm pretty pleased about that because despite what some people might think, reading on maternity leave is… Continue reading 2017 Reading Challenge
