My list of 19 things for 2019 was a total success. I allowed it to be a success by changing up some of the items on the list. I didn't see the point of ignoring all the things that I had managed to achieve just so that I could stick doggedly to (and fail at)… Continue reading My List of 20 in 2020
I did two things I haven't done before with regard to my yearly list of goals: a) I changed some of the goals mid-year to align with things that became more important to me as the year went one (in the past, I have doggedly stuck to my original list); and b) I completed my… Continue reading Finishing up my 19 for 2019
This year I have been enjoying the Happier with Gretchen Rubin podcast as well as Happier in Hollywood. Gretchen and Liz (her TV writer sister) are creating 18 for 2018 lists and since I have been missing my birthday lists, I thought I'd jump on board. I have made most of them finite things I can do… Continue reading 18 for 2018
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 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
Over the Easter holiday break, we went away as a family of four for the first time. I had put off making the decision about whether or not to go since I wasn't sure what kind of baby Austin was going to be and I am still not sure about this - people ask me… Continue reading Our First Family Trip as Four

One of my 39 Things was to take a photo a day for a week which I did last week. Using the prompts from Fat Mum Slim, these are my photos: I am getting on well with my list of 39 Things so far this summer and today I am starting the A Week in the… Continue reading A Week of Photo a Day
I have always been tempted to start some kind of scrapbook but had never really been attracted to the amount of fuss that goes along with it so when a blogger I follow, Elise Blaha Cripe, started sharing her Project Life spreads, I was intrigued. The system, developed by Becky Higgins, uses plastic wallets which… Continue reading Starting Project Life
Tonight was the penultimate sew make believe meeting at Berylune. Whilst others cross-stitched, knitted and crocheted, took my laptop and wrote student reports. I didn't have time to not work and I didn't have time to get something together to make. It was still lovely to catch up with my ladies, laughing, drinking tea and… Continue reading Penultimate
