Happy hump day! This week’s been great so far for us… hope your week is going swimmingly too?? G has the week of work, and as it’s been lovely and sunny we’re busy getting the garden ship shape ready for summer. I’ve also made him a nice long list of jobs around the house that need doing too {I’m sure he’s thrilled ha!!} We’ve a couple of home ed groups this week, plus some social get-togethers, add in a tonne of work for me and we’re busy little bees. It’s amazing how much more productive we all are when there are blue skies though – getting out of bed has been so much easier this week – plus I can see those evenings starting to lengthen which makes me oh so happy too.

Here are a few good things that have been making me happy lately

Work – maybe a funny one to be happy for, but I’ve been feeling so grateful this week that I get to do a job that I really love, and that allows me to stay home with my babies. I work my ass off – working from home and homeschooling four kiddos isn’t an easy mix, with no childcare/house help but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

A lie-in – yes, I kid you not! Last week I actually had a lie-in. I couldn’t tell you how long since the last, but it was very much appreciated! G got up with Vega after a rare 7am start, took him to the supermarket and I woke up to fruit salad and fresh croissants for breakfast. Bliss.

Sunshine – I said it above, but the sunshine really does make me happy. I think I probably have a bit of SAD over the winter, sun and blue skies equal a much chirpier Polly

Home ed groups – I’ve a lovely group of friends at our home ed groups, it’s amazing having a bunch of like-minded families around to chat to. General chit-chat as well as home ed stuff, I’d be lost without my support network.

New cook books – nothing beats a bit of fresh dinner inspo! I’ve been having a sneak peak at Elly Pear’s ‘Feast Days & Fast Days’ which is out in April, it’s really inspired me to add in some new meals and try out some new ideas.

A new {to me} TV show – finally started watching LOVE on Netflix and it is OH. SO. GOOD!!

What’s on your happy list this week?
