The Happy List #16

March 18, 2024

I woke up to sunshine streaming through my curtains this morning {and a cat meowing to be let out}. Blue skies always make me smile, especially when it’s the start of the day. Isn’t it amazing what a difference some sun makes to how we feel?! There’s a lot going on behind the scenes here,...

The Happy List #14

February 26, 2024

February is almost at a close, and I am so happy to be seeing signs of spring around us. I’ve not been feeling good for a while now, but have been trying to pretend all is OK. Truth be told I am burnt out, having lived through trauma that I’ve not addressed truly, my body...

The Happy List #12

January 29, 2024

Ah Monday! I didn’t burst into the week full of energy – instead, I crawled very slowly. Somehow, I’ve managed to get through the day, and I’m now sat at my desk while the boys play, trying to get through as much work as I can before I have to make dinner. Some days trying...

December 1, 2023

It’s a cold and frosty morning, the sunrise this morning was beautiful as I lay on my bed with a cup of tea, my book and a cat curled at my side. The boys are with their Dad, so I had a little space to myself. An early morning trip to the tip {such a...

The Happy List #7

November 27, 2023

We managed a little road trip to visit my eldest at Uni the other day, stopping off at the beach on the way. I’m super tired this week, sleep seems somewhat elusive and I am snowed under with work. Excitement levels are building rapidly now December is almost here – the countdown to opening advent...

November Journal Prompts

November 17, 2023

“The house was very quiet, and the fog—we are in November now—pressed against the windows like an excluded ghost.” E.M. Forster A little late sharing these, the first two weeks of November have flown by! It’s been pretty wet and cold here, pretty miserable and we’ve been holed up at home far more than I...
