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 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...

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...

Happy Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend, mine was very slow – I had the first migraine I’ve had in over 6 months and it really hit me hard. Thankfully we didn’t have a busy weekend planned, so I was able to rest and let my body recover. It was a good reminder...

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...

The Happy List #1

February 7, 2023
Browsing through old posts the other day, I remembered how much I loved writing the ‘Three Good Things‘ posts. Taking a little time each week to look back on the good things that had happened, giving gratitude for this life and slowing down enough to notice. So…. here’s the first of The Happy List. I...
