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...

The Happy List #11

January 22, 2024

It’s a wet and windy Monday here, which is putting a dampener on my desire to get out in the garden. I have some tidying jobs to get done ahead of our new shed coming, and beds to fill with fresh compost in anticipation of spring. We’ve spent the morning working, now the boys are...

A view from home. I took two of the girls back to the village where I grew up this weekend. My Dad lived there, in the same house, until he died, and my brother is still in the village. We’re in the midst of sorting out my Dad’s house so that we’ll be able to...

The Happy List #5

November 13, 2023

Mondays seem to roll around quickly right now! We’ve just gotten home from Beastie’s swimming lesson, the kids are playing for an hour while I do some work, then they’ve got a lesson to do in a while! The sun has come out, although the wind is blowing like crazy. It’s been a good weekend,...

The Happy List #4

May 5, 2023

It’s a Friday that doesn’t feel like a Friday – a Bank Holiday has thrown me off! I’m sat listening to the rain pouring down, thankful I grabbed my laundry just in time and chuckling at the chickens hiding under the trampoline. We’ve been enjoying the {mosty} better weather and longer nights, getting in much...

The Happy List #3

April 18, 2023

I’m sitting in the living room, some music playing, incense burning, taking some time to just breathe. The girls are home – one in their room, one baking in the kitchen. The boys are with their Dad. It’s quiet and peaceful. I’m leaning into listening to myself. Enjoying the peace. Embracing change. Learning to be...
