May 2019: The Moments In Between

I take hundreds of photos every month, and most of them don’t get shared with anyone, let alone online.  And yet the moments in time that those photos capture are just as important a part of our story as the other images that I do choose to share. I originally created this blog as a…

Project Happy {Year 6}: Days 71-80

Despite it only being a short three and a half weeks between the Easter holidays and the next school break, we were all very ready for half term by the time it rolled around.  The days leading up to it were crammed full of lovely moments and celebrations amidst the chaos.  I love all of…

Little Loves: May 2019

May felt like a total whirlwind of a month.  We got home from our annual Easter trip to Cornwall at the end of April and exactly one month later we jetted off to Boston for May half term!  The girls had precisely sixteen days of actual school (plus weekends in between) and during that time…

Project Happy {Year 6}: Days 61-70

Happy moments from early May:  birthday celebrations, beautiful sunrises and late night performances. I’m working to catch up on, well, pretty much everything in life at the moment.  It’s been a whirlwind month in all sorts of ways but I’m ready to get my head back in the game now I think. Looking back on…

40 Things Before I’m 40: Annual Update (2019)

On my 33rd birthday three years ago,  I posted a list of 40 things I want to do, achieve and experience before I turn 40 years old in 2023. I’d originally started the list when I turned thirty but I hadn’t launched my blog at that point so it existed solely in the relative privacy…

Project Happy {Year 6}: Days 51-60

For the last few months I’ve been perpetually behind on sharing these little happy moments but I am still capturing them daily, behind the scenes of ordinary, everyday life. The vast majority of these photos were taken on my phone which at first I was not comfortable with at all, before I realised that at…

April 2019: The Moments In Between

I take hundreds of photos every month, and most of them don’t get shared with anyone, let alone online. And yet the moments in time that those photos capture are just as important a part of our story as the other images that I do choose to share. I originally created this blog as a…

Project Happy {Year 6}: Days 41-50

A holiday edition of Project Happy!  During the Easter holidays we spent a glorious ten days in our happy place by the sea in Bude in North Cornwall and it was exactly what we all needed after months of stress.  It wasn’t without it’s challenges of course (because what holiday is?!) but it didn’t matter:…

Little Loves: April 2019

April has been a month of two halves.  The Easter holidays couldn’t have arrived quickly enough after an intense fortnight of complete and utter chaos in the lead up to them.  Work and school were overwhelmingly busy for each of us and there was some kind of event (sporting-, acting- or house-related) happening on almost…

Project Happy {Year 6}: Days 31-40

The start of April and the lead up to the Easter holidays was ridiculously busy with both school and work and my brain was so full that I had no headspace to do anything other than get through each day.  I switched off as much as I could during our annual trip to Cornwall and…
