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…
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…
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…
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…
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…

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:…
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…
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…
It has been an absolutely mad few weeks. A flying visit to Spain for my Grannie’s funeral; a nasty tummy bug that flattened both Mimi and the husband for several days; ongoing issues with the kitchen repair/refurbishment following the fire seven weeks ago; the logistics of managing multiple after school club/sports/rehearsal commitments; plus a crazy…
