Project Happy {Year 5}: Days 291-300

A festive edition of #projecthappy!  We’ve had the most wonderful first half of the Christmas holidays.  It’s been tiring and busy in the very best of ways and my heart is full.  Plus we still have a whole week left to go! And now we find ourselves almost at the end of 2018 and preparing…

Little Loves: December 2018

December has been the usual jam-packed and busy month of co-ordinating birthdays, school events and extra work alongside preparing for Christmas and making the magic happen.  It’s always chaotic, noisy, messy, more than a little bit stressful (and I don’t tend to sleep very much) but I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way.  There…

Project Happy {Year 5}: Days 281-290

We’ve finally finished school for the Christmas holidays and we are all SO ready for this break – it’s felt like a long term and the girls are exhausted. It’s been a lovely couple of weeks full of festive fun (in between school and work) and we’ve got even more to come.  I can’t wait…

Project Happy {Year 5}: Days 271-280

I’m still behind.  And still determinedly working to catch up whilst giving myself grace that this busy season of life is really quite ridiculous and that I don’t need to do it all. As we creep through December I’m beginning to feel more festive and we’re all looking forward to the Christmas holidays and two…

Life In 52: {Weeks 49 & 50}

At the start of January, almost a whole year ago now, I began a new twelve month long photography project: Life In 52. The idea is simple – to take one photo a week for each week of the year. It’s a lifestyle photography project, documenting little snippets of my life that I want to…

Ella: Twelve

This time last week, my eldest baby, Ella, turned twelve.  TWELVE!  How am I a mama to a twelve year old?  I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday and now suddenly we’re here, on the cusp of teenagerhood, having almost completed her first full term at high school.  I can’t quite…

Project Happy {Year 5}: Days 261-270

I am waaaaaay behind on sharing these #projecthappy updates, though I have still been capturing the moments as the days have sped past.  We’re entering into the crazy-busy season of multiple birthdays and Christmas; my therapy work ramping up in intensity in advance of the holidays; and all the school commitments to squeeze in too. …

Life In 52: {Weeks 47 & 48}

At the start of January I began a new year-long photography project: Life In 52. The idea is simple – to take one photo a week for each week of the year. It’s a lifestyle photography project, documenting little snippets of my life that I want to remember. The project is being hosted by Sarah…

Little Loves: November 2018

Gosh it’s the end of November already.  This month has felt both long and short simultaneously.  I’m not normally a fan of November – it’s a bit of an in between month full of dark, damp, cold weather and I tend to just keep my head down and get on with things.  This year we…
