It rained endlessly for the whole of the first half of June. Non-stop. It made the post-adventure blues slightly more tricky to overcome but, on the whole, the process of settling back into school and work and normal routines after our trip to Boston was easy enough, with no real jet lag to speak of…
A Boston edition of Project Happy! It was so tricky narrowing down which particular photo to share for each day as we experienced many moments of joy during our adventures in the US. It was hard work too, but totally worth it for the memories we made and the fun we had together. I’m so…
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…
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…
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.

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:…
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…
