The seasons are beginning to shift. Temperatures dropping, the first frost. The stillness of winter slowly starting to settle in. After weeks of rain it’s actually quite welcome. We haven’t been doing very much recently and I’ve been trying to enjoy the slower pace before the busy festive season kicks in. Here are my quietly…
The start of November was a bit of a whirlwind with the end of half term, going back to school, two trips to London, family coming to visit from overseas (no photos – we were too busy chatting and catching up with each other’s news!), the ongoing house-moving saga and a very special 18th birthday…
I have been dropping the ball on so many things recently, and keeping up to date with Project Happy posts has slipped down the list of priorities out of necessity. The girls were so very ready for October half term – they were desperatly in ned of a rest and some proper family time after…
Still waiting for a moving date, still raining every day, still not much going on because we feel like we’re in limbo, but still finding joy in the every day. Here are my happy, ordinary, magical moments from mid-October…

Things are just pootling on as normal here at the moment. School, work, kids, life admin. Nothing particularly noteworthy or fun.

September seems to have disappeared in a flash – we’re already three quarters of the way through and here I am belatedly sharing photos from the beginning of the month. A few final adventures whilst we still had the freedom of the summer holidays, followed by the transition back to school and settling back into…
September has arrived and the girls are back at school so I’m just over here reminiscing about the final stretch of the summer holidays that already feels like forever ago. Weeks five and six were a lot of fun and we loved having the teenager with us for a few days too. Here are our…
Weeks four and five of the summer holidays brought mixed weather, mixed moods and mixed success with outings – we had some brilliant fun and some awful arguments, some glorious sunshine and some torrential rain. But, as I am constantly being reminded, the happy moments are there if you look for them, even if they’re…
