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…

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:…

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…

Project Happy {Year 6}: Days 21-30

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…

Project Happy {Year 6}: Days 11-20

A weird week full of illness and sad news and big decisions and trying to keep up with crazy school and sport and work schedules.  A very ordinary collection of photographs but capturing each one really has helped me survive these last few days.  Sometimes it’s the little things that matter the most.

Project Happy {Year 6}: Days 1-10

I’ll be honest.  Life has been a bit…challenging, recently. Looking forward to our annual trip to our happy place in Cornwall is one thing currently keeping me going.  The other thing is this project.  Committing to find a moment of joy in each day, no matter how difficult that day feels, redirects my attention to…

Project Happy {Year 5}: Days 351-365

Half term fun, an utterly glorious week of ‘false Spring’ (that I’m now mourning the loss of), spectacular skies and the end of the fifth full year of capturing a moment of joy every single day – I think that pretty much sums up this collection of Project Happy images. I honestly never thought I’d…

Project Happy {Year 5}: Days 341-350

The first half of February seemed to disappear in the blink of an eye and now here we are almost at the end of the month already.  The theme for this edition of Project Happy seems to be the beautiful light we’ve been having recently – I’ve never known February to be anything other than…

Project Happy {Year 5}: Days 331-340

January has morphed into February, the promise of Spring is just around the corner and things are changing.  I can feel it.  Spectacular skies have been a welcome regular occurrence though day to day we’ve really just been keeping our heads down and quietly getting on with life. These images show that there is still…

Project Happy {Year 5}: Days 321-330

Truthfully?  I’m finding the lack of outdoor adventures these last couple of months particularly hard.  Being outside, even when it’s freezing cold and I can’t feel my fingers or toes or face, is absolutely vital for my mental wellbeing.  It feels like such a waste of time staying inside when we could be out making…
