And just like that, November was over in a blink. It’s been an odd month with a real mix of emotions. I’ve not really felt like picking up my camera very much at all this last week which is very unlike me. I’ve just been feeling a bit down and so for the first time ever…
This instalment of Project Happy feels very subdued as we lost our beautiful boy Pumpkin. It’s always tough to find joy when you’ve lost someone or something you love. It is there though. And this project is proof of that.
Somehow another ten days have passed without me quite knowing where they’ve gone or what I’ve done with my time. It’s been a bit of a blur of poorly children; various workmen coming in and out of the house over the course of several days to fix our broken washing machine and replace our leaky…
A double installment of #projecthappy! I decided not to post one whilst we were away on holiday – it felt like a better choice to wait until we were home and then sum it all up in one go and as I’m writing this now I know it was the right decision. We had a…
I honestly don’t know where this first half of October has gone. Since getting home from Colorado life has felt even more hectic than normal and I’m craving some quiet time to gather my thoughts and actually rest.

I’m well over half way through this fourth year of Project Happy and it still surprises me that I’ve kept going for so long. It’s second nature to me now and I can’t imagine not having it as a part of my life. This week has felt better – we’re back in our familiar routine and…
The start of September is always a transition period. The change of season from Summer to Autumn, the shift from having the girls with me 24/7 to them being back at school, and the distinct change in myself as I move between all the different roles I occupy, trying to keep track of everything I…
The end of the summer holidays is upon us. The next #projecthappy post will be once the girls are all back at school and we’re firmly settled back into the routine of school runs, after school clubs and homework. It’s been a lovely final burst of adventures and as I look back through all the…
And just like that we’re over two thirds of the way through the summer holidays, with less than two weeks left before the girls go back to school. I really don’t want them to go back. I know I keep saying it but I honestly don’t know where the time is going. 2017 seems to…
