It feels like a long time since my last Project Happy post – we’ve been away on holiday to our favourite place in Cornwall and come home again since then! It’s been a really lovely second half of the Easter holidays and exactly what we all needed – fresh air, lots of walks by the…
March has felt like the longest month ever. Today marks the start of the Easter holidays but honestly I thought they would never arrive – the days were passing by but the end of term just didn’t seem to be getting any closer, even though it’s only been a short half term. It’s been quite…
As a family of six, with all of us being very different and unique individuals, finding a holiday that suits us all can be tricky and it often takes a huge amount of planning and research to find something that works for everyone. It’s usually down to me to book our holidays, and with four…
We are halfway through January already and, as ever, I’m not really sure where the weeks have gone. They seem to have passed by in a bit of a fog of flu (the husband, Ella and Lola this time – Mimi had it over Christmas and thoughtfully shared it with them. I’m still germ-free thank…

I know better than to plan in too much detail (I’ve learnt from experience!) as the weather will inevitably get in the way of certain…
Hi guys! I hope you enjoyed my last blog post about our holiday in Bude! Today’s post is a story that I did for my homework. Originally it was just something I started writing and never finished, but then we were learning about the Radio 2 Five Hundred Words story competition, and my teacher decided to let…
Today is Father’s Day. I wrote this post last year all about the wonderful Dad’s that my family and I are lucky enough to have in our lives and to be honest, there’s not really much more I can add to it – everything I wrote before still holds true. I’m still finding it hard not having my…
