Friday Focus 06/10/2023 – Tetris

06/10/202308/10/2023
The word 'Tetris' doodled as a series of Tetris blocks

My mind feels like an unending game of Tetris is going on inside it at the moment. As soon as one thing slots into place on the mental to-do list, another thing appears that I need to try and make headspace for. Too much juggling going on, and it feels like a battle to keep… Read More

Friday Focus 29/09/2023 – Baking

The word baking with a cupcake doodled in place of the 'i' and a baker's hat doodled over the 'g'

I’ve been busy baking this week for coffee mornings and cake sales. We had a Girls’ Brigade coffee morning last weekend so I made cheese scones and tea loaf. Thomas had to bring in cakes for the school cake sale this week so I made cupcakes for that and then tomorrow is the Boys’ Brigade… Read More

Friday Focus 22/09/2023 – Solo

22/09/202323/09/2023
The word 'solo' with the propeller of a doodled biplane forming the 'o'

I’m flying solo again at the moment as my husband is away on work trips until the beginning of October. On the plus side this week has been a quieter one than usual as Sophie’s dance classes have been cancelled due to the hall being repainted so there’s been less rushing around getting her to… Read More

Friday Focus 15/09/2023 – Tidying

The word 'tidying' in shades of pink with a doodle of a basket of children's toys above the "ing"

With Sophie and Thomas back at school, I’ve been focusing on tidying this week – sorting out all the clutter that built up over the summer holidays and chipping away at the clutter that’s been around for much longer. The house is looking so much better for it and I definitely feel calmer sitting and… Read More

Friday Focus 08/09/2023 – Bittersweet

08/09/202309/09/2023
The word "Bittersweet" in lilac bubble writing.

The end of the summer holidays and the start of the new school year is a bittersweet time. Making the most of the last few days of having Sophie and Thomas around during the day, doing fun things and enjoying the moments we have together, followed by the sadness that always comes with going back… Read More

Darling Jessica,   Today is your 12th birthday. Twelve years ago today you came into the world, bringing joy with you. I remember the moment you arrived so vividly; the elation at hearing your first cry and the tears of joy as I got to have that first, brief cuddle with you. The joy of… Read More

Friday Focus 01/09/2023 – Relaxed

01/09/202303/09/2023
The word 'relaxed' in light blue with darker blue wavy lines.

Show week is done and dusted, and we’ve been taking this last week of the summer holidays at a nice relaxed pace after all the activity of the last few weeks. Normally, I’d be trying to pack these last few days with activities and days out, but I think we’ve all needed the slower pace… Read More
