Friday Focus 18/11/2022 – Plodding

18/11/202219/11/2022
The word 'plodding' in red with the 'dd' drawn as two red welly boots with yellow spots

We’re just plodding along this week. One of those weeks of being a bit tired and going through the motions, getting things done that need doing and getting through the week as best we can.     Thomas is feeling better this week and was back at school again but Sophie has been unwell with… Read More

Friday Focus 11/11/2022 – Unwell

The word 'unwell' in green

We’ve been at home at lot this week as Thomas has been unwell and off school with a cold and a temperature. He’s had moments of perking up during the day and seemed well enough Wednesday morning to go back to school but was then sent home at lunchtime. I’m hoping that the weekend will… Read More

Me and Mine – October 2022

10/11/2022
Me, Thomas, Sophie (holding a photo of Jessica) and my husband in front of the river at Denham Country Park

October was another busy month with me rehearsing two shows and Sophie performing in a dance festival and celebrating her ninth birthday. Thomas is enjoying school and making friends. Life is very full – a little too full at times, to be honest! I keep thinking, “it will all settle down again after…” with various… Read More

Friday Focus 04/11/2022 – Jam-packed

The word 'jam-packed' in multi-coloured bubble letters

It’s been a very busy couple of weeks, jam-packed with half-term activities, two sets of show rehearsals for me, a dance festival for Sophie plus all the celebrations that came with her ninth birthday. It’s been full-on and exhausting at times, but we’ve had a lot of fun too.     I’m currently rehearsing for… Read More

Friday Focus 21/10/2022 – Unsettled

21/10/202222/10/2022
The word 'unsettled' in blue

I’ve been feeling unsettled lately. It’s down to a combination of things – various curveballs being thrown my way here and there, audition anxiety, grief, not sleeping well (probably due to all those things!) and a couple of unexpected triggers which have brought back some unpleasant memories. My head feels a bit too full of… Read More

Siblings – October 2022

20/10/2022
Sophie and Thomas cuddling on the sofa next to a photo of Jessica from her photo blanket

The first half-term of the school year is almost done and as always, it seems to have gone by rather quickly. Thomas has enjoyed his first half term at school and Sophie is enjoying being in year 4. Jessica’s year group are away on a residential school trip this week. I wonder how she would… Read More

Friday Focus 07/10/2022 – Shows

07/10/202209/10/2022
The word 'shows' drawn on a stage background

I’ve been enjoying getting back into rehearsing for shows again over the last couple of weeks. We had our show anniversary concert at the end of September and it was lovely to have Sophie taking part in that too with other children from the Girls’ and Boys’ Brigades. Since then pre-audition rehearsals have started for… Read More

I'm Louise, mummy of three - Jessica, forever six, who was born with half a heart and lives on in mine; and heart-healthy Sophie (born 2013) and Thomas (born 2018). I blog about living with grief after child loss, crafts, days out and the little moments of family life.
