Friday Focus 25/03/22 – Covid

25/03/202226/03/2022
The word 'Covid' with the 'o' and the dot over the 'i' drawn as Covid viruses

We’ve managed to avoid it for two years but Covid has finally hit our house. Hubby tested positive on Tuesday evening and while the children and I are still currently testing negative, I’ve been feeling pretty grotty today so I’m expecting my result to change at some point. Hubby’s not been too bad, mostly feeling… Read More

Friday Focus 18/03/22 – Drained

18/03/202220/03/2022
The word drained in white with a little bit of blue at the bottom, like the blue has been drained from the word

I’m feeling a little drained this week. Lots of emotions swirling around making me feel emotionally drained, and a few too many balls to juggle leaving me physically drained.     It’s to be expected in some ways. We’re coming up to the fourth anniversary of Jessica’s death, which is just under a month away,… Read More

Siblings – March 2022

16/03/202215/03/2022
Sophie and Thomas sitting on the sofa with an image of Jessica from her photo blanket draped on the sofa behind them. There is a cushion that says 'Sophie' next to Sophie and another one that says 'Jessica' on the opposite side, next to the photo of Jessica

The news in recent weeks has been another reminder of how very precious the ordinary everyday moments of family life are. I’ve certainly been holding Sophie and Thomas a little bit tighter and doing my best to treasure the moments we have together. Admittedly not all moments are ones to be treasured and my patience… Read More

Friday Focus 11/03/22 – Spring

11/03/202212/03/2022
The word 'spring' in green with a daffodil forming the 'p' and a flower making the dot over the 'i'

Spring is in the air this week. It’s lovely to see daffodils, primroses and crocuses appearing in the garden and blossom on the trees. The evenings are definitely starting to get lighter again which is always nice. We’ve been making the most of the nicer weather this week and enjoying time outdoors. Thomas has had… Read More

Treasuring the moments

09/03/202214/03/2022
Sophie and Thomas on a seesaw at the park

I generally like mornings. Unless I’ve been disturbed multiple times through the night and wake up super-grumpy, this is the time of day when I’ve generally got the best reserves of energy and patience. Since the start of the year, we’ve been trying to have a few minutes of ‘snuggle time’ first thing in the… Read More

Friday Focus 04/03/22 – Lent

04/03/202218/03/2022
The word 'Lent' in brown

This week has been a busy one with the start of Lent and being involved in organising various church activities happening during Lent. It’s also been a busy week with various meetings as well. Given the busyness of my calendar and to-do list at the moment, I did wonder if I’ll be giving up sleep… Read More

Me and Mine – February 2022

28/02/202207/03/2022
Me, my husband (holding a photo of Jessica), Sophie and Thomas sitting on a bench at Torquay with the sea and boats in the background

February has been a bit of a rollercoaster of a month overall. There have been some lovely family moments together but also moments of feeling anxious or overwhelmed. World events over the last couple of weeks have made me realise anew how fragile normal everyday life can be, and how precious those little ordinary family… Read More
