Happy new year and welcome back to Country Kids. I hope that you are all keeping well and had a good Christmas.

Happy New Year! 2020 was my fifth year taking part in a daily gratitude challenge. Finding one little thing to be thankful for each day has now become part of my daily routine and has helped me through some of the hardest days of my life. It hasn’t always been easy, especially since losing my… Read More

I’d hoped at the start of this month that our family photo for December would be taken at Coombe Mill on Christmas Day. Sadly, the rise in coronavirus cases and our area going into Tier 4 a few days before we were due to go meant that our only break away this year had to… Read More

Taking on the 1000 hours outside challenge

I love getting outside with my children and the importance of having plenty of outdoor time is something that I feel quite strongly about. At the start of the year, we joined in with Thimble and Twig and The Ladybird’s Adventures for their ‘Wild about Winter’ challenge where they shared a different activity to get… Read More

At the start of 2016, inspired by a friend, I started a daily gratitude challenge – posting one thing that I was thankful for each day on Instagram. I enjoyed it so much that when I reached the end of that year, I carried on and have kept going ever since. Finding one little thing… Read More

Friday Focus 18/12/20 – Overstretched

18/12/202018/12/2020
The word 'overstretched'

I’m currently at that point in the festive season where the to-do list looks overwhelming, there don’t appear to be quite enough hours available in the day and I’m feeling somewhat overstretched.
