Friday Focus 14/02/2020 – A challenging week

14/02/202013/02/2020
The word 'challenges' in purple

I’m flying solo at the moment as hubby is in Australia on a work trip. I’m used to the normal challenges that this brings, although this week seems to have been full of extra challenges to deal with.     It all started with hubby’s car breaking down when he went to leave work on… Read More

Throughout January, we had fun getting outdoors and joining in with The Ladybirds’ Adventures and Thimble and Twig for their Wild about Winter challenge. Each day had a suggested activity for winter outdoor fun. It was a great way to encourage us to get out each day and we all loved it. These are some… Read More

A picture of a blue dragonfly on a reed with the text "#366daysofgratitude 2020"

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 07/02/2020 – Making the most of the ordinary moments

07/02/202006/02/2020
The word 'ordinary'

We’ve been making the most of the ordinary moments this week; enjoying the everyday moments of family life before hubby flies off to Australia on Sunday for a two-week work trip. The run-up to work trips is often a hectic time but this time it hasn’t been quite as crazy as usual. We’ve managed to… Read More

Throughout January, we had fun getting outdoors and joining in with The Ladybirds’ Adventures and Thimble and Twig for their Wild about Winter challenge.

From the mouths of babes: February 2020

05/02/202004/02/2020
Jessica as a toddler with a speech bubble saying "From the mouths of babes"

From the mouths of babes is an occasional feature capturing some of the things my children say. It originally started as a weekly linky but as this gradually fizzled out, I stopped recording those little sayings and found I missed it. One of the things that I love about my blog is that it has… Read More
