Friday Focus 09/05/2025 – Proud

The word 'Proud' in purple bubble writing

I’ve had a few proud mummy moments this week with both Sophie and Thomas.     Sophie had a busy weekend with Girls’ Brigade activities as she had the junior sleepover weekend followed by a trip into London for the VE Day 80 celebrations on Monday, where she had been selected, along with two other… Read More

The brighter, warmer weather this week has definitely had an effect on my mood and I feel like I’m emerging again from the grief-storms and challenging moments of the last few weeks with a bit more energy and positivity.     Getting out and about for a nice walk in the sunshine is always a… Read More

The word 'trying' in pink bubble writing

I’ve gone for trying for my word of the week this week – in both senses of the word. It’s been quite an intense week emotionally with trying moments and grief-storms and I’ve been trying to be kind to myself while struggling with various emotions.     It’s perhaps not too surprising that the grief-storms… Read More

This week has been a busy one, mostly focusing on dance as Sophie has been competing in two different dance festivals as well as performing in Made in Dagenham.

The word 'theatricals' in white against a stage backdrop

It’s been a week of focusing on theatricals with various rehearsals and preparations for upcoming performances.     It’s show week for Sophie as she’s performing in Made in Dagenham tonight and tomorrow and we’ve had all the excitement of getting into the theatre and the tech and dress rehearsals. My husband has been involved… Read More

The word 'Lighter' in increasingly lighter shades of blue

We’ve been making the most of the lovely sunshine and the lighter evenings this week and have enjoyed a couple of late afternoon trips to the park. The nice weather has helped make my mood a little lighter this week too. There have been grief-storms, but there have been lots of nice moments too and… Read More

Friday Focus 28/03/2025 – Time

28/03/202528/03/2025
The word 'time' in pink bubble writing with the 'i' drawn as a watch

It’s been nice to have some little pockets of time to do various things this week. Sophie’s ballet class was cancelled last Friday which meant that we had time to get the scooters out and go to the park after school rather than the usual rush to get out to activities.     Sophie enjoyed… 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.
