Friday Focus 15/01/21 – Milestone

The word 'milestone' with a cartoon of Thomas standing in front of his cot

We’ve had a milestone moment with Thomas this week as he’s moved from a cot into a toddler bed. We hadn’t intended to convert the cot to a bed just yet but then Thomas worked out how to climb out and that was that. Getting him to settle down and go to sleep in his… Read More

Friday Focus 08/01/21 – Lockdown

08/01/202108/01/2021
The word lockdown with padlocks drawn as the 'o's

We’re back in lockdown again and back to home-schooling for Sophie. I was very thankful that we had an inset day on Monday – although I’d already made the decision that Sophie would not be going back to school on Tuesday before the PM made his announcement on Monday evening.     Home-schooling has been… 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. The calendar for December is the emptiest it’s ever been and yet it feels like the run-up to Christmas has been busier this… Read More

04/12/202004/12/2020

Advent is a time for preparation and the last couple of weeks have been busy preparing for various things. Obviously, the preparation for Christmas is underway – most of the presents have now been bought and are waiting to be wrapped; cards are being written and the decorations have been brought down from the loft… Read More

Friday Focus 20/11/20 – Gentle

20/11/202024/11/2020
The word 'gentle'

The storm isn’t raging quite so fiercely this week as it was last week. I’ve been trying to be gentle with myself; to let myself feel what I need to feel, to do what I need to do to make the days a little easier (even if that ends up being turkey drummers, chips and… Read More

Friday Focus 13/11/20 – Struggling

13/11/202013/11/2020
The word 'struggling'

I’m struggling with this second lockdown to be honest. I don’t know why really, the changes in our day-to-day life didn’t really feel all that big and I felt well prepared for them.  Maybe I’m just hitting exhaustion levels overall – feeling tired of life being restricted, tired of not being able to visit family,… Read More

Friday Focus 06/11/20 – Hectic

06/11/202006/11/2020
The word 'hectic'

Half-term was rather a hectic time for us with Sophie’s birthday in the middle of it, plus trying to juggle work and other commitments whilst making the most of being able to have time with Sophie. I didn’t manage to find time to write our weekly update last week and nearly didn’t manage it this… Read More
