Friday Focus 12/05/17 – Celebration time!

12/05/201711/05/2017
Celebration - this week's word of the week. A cartoon of the word "celebration" with doodles of a graduation cap, wine glasses and a birthday candle

There’s been a couple of reasons for celebration this week. The first was my birthday. I always like to try and celebrate it with my twin sister on the weekend nearest to our birthday. We had a lovely time last Saturday visiting family and enjoying a birthday barbecue at Auntie Fizz’s house.   Hubby took… Read More

Friday Focus 05/05/17 – Being thankful for the here and now

05/05/201704/05/2017
Thankful - this week's word of the week. A cartoon of the word thankful with drawings of me having a scan and me giving Jessica a cuddle

On 4th May 2011 I woke in the early hours of the morning and cried as I remembered the events of the previous day. Scared for my unborn baby’s future, scared of the journey that lay ahead. I wished I could wake in the morning and find it had all been a bad dream.  … Read More

Friday Focus 28/04/17 – Returning and revisiting memories

28/04/201728/04/2017
A doodle of the word "Returning" - this week's word of the week - with a cartoon Sophie doing sign language and a thought bubble with a cartoon version of me and hubby wearing graduation gowns and caps

​This week has seen us returning to activities we used to love and places we once lived in. TinyTalk baby and toddler signing classes were part of my routine for more than four years until our teacher went on maternity leave. She’s now running classes again and Sophie and I loved being at the toddler… Read More

Friday Focus 21/04/17 – Easing back into the normal routine

21/04/201721/04/2017
A doodle of the word "Easing" with a school bag hanging off the 'E' and a heat pad resting on the bottom of the 'g' - this week's word of the week

We’ve been easing back in to our normal routine with the girls returning to school and preschool after the Easter bank holiday weekend. It’s been good to start the new school term with a shorter week. The house felt very quiet on Tuesday with my big girl at school but knowing that the weekend was… Read More

Friday Focus 14/04/17 – Catching up with family

14/04/201713/04/2017
A doodle of my girls having fun with their cousins with the word "Family" - this week's word of the week

One of my favourite things about the holidays is being able to spend time catching up with my family. Now that Jessica is at school, it’s much more difficult to visit family during term-time so the time we have during holidays is extra-precious. The girls have enjoyed having a sleepover at my sister’s house and… Read More

Blogiversary - this week's word of the week

Today is my third blogiversary! It is three years today since I published my first post. What started out as a place for me to reflect, prompted by a 40acts challenge, has grown into much more. It’s been an online journal charting the little moments of my two girls growing up and an opportunity to… Read More

Friday Focus 31/03/17 – Getting out in the garden

31/03/201709/03/2023
"Garden" - this week's word of the week

This week has been all about making the most of the sunshine and enjoying the garden. I had two lovely gardeners from Fantastic Services helping to clear the last of the overgrown areas in the garden at the end of last week. It looks so much better for it. At the moment, it’s still quite… Read More
