    Monday mindfulness {5 happy things}

    October 23, 2017 - By 

    Good morning everyone! I hope you had a lovely weekend and have a good week ahead of you. This week I am writing my weekly post from my temporary desk away from home. I’ve been looking forward to half term for awhile. Last week was only a 4 day week thanks to an Inset Day for both of my children. We still had a packed week with Beavers, choir practice and karate lessons. We also squeezed in two Parents Evenings. I’m pleased to say both my kids received glowing reports from their teachers, I love to hear how they are…

    Monday Happy Things {Week 154}

    September 11, 2017 - By 

    It was a huge week for us with both kids going back to school. I think they were both happy to see their friends again. My 7 year old started a new school and so far seems really happy, coming home each day with so much to tell me about all the new routines he’s having to learn. I’ve missed them both but I can’t deny it’s been good to have some time to myself. My children love painting rocks and on Saturday we visited our local park to leave some painted rocks. We joined our local painted rocks group…

    Monday happy things {week 149}

    August 7, 2017 - By 

    Is it possible to pack too much into a week? I think so as our feet barely touched the ground last week. Thankfully we had a quiet weekend at home to recover. It’s time for my weekly post, all about the five things which made me happy. We started the week with a lovely day at home making some unboxing videos. We received some fab toys to review recently and the children have had so much fun. Check out our YouTube channel for our latest reviews including the Nerf Modulus Regulator and the new Peppa’s Family Home Playset. We had…

    Monday happy things {Week 140}

    June 5, 2017 - By 

    We’ve had a really lovely half term break. My lucky children have an Inset Day today whilst I’m back at work for a couple of hours. I’ve been super organised and got their school uniforms ready and PE kits packed for when they do go back on Tuesday 🙂 We were all looking forward to making some half term memories and we packed in quite a lot. We spent a few days with my mum in Wiltshire and pottered around enjoying the weather and relaxing. We took the children to Bratton Camp where they could run around but tried not…

    Monday Happy Things {Week 138}

    May 22, 2017 - By 

    Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. It’s time for my weekly blog post about the five things which made me happy last week – Monday Happy Things {Week 138} I started off with my first week in my temporary job which I really enjoyed. I love being back at work after far too long as a SAHM. My 5 year old finished his SATs. It was a  pretty boring week for them all at school so I’m glad it’s over for him. He was rewarded with a meal at Pizza Express and a new Star Wars…

    Monday Happy Things {Week 137}

    May 15, 2017 - By 

    As you read this I will be heading to my new job! I have a temporary part-time job over the next few weeks which I’m really excited about – and a little nervous too! We had some wonderful toys to review this week. My 7 year old made unboxing videos of the new toys based on the Crossy Road app, as well as the new Despicable Me Mineez. He loves making videos although I’m not sure I’m particularly enjoying editing them – he doesn’t stop talking so it takes me ages! My daughter enjoyed Rainbows. Her leader was away for…

    Monday happy things {Week 135}

    May 1, 2017 - By 

    Happy May Day! Last week was a full week with everyone back at work and school and was therefore pretty tiring. Thank goodness for a lovely long Bank Holiday weekend! Time for my weekly round up of the 5 things which have made me happiest. Monday happy things – Week 135 Last week my son started Gardening Club and I managed to get my daughter a place at Street Dance. This means we are ridiculously busy after school but I’m glad they have the opportunity to try new things. The choir I sing with started again for the Summer term…

    Monday happy things {Week 134}

    April 24, 2017 - By 

    What a difference a week makes. A week ago we stood on top of West Kennet Long Barrow in Wiltshire and enjoyed the Bank Holiday. The next day the children went back to school and I missed them and felt a bit lost at home on my own. It’s funny how quickly you get used to being surrounded by people. We spent the weekend removing the carpet from my son’s room and laying laminate down. I really hate carpet and it was down when we bought the house 4 years ago so it had to go. We also gave the room a bit…

    Monday happy things {Week 127}

    March 6, 2017 - By 

    I know I say it every week but last week was busy! Somehow we survived Pancake Day and World Book Day, as well as the normal school routine and after school clubs. Thankfully our weekend was pretty quiet so we all had a chance to recharge our batteries. Time for my weekly post about the 5 things which made me happy the previous week. Monday happy things {Week 127} I really love helping at my children’s school and started the week with a trip to our local Church with Year 2. No-one had checked if there would be a service…
