Starting the week by writing the Happy List is something I’ve been doing for a while over the last few years. It’s my chance to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of the adventures we have as a family.

Five Happy Things {Week 501}

I started the week by binge watching Season 3 of Bridgerton. I couldn’t help it even though I had read the books and knew what was going to happen. Everyone needs a little escapism now and then. It was pretty good, just a shame we have to wait a month for the next four episodes to drop. Thankfully the Great British Sewing Bee starts this week so I have that to look forward to whilst I do some slow stitching with this sweet cover gift from Love Embroidery magazine.

My daughter had a fun weekend away at Scout camp. She tried lots of camp craft activities and went to a water park for a wake boarding session. She said she enjoyed it – I thought she was very brave as I would not be able to try this! She slept for 12 hours when she got home so there must have been a few late nights!

My son is also away on a school trip to Spain. The house was very quiet without the kids around over the weekend but we spent lots of time in the garden and managed to painted our daughter’s bedroom for her. She decided she has grown out of the gorgeous wallpaper she has so we painted over it whilst she decides what colour she wants next.

Over the weekend we watched Wicked Little Letters, based on a true story of a local community receiving anonymous naughty letters in the 1920s. It was a fun film which we both enjoyed watching.

I’ve been reading Make a Vision Board: A Manifesting Collage Book by CanDace Johnson which is published by Laurence King Publishing later this month. Collage is always fun and I can’t wait to share more of this lovely book.

Have a great week!
