Starting the week by writing the Monday Happy List is something I’ve been doing for a while. It’s a chance for me to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of our family adventures. It’s a post I always love to write. Monday…
I really like this time of year as there is so much to look forward to celebrating. We will be celebrating Mother’s Day on Sunday 14th March this year. I love receiving the cards my children make at school (although I’m not sure that will be happening this year). We usually go out for lunch…

We’ve had lots of fun crafting over half term. The weather has been pretty poor so we’ve stayed in a lot. We are lucky to have plenty of crafts and toys to occupy us. We have a large box of hama beads which we got out one day. We’ve had the box for years but…
