    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 153}

    September 4, 2017 - By 

    It’s feels like I’ve had a bit of a blogging break. You may not have noticed but I’ve not been posting as much or sharing on my social channels. I’ve enjoyed some quiet time and indulged my hobbies for once. It’s time for my weekly Monday happy things post – my Summer holidays edition (week 6). We started the week away thanks to a long weekend in Devon. We had amazing weather so it was perfect to be at the beach for once and not in London. The kids swam in Grandad’s pool and we went to the beach and…

    I love a sunny Bank Holiday weekend! I hope the sun is shining wherever you are. It’s time for my weekly Monday happy things post, today is {Week 152}. The start of the week was lovely and peaceful at home. We enjoyed being at home, the kids played with their toys whilst I caught up on washing and cleaning. The children have been taking part in the Summer Reading Challenge so we made sure we fitted in a trip to the library, I can’t believe our next visit will be our last. On Thursday we headed off to Bristol. We…

    Monday Happy Things {Week 151}

    August 21, 2017 - By 

    Our Summer holidays are whizzing by. I can’t believe we’ve had four weeks of adventures already. We were really lucky to go away for a few days and have a change of scene. It was lovely to do normal things, like watch films at home and take the kids to the park. We wanted to help my daughter ride her bike without her stabilisers but let’s just say, she was a little reluctant! Monday Happy Things {Week 151} Whist we were away we visited The Courts Garden, Holt and the Fairy and Dragon Grotto at Whitehall Garden Centre. We’d never…

    Monday happy things {Week 150}

    August 14, 2017 - By 

    Happy Monday everyone! Time for my weekly post, about the things which made me happy in the previous week. Today I bring you the Summer Holidays Week 3 edition! The last week of the summer holidays has been much more relaxing than the previous two. We’ve had family staying so had less days out. Despite this we managed two trips to the theatre! I finally reached my 2 stone award at Slimming World! I’ve been going to Slimming World meetings for a few months. I don’t find it too hard to follow, especially now I’ve cut back on the Chinese…

    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 148}

    July 31, 2017 - By 

    The first week of the summer holidays is over and we managed to pack in a pretty full week. My children spent 4 days at SuperCamp and had a brilliant time, making new friends, trying new sports and crafts. They had longer days than the school day but loved it although I didn’t really know what to do with myself. I spent my free time tidying the house as we have lots of visitors over the summer. It was quite a relief to be able to clean and change beds without the children around. I also enjoyed a cheeky lunch…

    Monday Happy Things {Week 147}

    July 24, 2017 - By 

    Last week was a strange one. It felt so long as we ticked all the *last* things off our to do list. There was the last Street dance and Beavers session, last karate class and I bought home bags of workbooks and art from school. My 7 year old had a sick day which I couldn’t believe and I just about managed to persuade my 5 year old to go school. I think they were both over tired and feeling a little emotional about the end of the school year. I felt sad too and took so many photos of…

    Monday Happy Things {Week 146}

    July 17, 2017 - By 

    The sun is shining. It’s the last week of term and I got paid for the job I did last month – just in time to get the fan belt replaced in my car. I can tell it’s going to be a good week so let’s get straight on to my weekly mindfulness post, about the 5 things which made me happy. Last week saw lots of milestones for both of my children. It’s lovely watching all their hard work be rewarded and they both gained their Yellow belt at karate. They’ve been going to karate for just over a…
