Hello everyone, I hope you had a lovely weekend. It’s time for me to sit and write my weekly blog post about some of the things which have made me happy – my Monday Happy List. We’ve had my sister visiting all week which has been lovely. We had an epic day in London exploring…

Monday Happy List – Week 95

Posted on July 18, 2016 by jenny

I’m so excited that my children have their last few days of school. We are all so ready for a more relaxed routine and to de-school. The end of term has brought it’s usual flurry of activities: Both my children had excellent School reports so I’ve been the proudest mum imaginable. I’m so glad they…

Monday Happy List – Week 94

Posted on July 11, 2016 by jenny

Another busy week for us and now we really are counting down until the school holidays. This week both children had their Sports Days and Class Swap Days. They are really tired and in need of the holiday. I am so proud of them for getting good reports but this term has felt long so…

Tuesday Happy List – week 93

Posted on July 5, 2016July 5, 2016 by jenny

As I lay in bed last night I realised that for the first time in over a year I hadn’t written or published my weekly Happy List post. It’s not that I didn’t have anything to share, life is full and busy, but I was actually living life rather than blogging about it. So, slightly…

Monday Happy List – Week 92

Posted on June 27, 2016 by jenny

I’m sure you’re tired of my saying it, but what a busy week! I hadn’t caught my breath from a weekend of Blogtacular and The Secret Life of Pets before we were off again, this time on a mini break on the cruise ship Ventura. We had a great time but I am in serious…

Monday Happy List – Week 91

Posted on June 20, 2016February 11, 2023 by jenny

Happy Monday everyone, hope you all had a lovely weekend. Mine was hugely busy which has knocked me for six a little. It’s lovely to have exciting things to look forward to but oh-so-nice to come home to family after an adventure. This weekend I had my very own hall pass for 24 hours to…

Monday Happy List – week 90

Posted on June 13, 2016June 12, 2016 by jenny

We started off our week with a visit to KidZania as the children had an Inset Day. They loved the experience which you can read a little more about in this post. They are still talking about it which is always the sign of a great day out. I have made so many things this…

Monday Happy List – Week 89

Posted on June 6, 2016June 5, 2016 by jenny

Sometimes it feels that I’m always writing this post. My Monday Happy List feels a little like Groundhog Day – thankfully this is a nice post to write and a lovely way to mark the days which pass far too quickly. We spent the first half of the week on the Isle of Wight which…

Monday Happy List – Week 88

Posted on May 30, 2016 by jenny

Not only are we celebrating our second Bank Holiday in May but it’s also half term! We’re so happy to be enjoying a few days away from home. The weather has beenĀ beautiful so we’ve made the most of being out all day long. I love re-visiting places I enjoyed as a child and we had…
