Starting my week with the Weekly Edit is a ritual I’ve kept for years. It’s my favourite Monday morning anchor—a chance to slow down, celebrate the ‘small wins,’ and gather the smiles from the week behind us. Part reflection and part record-keeping, it’s my way of documenting our family’s adventures before the next chapter begins.

The Weekly Edit {Week 10/2026}

Last week I read the National Trust Book of Biscuits and made the gingerbread biscuit recipe. The gingerbread was deliciously soft and made a lot of biscuits. I’d love to say it took us a while to eat them, but they were gone in a few days. I’ll definitely be trying more of these yummy recipes.

I’ve enjoyed using our 3D printer again. We printed an oversize Lego wreath last year and have been planning to display it all year round, printing seasonal extras for it. For Spring we’ve added pink dots, white flowers and yellow bows. It’s fun to have printed something useful and pretty at the same time.

The teen and I have been crafting spring costumes for our Maileg mice. We made little flower costumes for Mothers Day, and then decided we would make a head start on little St Patrick’s Day outfits too. Making miniature is always fun!

I binge watched Bridgerton season 4. I loved the costumes and characters, but am glad I read the books first.

My son had another week of mock exams in preparation for his GCSEs this summer. We celebrated the end of the week by going for a walk around Hampstead, visiting Fenton House and The Hill Garden and Pergola overlooking West Heath.
