I do love a relaxing Sunday, especially at this time of year when it still gets dark early and its perfectly acceptable to be in pyjamas at 7pm. The new year clean up is still underway, but I’ve taken a slow approach to it and can see lots of progress already. (We do need to…… Continue reading Sunday Catch Up
Happy New Year! 2018 was a funny one, with lots achieved (but not as much as I’d like). The main thing we achieved, and it was a slog with lots of silly little hoops to jump through, was getting planning permission for a house extension. Next challenge-finding a builder who responds to messages and has…… Continue reading My 2019 Guidelines
This week is half term here, so both the children and myself are not at school. After what feels like such a long time since school started in September, it’s a very welcome break. A combination of various illnesses between us and the darker mornings and evenings have left me feeling somewhat lacklustre, so the…… Continue reading Autumn Adventures
I’m not quite sure where the notion of saving things ‘for best’ comes from, and my research has proved fruitless (maybe I just used the wrong search terms?) but it seems to be a thing that is inbuilt into our culture. Last week, when I was clearing out a cupboard and gathering items together for…… Continue reading Saving things ‘for best’
Now that we are one third of the way through the year (roughly!) I thought it was time to look at my aims for the year and review them. Truth be told, I hadn’t looked at them since I wrote them so it was probably about time I checked! Home Continue last year’s goals of…… Continue reading 2018 Guidelines Update

This means the evenings are much lighter (and the childrens’ bedtime is a bit of a pain as they are adamant that they can’t go to sleep when it isn’t dark!) Everything seems so much brighter all of a sudden (me included), the…… Continue reading Springing into spring
Until a couple of months ago, I’d not really heard the term ‘single use plastics’, but recently it’s been a topic of much discussion and awareness has been raised. This site explains more about what they are, and why they are such a huge environmental issue. I’ve always been fairly environmentally conscious, and so I’ve…… Continue reading Turning Back The Tide Of Single Use Plastics
May seems to have flown by, and some of the things that happened this month were not on my list of goals but they happened anyway! I think because we we were so busy, some things got forgotten, or at least pushed aside, so that other things could take priority. It doesn’t matter, because a…… Continue reading 17 for 2017 May Round Up
I’m jumping on this bandwagon, as it seems such a great way of making resolutions but in a smaller, broken down way. For me, it’s about finding ways to become healthier, lead the lifestyle that I want for myself and my family, and enhance my crafting hobbies. I’m not expecting much then! (A lottery win…… Continue reading 17 for 2017
