The next instalment of my personal 100 Happy Days project. It’s amazing what you find when you start looking for it…                     I’ll post again in ten days time with the next selection of photos.  I’m loving this project! Feel free to share your happy moments from the […]

“Oh I can’t do it!” she wailed. Throwing her pencil across the table with vehemence, Ella folded her arms and slumped back in her chair, frowning crossly at the exercise book sitting innocuously on the kitchen table in front of her. “Try again” I coaxed.  “Sometimes you have to try things a few times before […]

Today is International Day of Happiness. In honour of this I’m posting a song that ALWAYS makes me feel good, no matter what’s going on in my day: My girls are usually pretty tired at the weekend – they’ve had a long week of learning at school and they still refuse to sleep beyond 6.30am no matter […]

Over the last few days there has been an influx of photographs dominating my newsfeed on Facebook.  Many of my friends have been posting photos of themselves sans make-up in the latest craze of ‘selfies’. Why? Well, it’s all in aid of cancer research and awareness – people are posting a photo of themselves without makeup […]

Ten days ago I shared with you in this blog post my discovery of a cool little project called 100 happy days. I decided to take part and conduct my own little experiment along the way. Here are days 1 to 10 of my project:                   I’ll […]

This is only going to be a short post. Last Wednesday my middle daughter fell over backwards and hit her head extremely hard on the radiator.  A huge lump instantly appeared that was very concerning, so off to the hospital we went.  After spending four hours in A&E we were told she had a haematoma […]

According to reputable sources (ahem, the internet) today is officially the ‘Day of Awesomeness’. There are a lot of people out there doing a lot of awesome things. Take this guy for example:  http://www.thefreehelpguy.com/about/ A year ago he posted an advert on Gumtree offering free help…with absolutely anything.  He didn’t think much would come of it, […]

Today is World Book Day.  Every year the girl’s school goes all out and everyone dresses up as their favourite book character (even the teachers!).  My three girls are still at the ‘fairies and princesses’ stage of books, though it won’t be long before I introduce them to the worlds of ‘The Famous Five’, ‘Harry Potter’ […]

I came across a really cool little website the other day on Facebook:  http://100happydays.com/ It’s a very simple idea that really appealed to me – every single day, for 100 days, take a photo of what made you feel happy that day. Quite apart from the fact that it’s a photography project (and I love […]

My eldest daughter (Ella) came home from school yesterday very upset.  At first she didn’t want to talk about what was bothering her – she just sat at the kitchen table forlornly.  I gave her some space, not wanting to push her to talk and at the same time remaining close enough to let her know that […]
