It’s nearly 7pm on Christmas Eve.  My husband is hard at work helping the Christmas revellers enjoy their night’s out, my girls are snuggled on the sofa wearing their onesies having watched their messages from Santa and we’ll soon be carefully setting out a mince pie, glass of milk and carrot for him and his […]

I have a confession to make:  Part of me would quite like to cancel Christmas this year. I’m just not feeling it. I’ve tried so hard to get in the spirit of things.  We normally put up our Christmas decorations on the 8th December – the day after my daughter’s birthday.  This year we left it […]

Lots of lovely Christmassy happenings in our household over the last couple of weeks.   Here’s what we’ve been up to: Day 641:  My Mum and Stepdad came to visit to give Ella her birthday presents.  I haven’t seen them for ages as they’ve been away on holiday, so it was extra lovely to have some time together 🙂 […]

I know I say it every time I post but these last ten days seem to have flown by even more quickly than the last few have. We are now officially on the countdown to Christmas and I can’t wait to have some time off with the girls. It’s going to be interesting this year […]

We are now a month away from Christmas and I’m really not feeling in the festive spirit at all yet, even though we had our first Christmassy adventure at the weekend (see Day 626 for more about this). December is always a super-busy month with lots of activities going on at the girls’ school, several […]

In the last couple of months I’ve started working with a few new clients after other clients have successfully got to where they wanted to be. The first stages of therapy always feel a little messy to me, and I’m pretty sure that my clients feel the same.  There’s no clear ‘three-step-process’ or rulebook explaining how […]

Another ten days has flown by and we now have less than six weeks to go until Christmas. I find the dark, dreary days of Winter difficult, so having something positive and fun to focus on in the near future is definitely a good thing. I’ve bought a few presents, planned a couple of adventures with […]

Normally I reserve my ‘Thought for the day’ blog post for Thursdays, for no reason other than it has a nice ring to it.  I don’t always make time to write a post on a Thursday though, as it’s *supposed* to be my day off from work.  I get up at my usual 5.30am, orchestrate the morning […]

Nine months is a long time.  Three quarters of a year.  Changes of season from the end of Winter through all of Spring, into Summer and then the start of Autumn.  It’s enough time to grow a whole brand-new tiny human in fact. You can do a lot in nine months. I’ve spent the last […]

Half term has now been and gone, the girls have been back at school for a week already and somehow there are only six weeks left until the end of term. This current slice of the school calendar is always a busy one, and it happens to coincide with one of the busiest times of […]
