10 Surprising Positives of Lockdown

Posted on May 25, 2020January 28, 2022 By Becky

It must be 9 weeks (or is it 10?) since we, as a family, have been ‘in’, and by ‘in’ I of course mean lockdown, something that every single person in the whole of the UK (unless you’re an amazing key worker of course), has been enduring. We’ve now had…

My Word for 2020: Growth

Posted on January 1, 2020January 3, 2022 By Becky

I’ve written these kind of ‘New Year’s Resolution’ posts on a few occasions now since creating this blog, and whilst I often cringe at the cliche of them, as someone who really buzzes off goal setting they still fill me with a small amount of ‘clean-slate-joy’!  The last few years…

10 things that have made me happy this week

Posted on August 12, 2019January 3, 2022 By Becky

I haven’t done a post like this for aaages, and was just thinking what a lovely summer we’re having so far, so now seemed as good a time as any to write one! We’re over 3 weeks into the school holidays now and they’re really flying to be honest. I’m…

10 Things that have made me happy lately

Posted on January 24, 2019January 3, 2022 By Becky

I’m still looking to continue these posts in 2019 as they’re some of my favourite to write, and my motto is always do what makes you happy. I’m aware that people tend to sometimes overlook blog posts these days in favour of my instant content i.e. Instagram, but nothing beats…

10 Things that have made me happy this week

Posted on November 14, 2018 By Becky

This past week has been a funny one, mainly because poor Arlo has been really poorly since last Thursday night (although definitely much perkier now) with acute tonsilitis that has caused his underlying eczema to flare up and turn infected. We had a trip to the docs Monday morning as…

10 things that have made me happy this week

Posted on September 10, 2018August 13, 2021 By Becky

Arlo just becoming the best little guy to hang out with- he’s so funny, with a brilliant sense of humour already, and even though this age is hard work I love how much he’s learning and taking in all the time. An increasingly raucous cheese and wine night on Friday…

Things that have made me happy this week

Posted on July 22, 2018April 22, 2024 By Becky

In a week that has been extremely sad due to the loss of amazing fellow blogger, Kate, I’ve been looking again at the positive things that have happened, and trying to be grateful for each moment. Kate was an extremely well loved and respected woman, both by those in the…

Things that have made me happy lately

Posted on July 3, 2018 By Becky

This past week or two has been really wonderful! I don’t know if it’s the great weather, or the fact I’ve been a little healthier, but I’ve felt really perky and whilst it’s been a busy time, so many fab things have happened.  Here are some things that have made…

10 Things that have made me happy this week

Posted on May 21, 2018 By Becky

Oooh so many lovely things that have happened this week, but first, can we just talk about THAT wedding on Saturday? Whilst I didn’t actually get to hear much of what was going on due to over-excited kids in the background, what I saw was amazing (the dress was just…
