10 Things that have made me happy this week

Posted on September 25, 2017 By Becky

I love writing these posts when I start the week on a high! To be honest, last week felt like a bit of a write-off- I was quite under the weather, had a migraine on the Wednesday which wiped me out, and generally felt like I was chasing my tail…

Things that have made me happy lately

Posted on August 29, 2017 By Becky

As I write this I have to say I’m not feeling particularly ‘zen’- we’re going away later this week for a few days, and even though it’s not for long I still find my head spinning with what we’ve got to pack, sort, arrange etc, as well as finishing off…

10 Things that have made me happy this past week

Posted on November 18, 2016August 13, 2021 By Becky

  Hello Friday! Is it just me or are the weeks continuing to just fly by? I don’t mind too much though- I love this time of year due to the anticipation of the festive season, and knowing that in just a few short weeks we’ll be able to put…

Things that have made me happy lately

Posted on April 21, 2016November 11, 2017 By Becky

Freddie getting a new swimming badge and being moved up a grade- he was so pleased (as were we!) and I think this will really help his confidence when it comes to his swimming. Mexican food and cocktails round ours with friends last Saturday night- made us realise we SO…

10 Things that have made me happy this week

Posted on March 14, 2016August 29, 2023 By Becky

A lovely family lunch in Islington on Saturday to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. The children loved seeing their little cousin Astrid, my niece, and the rest of the family. We all ate far too much and of course, Freddie in particular loved the train and tube journeys there and back!…

Getting out of a creative rut

Posted on March 3, 2016 By Becky

    We all have it. Days, weeks (even months!) whereby we can’t seem to pull our fingers out of our proverbial and actually get on with anything creative. Whether it’s work, or a passion or hobby of ours that involves some level of creativity, there are just times when…

Why It’s okay not to be okay

Posted on February 9, 2016August 13, 2021 By Becky

Last week I had one of ‘those’ days. Nothing too disastrous happened in the grand scheme of things, but a series of little things that made my day more than a bit ‘meh’ and had me pouring a HUGE glass of vino post- kids bedtime. I got soaked in the…

Things that have made me happy this past week

Posted on November 18, 2015August 13, 2021 By Becky

This past week has been a sad, and of course, shocking one. Like the majority of the world, I was utterly horrified at the awful terrorist attacks in Paris and Beruit. There really are no words for such acts of misguided evil, and as a result, anything that I had…

Things that have made me happy this week

Posted on February 3, 2015August 13, 2021 By Becky

After a bit of a sluggish start last week and feeling a little grumpy (hello, hormones!) and unmotivated (my poor blog has suffered a bit since Christmas), I actually ended up having a really good back-end of the week. This is certainly due to having more time to work, plus…
