Well...its been a funny old month lol...hectic...lots of drama...a new baby...and more self care than i've had in years. Some things have been really successful, others...not. The one off things have worked well, but some of the things i've tried to add to my routine haven't stuck. Heres a run down... Start the day with… Continue reading End of Month Review – January

The 52 Lists Project
Last week I wrote a post about my love list and how making lists can be life changing (according to the BBC). We've decided to move house, so as i've been packing stuff up, to go into storage (to make the house look less cluttered lol) I came across a book that I think my… Continue reading The 52 Lists Project
Quiet Contemplation
It was absolutely freezing today, but, at lunch time the sun came out and I found myself actually enjoying the cold fresh air and the stillness of the River Medway. Sometimes, just taking a moment to stop, look around and be present is just all you need (until the seagulls start sqwarking! lol)
What Children Teach Us
Really hectic day today...a new carpet being fitted in my bedroom meant that the whole room needed to be cleared by lunchtime...then throw a 2.5 year old into the mix (our grandson) and you have a recipe for disaster...or so I thought. But...he thoroughly enjoyed helping Grand-Dad dismantle the bed, had no problem being shut… Continue reading What Children Teach Us
Lushness
Luxuriated in french kisses and plum rain this morning and I smell wonderful! I'm also feeling pretty bloody relaxed. Sometimes, all it takes is a bath full of bubbles 😉
Rainy Days & Sundays
The weather in my little corner of the UK today has been grim to say the least. The sort of weather that makes you want to curl up with a good book. So thats exactly what I did...well, three good books. No chores...no cooking (we had a takeaway), just reading and dog walking. The perfect… Continue reading Rainy Days & Sundays
Being Creative
I was a chess widow today, and although I should be working on an assignment, I decided that I wanted to do something creative...something arty as todays self care. So I stuck on a Podcast and decorated, sorry, Decopatched my jar. I'll do another layer tomorrow, when this one is dry, but so far so… Continue reading Being Creative
Make ‘Em Laugh
"Don't you know ev'ry one wants to laugh" Gotta love Singin' in the Rain. I've spent some time this morning scouring YouTube for things to make me laugh. I love laughing...I don't do it often enough. Today, I really need it, as I have two poorly Puggies (throwing up), and trust me, there is nothing… Continue reading Make ‘Em Laugh
A Bit of a Lie Down
Didn't get to bed until late last night (the husband had a chess match) so this morning I really didn't want to get up...I was knackered lol I'm sleeping an average of 7 hours a night now (thanks to the Magnesium!) but I feel like I could sleep for 8 or 9, if the Puggies… Continue reading A Bit of a Lie Down
Time Out
I've got a busy day today, playing catch up after two days of workmen (and providing them with beverages). But even with a to do list that looks like a receipt for a monthly supermarket shop, i've made my self a cup of tea, have a small bowl of nuts (my preferred snack nowadays) and… Continue reading Time Out
