For my birthday a couple of years ago I was given a great book ‘Calm’ and a journal from my friends. To help me find some calm in my life and to de-stress a little. I have been writing in my journal everyday since and on Wednesday’s (or late on a Tuesday) I go through the daily highlights I’ve written down and pick out my 10 favourites.
I’ve come to realise over the last few years of blogging that my blog is a very good way to judge how my mental health is doing. Regular posts, happy and upbeat. Missing the personal posts but up to date with reviews and paid work, need a bit of self care. Not writing at all, I’m struggling and need help.
Easter is literally at the weekend, like a few days away. With everything that has been going on recently I am far from usual organised crafty self. Thankfully, as ever, Hobbycraft have the goods to make sure I get to have a little bit of Easter fun over the holidays with the kids.
Here’s the latest instalment in my series of posts all about what makes our lives here at home tick. This week is all about the perfect weekend away I recently enjoyed. Yes, I spent Mother’s Day weekend in Cambridge, without my child!
We’re at the midway point of the Easter Holidays and despite being ridiculously busy with a load of fun stuff, and some very not so fun stuff, I always like to have some quick hit activities ready to go. The Beaker Creature Reactor Pods from Learning Resources are the perfect fun activity that requires no set up, little to no cleaning up and provides a whole heap of entertainment.
As you all know we love BRIO in this house. L has an amazing BRIO collection that he uses with his railway set and also just in general small world play. They get used a lot, so we were really happy to be able to review the BRIO Rescue Firefighting Train.

Sudocrem are working with Clifton and the charity Green Fingers to get kids into gardening. Where does Sudocrem fit in? Well they’ve launched a product called My Little Sudocrem which is perfect for little green fingers!! It’s soothing and ideal for treating skin exposed to the wear and tear of gardening. No wonder people call it the Swiss army knife of skincare.

So I didn’t write this last week, not because I hadn’t had anything good happen. I did. But mainly because so many bad things had happened I just wasn’t writing at all.
Here’s the latest instalment in my series of posts all about what makes our lives here at home tick. This week is all about grief. Last week I lost both my grandad and my uncle on the same day. It’s been tough as you can imagine and has affected all of us. It’s had me thinking about how we handle things and what a big feeling grief is.
