A Favourite Quotation

22 January 2022 Kate

Since before Evelina was born, I have been collecting quotations or pieces of advice for her (and then Austin, when he was born) which I think are helpful, inspiring or encouraging. I used a Twitter account as it has been an easy way to store these over the years. When I read the Bloganuary prompt… Continue reading A Favourite Quotation

An ideal day

13 January 202213 January 2022 Kate

Today was not an ideal day. But if I was to design an ideal Thursday, it would look like this: 6am I wake naturally and rise before the kids wake. I stretch, read, and write with a cup of tea. The sunrise streams in through the slanted shutters. Harper sits at my feet. She has… Continue reading An ideal day

A New List

4 January 20224 January 2022 Kate

2021 was not the year we had hoped it would be. Our second attempt to get the kiddos to Disney was thwarted (this time it was a Florida holiday that didn't go ahead rather than Paris in 2020). That said, when I reflected on the 21 things in 2021 that I set for myself, I… Continue reading A New List

Stepping back into my comfort zone

3 January 20223 January 2022 Kate

We are often told we need to step out of our comfort zone. It is meant to be useful for our growth or a way to keep our brains lively, or something. The problem is that being outside our comfort zones is distinctly, well, uncomfortable. I understand what drives the general advice but the reality… Continue reading Stepping back into my comfort zone

Celebrating with friends

1 January 20222 January 2022 Kate

The year started as it usually does: quiet and still. Austin managed to stay up with the big kids and saw in the new year with us but unlike the big kids, he is yet to master the art of the lie-in. He did manage a somewhat acceptable 8am wake-up time and since the previous… Continue reading Celebrating with friends

20 in 2020 update

26 December 202026 February 2021 Kate

With just a few days to go left of this year, I thought it might be amusing to look at what lovely things I imagined I would get up to this year in my 20 in 2020 list. My first impression of this list is that I actually did more of the things than I… Continue reading 20 in 2020 update

My List of 20 in 2020

15 January 2020 Kate

My list of 19 things for 2019 was a total success. I allowed it to be a success by changing up some of the items on the list. I didn't see the point of ignoring all the things that I had managed to achieve just so that I could stick doggedly to (and fail at)… Continue reading My List of 20 in 2020

Goodbye Worth, Hello ..?

30 December 2019 Kate

As I write this, I am feeling a strange kind of gratitude to my word of 2019. Worth is a weighty word. One that scared me a little when I chose it because unlike my word of 2018, I knew it was the right one straight away. I did not journal or scrapbook this year or… Continue reading Goodbye Worth, Hello ..?

Two Years Five Months

2 July 20182 July 2018 Kate

It is not his birthday (that was five months ago almost) and it is not any other important date but I just had this powerful realisation that if I didn't write today, right now, while I am thinking of it, I might never write this poor lad a blog post telling you all how amazing… Continue reading Two Years Five Months

One Little Word – Find

30 January 201830 January 2018 Kate

One of my 18 for 2018 items was to get my One Little Word album prepared for the year. I did most of this early on in January but one of the cards asks you to reflect back on the story of the month so I have only just finished the prompts for January today.… Continue reading One Little Word – Find
