MrA’s school closed as of 9pm last night. He only found out when he got up this morning! He was up at the usual time (0615) Andres his breakfast. At 0800 he was asked to get dressed and to tidy his desk. By about 0930 he’d achieved this! No specific work had been sent by […]
The One About Action for Happiness (17th Jan)
“Eat healthy food which really nourishes you” Not the best day for this one. In the @OneAbout house, Friday is known as Pizza Friday. Weirdly, today we’ve not had pizza… we had fish and chips instead! I did share a portion with MrE though, so it could have been worse.
The One About Action for Happiness (15th Jan)
“Put a worry into perspective and try to let it go” Well that was easy to type…. but harder by far to do! To start, which worry do I choose? I’ve been using the Headspace app this week before I go to sleep, so tonight I’ll look for a meditation session about “letting go” I […]
The One About Action for Happiness (14th Jan)
“Take a different route today and see what you notice” This is a task that needs some pre-planning. I have three journeys to make today – one to MissE’s daytime activity, one to MrA’s after school activity and one to my Zumba class. The route to Zumba is really not that easy to vary, and […]
The One About Action for Happiness (12th Jan)
“Switch off all your tech 2 hours before bedtime” Today was not the day for this! After a surprise night out (and therefore, late night and lack of sleep) and two children to look after alone, tech was definitely my friend and theirs to get through the day. This was definitely a failed task… but […]
The One About Action for Happiness (4th Jan)
I love the monthly wellbeing calendars from Action for Happiness. January’s calendar is focussed on Happy New Year. I’ve decided to blog my progress through January’s actions. Saturday 4th’s challenge was to write a list of things I feel grateful for and why. 1. My family. I’m lucky to have been able to have two […]
The One About Action for Happiness (3rd Jan)
I love the monthly wellbeing calendars from Action for Happiness. January’s calendar is focussed on Happy New Year. I’ve decided to blog my progress through January’s actions. “Spread happiness by doing kind things for others” Strangely, this was a difficult one today. My opportunities were limited to my immediate family as we didn’t really see […]
The One With the Goals
I’ve been an occasional reader of The Organised Housewife (as my disorganised house will evidence!) So, when I saw that Katrina was launching a 2019 Challenge to Declutter 52 Things in 52 Weeks, I signed up. A pre-challenge task was to think about what I want to achieve by the end of the challenge. So, […]
The One Without an Easter Plan
I’ve had Easter holiday plans and “to do” lists before. I’ve even shared them here, inspired by someone else doing the same. Not for 2018, though. This Easter holiday, all our house is focussing on is recovery from a winter season of germs that have battered us all. We’re all tired, we’re all in need […]
Easter Adventures Report
Visit Survived our trip Had a lovely afternoon in the rain at Woolsthorpe Manor looking for coloured rabbits! Make Made two lots of choc nests – yummy but messy, both to make & eat! No Easter decorations made – my boy is not into crafting like me. No sewing – I tried but the pattern […]
