This year's 100 Day Project goes live today and this is the third year I will have participated. My intended goal this year is to record the memories and stories that go alongside my service with the RAF. With simplicity as key, my approach will be to rely on a Project Life-style approach. That way, … Continue reading The 100 Day Project
The lovely Mary-Lou of Patio Postcards blog pointed me recently in the direction of Brené Brown‘s new weekly gratitude practice, TGIF. Most of us would recognise TGIF as an acronym for Thank God It’s Friday, but in Brené’s world it stands for Trusting, Grateful, Inspired and Fun. Trusting: that I can keep on top of our Christmas preparations. … Continue reading TGIF #12
Taken as a whole, I loved this project. I missed just one day out of the 100 and didn't stress about it. Three of my five targeted projects were finished (and I'm seriously glad to have The History Project done and dusted) and the remaining two are further along than they were 100 days ago. … Continue reading The 100 Day Project | The End
I wrote my first {short} blog post on the 2nd February, 2008. During 2018, I wrote a series of posts called On This Day where I randomly selected dates to look back at. I can hardly believe that as I move into year eleven, here I am, still tapping away at the keyboard and hitting … Continue reading 10 Things About 10 Years of Blogging

(I have a post about my thoughts on 10 years of blogging going live later this week.) Becoming more … Continue reading Blog Review | 2018
The Summer holidays are fast approaching … which meant an hour set aside to plan how we'll spend six weeks without school. My Get to Work ® book is the ideal place to set out our timetable, using up some of those seemingly empty double spreads where the month has run out. Scrapbook embellishments may … Continue reading Summer Planning
There are some things about autism that are hard to live with. It’s all relative, because, let’s be honest, autism is hard to live with. Full stop. Let’s talk managing a different routine. We pretty much have the term-time, Monday to Friday routine off pat (but transition to secondary school is looming and I'm anticipating … Continue reading Autism and the Everyday #11
The old adage, "It's the little things" rings true. As part of nourishing myself this year, I've been looking at a few ways to make our home feel more cosy. More hygge. Both The Brainy One and I spent a lot of time in our home during the working week (a definite perk of being self-employed) and I've … Continue reading Living Well
When I rebranded this blog, I decided to use a dedicated planner for potential blog post ideas. One that ran like a diary, but had enough space for jottings, draft posts and the general minutiae required to run a reasonably well organised blog. I settled on the Get to Work book as my planner. Which is actually faintly … Continue reading The Get to Work Book
