How did you find April? I can’t believe we’re now in May. We’ve been able to focus on settling into the new way of life, that was all a rush in March. We’re developing our family routine.
Cheering your progress and achievements April 2020
Creating a pandemic journal or diary
You may be sick of hearing that we’re living in unprecedented times, but also starting to think about keeping a pandemic journal as you realise how different your life is becoming. There are lots of reasons to keep a journal, particularly now, whether it is to help with your mental health or to keep a record for your children. And no it is not too late to start. It is only too late if you Continue Reading …
Being positive about social distancing – weeks 2 – 4
We’re four weeks into lockdown in the UK, with at least another three weeks to come of the current restrictions. And we don’t know what reduced restrictions will mean. Will the schools reopen, will businesses like shops reopen? I don’t know the answers, and I don’t think anyone does. It all depends on the numbers or until there is a vaccination. So I’m not thinking about when this will end. I’m concentrating on the good Continue Reading …
Cheering your progress and achievements March 2020
How was March for you? It probably involved a lot of change. It certainly did for me as the UK went into lock down, so I’m now working at home every day and the children are doing their schooling at home. The type of work also changed as we converted a large in person event to online in ten days. Part of this involved managing live webinars; my team did fourteen in a week having Continue Reading …
Being positive about social distancing – week 1
Coronoa virus, Covid-19, social distancing, shielding, lockdown. You probably hadn’t heard of these words a few months ago, and now they’re impacting our lives in so many ways. And are likely to change our future in ways we couldn’t have imagined a few weeks ago. I started working at home on Tuesday 17th March and my husband two days later. The last day of school was on 20th, and so the next day our stay Continue Reading …
Cheering your progress and achievements February 2020
How was February for you? What are you most proud of? It has been a big month for me as I learnt to ski. Yes, for some reason I chose to learn to ski as an adult. This is definitely the thing I’m most proud of because I had to deal with mental fears as well as lack of coordination!

Creating our dream home, 7 years in
I love our house and I find it hard to believe we’ve been here just 7 years. I still revel in the extra space we have inside and out compared to our previous house. And we continue making progress, even if most people don’t see it. I get the impression that people will only think we’ve made progress when we remove the lift. And I agree that will be a big day, but we’re making Continue Reading …
How to have a healthier year than me
Just over a year ago I decided I wanted to get healthier, so last year was my year of health. Instead of new year resolutions I set a theme to get healthier and each week I added one small habit. Unfortunately, last year was not a healthy year. It started with a sickness illness and ended with a persistent cold that I had for over two months. So it should be easy for you to Continue Reading …
Cheering your progress and achievements January 2020
“You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than with your current results.” James Clear, Atomic Habits. It is good to celebrate our progress and achievements, even when they’re small because they mean we are still moving forward. What did you start, progress or achieve last month?
The best board games we played last year
Board games are important to our family as a way of spending quality time with each other, and friends. One thing I particularly like is that there are so many different games, so many different mechanisms that everyone can find one they enjoy. And everyone gets a chance to win because they are better at some types; trust me there is no need to allow the kids to win in our house. Just a few Continue Reading …
