Happy Days: New Friends, Baby Cuddles & Scatter Cushions

Welcome to HappyDays! The idea of this linky is to inspire others to make the best out of every day, to see the happy in the little things. As no matter what, there is always something good in every single day- we just need to take the time to see it. Share your happy posts, Sian and I love to read them!


This time last week I was in London with a big double bed all to myself (well if you don’t count Wills snuggling up to me of course). We had such a lovely time, just me and him – so much so that we both overslept and almost missed our meeting Saturday morning! Blogfest was tiring but fun, read all about our day here if you fancy it. I am now inspired to make more of my YouTube channel and even made a mini intro if you want to check out my latest video to see it!

This week has been stressful and I am glad it is over. For one reason or another I have been out every single day and I just can’t cope with being so busy. I am much happier when I am at home, just me and the kids, able to get on with housework and keep all my plates spinning. As soon as I get a social life, the house goes to pot and I end up feeling as though all those plates are smashing to the floor.

I am really looking forward to the Christmas holidays as Mr F has booked time off and of course Gracie will be off for 2 weeks. For now though, I am going to have to try and balance having a social life and keeping the house from looking like a pigsty!

What has kept me smiling this week?

– Countryside. If you’ve seen our weekend vlog you’ll know we went on a walk again this week. I am loving it and I want to go every weekend if we can. Any excuse to get wrapped up is ok by me!

– New friends. Gracie has a little boyfriend! Awwwww. He came round to play at the beginning of the week and they had such a lovely time. His mum is lovely and we had a nice chat while they played.

– Lists. I do love a good list don’t you? I am slowly working my way to the bottom of mine and then it’ll be time to shut down the blog for Christmas. Not that I’ll be resting as I am doing Vlogmas this year over on my YouTube channel- can’t wait!!

– Seeing Sian. That’s 2 weeks in a row now I think! I looked after her gorgeous little JJ for the morning and he and Lils played so nicely.

– Being featured. I am thrilled to be featured on the Laura Ashley blog this week with my Christmas living room. I love everything Christmas related so was so excited when they wanted me to spruce up my living room for the season!

– Baby cuddles. Wills is so poorly bless his heart. He’s got a bad cold and I am a bit worried about his chest as he is wheezy. It has meant extra cuddles and him sleeping in our bed for the whole night each night.

– Photoshoots. I love taking photos (you may have noticed..) and the other day I had to take some photos of Wills for a project. While I was snapping away I lost focus for a bit as his beautiful eyes distracted me. This is possibly one of my favourite ever photos I’ve ever taken….

I have a lot more and I think I will print a few out and hang them in his room.

– Shopping with friends. I went out for one little thing and ended up buying a tonne of stuff for the house, including some new cushions and a gorgeous throw. We may have also had a sneaky Maccy D’s!

– Suits. It is my new favourite show on Netflix – have you seen it? Totally in love with Harvey!!

Phew! Busy week – oh I also remembered to dye my hair hurrah!! It is a little dark for my liking but that’ll fade I am sure. At least the greys are gone!!

Have a great weekend!

What a lovely idea to see so much positivity. It's inspired me to be more greatful for the small things. And also write more positive and light blog posts I couldn't find anything on our site! So please excuse the entirely sarcastic addition to the link up. Hopefully will make readers smile anyway. #HappyDaysLinky

Wow, it has been a busy week for you! Hope this week's a bit more relaxed, but equally happy!

You really have had a busy week! Congratulations on the feature. I love getting out in the countryside too, luckily we don't have to go far. That photo is gorgeous, those eyes! #HappyDaysLinky
