Morning Routines

Wild Flowers

I love flowers. Any flowers, but particularly wild flowers. In fact, much to my mother’s dismay, I’ve also been known to love weed flowers. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. As I pound the pavements each morning, I keep my eyes open for wild flowers which grow along the road or pavement.Continue reading “Wild Flowers”

Do The Next Thing

Spending ten days away from home, visiting friends and family in Northern Ireland, was bliss. We all had a much needed break and came back home energised. However, three days later, I felt like I needed to go back on holiday again! I was EXHAUSTED. To be honest, I was a bit concerned. Why soContinue reading “Do The Next Thing”

Taking Time to Listen

The last few days have been such lovely weather. My six o’clock starts are slowly morphing into five o’clock starts, asContinue reading “Lovin’ April”

Early Morning Routine {Spring}

Yesterday, I talked about habit stacking, where you pair a habit you already do with a habit you wish to do. Last summer, I was not quite feeling myself. I couldn’t put my finger on it… Perhaps a little empty nest, definitely a lot of menopausal changes and a bit of twiddling my fingers andContinue reading “Early Morning Routine {Spring}”

Over the past three months I have been slowly making changes to our family’s lives.

I mean if getting up early is good, then getting up earlier isContinue reading “Morning Routines”
