How’s everyone feeling about the lockdown restrictions easing today? I’ve not made any plans to shop, eat out or get beautified as I am sure it is going to be so busy out there this week. I think I’ll wait a couple of weeks for the excitement to die down and for the kids to go back to school. Until then I’ll just be continuing as we have for the past year, just going out when necessary and meeting friends at the park. I have booked a nail appointment for the end of April and I really cannot wait for that and I’m looking forward to a pub lunch with my oldest son very soon too. Here’s what has been keeping me happy over the last week 🙂

I missed quite a few days from My Happy Days project over the last week so decided I would just do a bumper post to catch up from the last two weeks. Life has been hectic but so good… I got to see my Mum and Dad at the weekend and caught up with my oldest son Liam last week too. It’s been wonderful to see people again. This week I’ve got a cocktail night in a friend’s garden which will be awesome, I can’t wait to see my favourite girls again!

It really feels like Spring today, everything feels like it has lifted a little bit. I’m so looking forward to the lockdown restrictions starting to relax now and just hope that the number of cases and deaths keeps getting smaller and smaller and the government’s roadmap really does happen. For now I’m feeling positive about it and am so excited about getting to see my son, my parents, my sisters and my friends really really soon!

Jeez this has been a tough week… I got myself so wrapped up in the disappearance of poor Sarah Everard and was trying to be so positive that they would find her that I was pretty broken when they found her body. I feel so so sorry for her family now and just wish that she had been found alive and well. Social media has been a very hard place to be this last week and I have found myself stepping back because as much as I want to be involved and stand up for women’s rights it really has drained me mentally. So I’m going to stop talking about it now because this post is supposed to be my happy post each week and if I feel the need to rant then I will do that in another post.

A few years a go I did a project called 100 happy days where I took a photo of something happy that happened no matter how small everyday for 100 days. I really loved doing the project and have recently really enjoyed looking back through it. I didn’t actually make it all the way to 100 days but regardless of that it made me much happier, to just stop once a day to appreciate something that makes me happy.
