Lately I've Been...

Friday, 21 April 2017


Hey everyone and happy Friday! 

How has your week been? Disorientated after the long weekend? Yeah me too! It's amazing how four days off can feel like the longest time. In fact it's barely been a month since I last posted an update about what I'd been up to lately, and yet I feel like so much has happened since then! So in that blogger cliched way, grab a tea or a coffee and lets catch up!

Refusing To Let The January Blues Win - Happy Friday no. 23

Friday, 13 January 2017


Happy Friday everyone! How are you? Ready for the weekend? Me too - however - this weekend is a working one for me...  I'm going on a residential with 15 teenagers all in the name of theatre! I expect come Sunday I'll have rap music ringing in my ears and very little sanity left - but hopefully also at least some lots of inspiration for a new show!

I'm trying not to dwell on it too much - after all if you go in expecting to have a bad time you probably will. So with that in mind, and the January blues threatening to rear their ugly head, I thought it was the perfect time to remind myself of all the good things that have happened lately!


Lets Catch Up | Happy Friday no. 22

Friday, 16 December 2016





Hey everyone! How are you? December is whizzing by right? So far this month has been a good'un although I must confess I am waaaaaaaaaaay behind on my Christmas shopping and have this lurking feeling that I have forgotten to do something... but I am trusting that it will all get done and that the festive period will continue to be Merry and Bright! So in the spirit of being Happy and Grateful here's what has been making me as jolly as Saint Nick so far this month...

Happy & Grateful

Tuesday, 6 December 2016

H A P P Y  D E C E M B E R !

I know I've posted already this month, but I don't think I've actually said that yet!

I'm cheating a little this month as instead of picking just one word to focus on, I'm going with two - but Christmas is a time to over indulge right? And other than 'over indulging' there are only two other words I could possibly have chosen to focus on this festive season... happy and grateful.

December for many of us will be a time to reflect, on the good and the not so good. Like you I am contemplating what HAS TO CHANGE for 2017 but in a year that has been tough for many of us, I want to make sure that I not only focus on all the good but that I let the world know just how grateful I am for it.

Happy Friday no.21 - 10 Good Things...

Friday, 25 November 2016


H A  P P Y  F R I D A Y!

How has your week been? This week has gone so quickly for me! Made even quicker by the fact that I have today off... sorry if that was rubbing it in a bit! I'm still suffering a little with a lost blogging voice sbut determined to keep pushing through.So today I'm keeping it nice and simple with a list of 10 Good Things. Because who doesn't love a list of happiness?

An Alternative To do List

Monday, 14 November 2016


Hello everyone! And Happy Monday! How has your week begun?

Like most of you I sat down this morning to make my to-do lists for the week. Yup you read that correctly. Plural. To do listsssssss. This probably isn't that shocking to you. Like me you probably have a blog to do list, a personal to do list, a work to do list, and at this time of year, a Christmas to do list. List like goals are a wonderful thing. They help you feel organised, get a sense of where you're heading and the feeling of ticking something off, really is quite something isn't it? But like I've said about goals, lists, are also sometimes overwhelming.

Taking Stock | October...

Friday, 4 November 2016

Happy Friday everyone! How has your week been? Mine has been tiring but good and I'm finally back blogging after nearly a 3 week hiatus. A lot can happen in 3 weeks, and as much as I moaned that October wasn't exactly great for me, so much happened, and much of that was actually really good!  So I thought in the spirit of catching up and acknowledging all the things that weren't naff about last month I'd do a little taking stock post!

Happy Moments you can create for yourself when everything else is just a bit naff (Happy Friday no.20)

Friday, 14 October 2016



I know, catchy title right?

So today was meant to be a Happy Friday post, but in the last fortnight a lot of rubbish stuff has happened, and the moments of happiness have been the ones I've created for myself. Tiny moments in the day that have kept me sane. So instead of trying to gloss over the fact that some weeks are in fact just a bit naff instead I thought I would put together a list of happy moments you can create for yourself when everything else seems hell bent on bringing you down.

Friday, 30 September 2016



Happy Friday everyone! How has your week been? Mine has been tiring, but in a really really good way. So while right now I'm sipping coffee like there's no tomorrow I'm very very content. And what better time to write a happy list than when you're truly in that 'appreciating life' spot? Most bloggers who post happy lists, post them every week. You might have noticed, I only manage to get my Happy Friday posts out fortnightly. There's two reasons for this. The first is, posting a happy list every week just doesn't leave me enough room in my editorial calendar to post all the different types of content I want to. The second... the second is a little more self conscious...
