Happy New Year everyone!
A blank page and a brand new year to have fun with, what could be more exciting than that? What have you got planned? Did you make any resolutions? I didn’t because I know how I fail sooner or later and then lose motivation for the rest of the year. So I chose a word to guide me and for 2015 I have chosen the word Acceptance, I wrote about my choice and my decision to go back to pen and paper this year and create a Smash Book, which is a glorified scrap book. In fact my twins were so intrigued I had to invest in scrapbooks for them too and the truth is they are more consistent than I am.
Who is on a diet? I put on half a stone over the festive season, easily done but still I wish I hadn’t so I’m throwing myself into the 5:2 diet. I tried it last summer and I liked it, it suits my lifestyle so I’m having another go and made a batch of tomato soup for quick easy lunches.
Who is doing more sport this year? Who is taking more photos? Talking of which come and join in our #SnapHappyBritMums monthly prompts, I’m so pleased to see so many taking part. Don’t feel you have to take a snap every day, use your archives, be creative and more importantly have fun with it. Why not start today with the prompt countryside?
Who’s thinking of holidays? Just about everyone I know. There is a lot of inspiration around, have a look at Trish’s Travel round-up for lots of great ideas.
Let’s check out the rest of the BritMums team to see what they’ve been up to
Susanna this week has written about a walk in Yosemite in the Spring. Jen has a dilemma that maybe you can help with – a family of four, four transatlantic flights but only two tickets for Business class – who gets the coveted seats and champagne? And Kate, well she’s going for Project 365 which I wish her best of luck with as it’s quite a commitment however such a beautiful way of recording both the normal and the special parts of the year as it goes by.
Your turn. Add your #MBPW to the Linky below and have a wonderful week if you’re feeling a bit blue then maybe a dose of #EmbraceHappy with Karin Joyce is just what you need? A popular and wonderfully supportive group of people looking out for some everyday happiness.
