I love being a mum, but there are times when life is so busy and chaotic that I do forget who I was before I was a mum and the things I loved to do. I am determined to rediscover some old loves and passions in a new way to incorporate them into my current life and maybe even find a few new ones on the way.
The weather
It was bizarely mild today, I think our weather is suffering from a personality dissorder at the moment! Dont know how many layers to put on from one day to the next!

On my reading pile
Next week is Book Club Week, really enjoyed the book which was Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster. It's written as a series of letters to an 'unknown' benefactor, can't believe I hadn't heard of it before now but totally fell in love with this book. Trying to get though a new Patricia Cornwall novel, but struggling to get into it. Used to be a favourite author of mine, but not sure it's going to captivate me this time.

On my TV
Just started watching the new series of Top Chef which I always enjoy. Always hate Jan/Feb time as so many of the shows I enjoy are on a mid season break, hopefully will give me more craft / blog time though...

Something fun to share
I used to love writing and have had a poem published. I used to think I was quite a funny writer but have lost the craft through inactivity. I intend to remedy this and would love to rediscover this passion, it may be a fairly long and painful journey for anyone reading along though!

On my prayer list
A close friend who recently lost her mum, our car which is very poorly (can you have inanimate objects on a prayer list???) my eldest who is really struggling within himself at the moment.

Bible verse, Inspirational quote
Keep Calm and Stay Positive - I need reminding of this a lot at the moment. There's always something to be positive about, no one likes a moaner! But by gosh life, you like to dish it out.
