Little Loves – The Stranger and celebrating birthdays

Family life

13 Feb

I very nearly didn’t write this post about sharing the things that happened in January, but then I felt inspired after reading Suzanne’s Little Loves post from Inside, Outside and Beyond.

January is usually one of my favourite months, but the month was dominated by yet more illness, and I wrote about the birthday that never happened. However, Little Loves is about seeing the positives, and if we look hard enough there is always something to smile about.

Read

I’ve set myself a target of reading 2 books a month, the same as last year, and I actually managed to read 3 in January. That was down to being stuck in bed for nearly a week, and the only thing keeping me going was being engrossed in a good book.

Reading Pile

Watched

It has to be The Stranger on Netflix, one of the best series I have seen in a long time. Based on a Harlan Coben novel, it is full of twists and turns and will have you guessing right until the end. And if you’ve seen it and are wondering what to watch next, then Safe is another good watch, also by Harlan Coben.

Heard

Lots of James Arthur songs. We got Katie tickets to see him for her birthday, so she has been playing him on repeat.

Made

After 2 weeks of being in the house thanks to Labyrinthitis and Vertigo, I ‘made’ it out to finally celebrate both mine and Katie’s birthday. I celebrated with friends and the evening was filled with laughter, chatter and good food. And then we celebrated Katie’s birthday a few nights after at a local restaurant.

Wore

I picked up this dress in Sainsburys a few weeks ago for the bargain price of £22 and I LOVE it. Really comfy to wear and doesn’t crease so a huge win. I have been wearing it with black boots, but I think it would also work well dressed down with trainers, though I am no fashion blogger so don’t hold me to that.

And lastly

It’s half term next week and we don’t have any plans apart from an orthodontist appointment for Katie, and a hospital appointment for me. Are you up to anything over half term ?

    I’m so glad you finally managed to celebrate your birthdays! I hope the coming weeks and months are free of health problems for you.
    You made me laugh with your ‘I’m no fashion blogger’! Your dress looks lovely.
    Hope you have a good half term – ours sounds similar – doctor for my daughter on Monday and dentist for the two kids on Wednesday.

      Yes it wasn’t the most exciting half term but we got through it. I am definitely no fashion blogger lol, but I am so pleased with the dress. Really comfy to wear and it doesn’t need ironing so a huge win x

Yesterday these little beauties made me smile. I added them to my online food shop with @morrisons at the bargain price of £3.33 obviously left over from Valentines Day. They are definitely having an impact on my mood this week

I’ve wanted to order one for ages and treated us to one for Valentines. Since the pandemic I’ve loved finding new local companies to use, definitely a positive of the last year

It is turning into a little tradition that we watch it and I needed no excuse to turn into a mini party for the four of us. There might be some tired people doing online school, online lectures and online work but hopefully it was worth it
