I'm off to a work conference later on today but to be honest I'd rather stay home and be with my family. I feel as if I have been very busy just lately and I need some down time. I am pretty sure I am heading for a serious bloggy break over the summer to recharge my batteries. If you fancy guest hosting #R2BC one (or more) weeks over the summer then let me know and we will get a rota organised. Email me on mummyfromtheheart (at) virginmedia (dot) com.
So following on with the alphabet theme from recent weeks I will be starting my reasons to be cheerful with the letter E this week. I have discovered that E is a hard letter to work with, my first thoughts were eggs and elephants but I have to be honest and say I did not have that much gratitude for them right now!
So maybe I’m cheating a bit, but you know – my blog, my rules -
Exciting Journey-
It is only a month away from our family trip to Yorkshire. We are off to the Sand le Mere holiday village and all the family are super excited. For the last 3 weekends in a row I have been away without the kids and it is just too much. I need to be with my family and what better place to do this than staying in a luxury lodge and enjoying a part of the country that we have not visited before. I can't wait to play frisbee on the beach, watch the kids enjoy the mini disco and take some long leisurely walks, enjoying the beautiful area we are staying in.
Expeditions –
Then in the last 2 weeks because of my blog I have been
offered two totally different but equally wonderful expeditions. I can’t really say too much yet, as we are
just in the early stages of planning but needless to say I am feeling very
humbled at the moment that my blog and me might be able to do something for the
greater good and in the process I will get to go on two life changing journeys.
To say I am scared is an understatement, what if I let them
down? What if my writing is not good enough? What if I cannot muster up enough
support back home to make the trips really successful? Then on the flip side I
have complete butterflies in my tummy and I cannot control the bubble of excitement
that is growing. There is so much organisation that I will need to do - visas
to sort, clothes to buy, posts to write and family to organise. Then on that note I need to mention my
Exceptional hubbie –
I have to just say yet again that I have a truly amazing
husband, it is not many men who would consider letting you go abroad in both
October and December and leave them for a week at a time to organise the kids
and home. Having been to India on a mission trip himself he knows this will be
massive and they are opportunities not to be missed.
And I think I’ll leave it there as now what I need to do is
the ironing before I go away. Real life
does not stop just because I want to blog sadly!
