I like to mix my more ‘philosophical’ ramblings with lighter posts about the little things in life that make our days all the more enjoyable. Doing these posts is great because it always helps me to find thankfulness, even when I have been low or had a hard week. This week I hope there is…

My Job in Pictures 2
So this is my second ‘My Job in Pictures’ post. It was hard to choose this week but here are my final three! 1. Some of the younger children enjoying our day out to Clivedon National Trust site 🙂 I had so much fun playing with them and being with them as they made ‘collections’,…
My Job in Pictures 1
I love my job. It’s exhausting and busy and limits my social life, but I still love it! I work with children and youth and their families, for a church, so every day is different and there are always challenges and always rewards 🙂 I figured it might be interesting to do a new little…
Being honest but appreciative…
Have you ever been in the situation where you’ve been browsing facebook, looking at someone’s holiday snaps, or even just catching up with friends, and you’ve had that nagging feeling that maybe your life doesn’t quite match up? I think a lot of people have moments of dissatisfaction with where they are in life, and…
Small Things :-)
In the style of my favourite blog, ciderwithrosie.com, here is a little list of things that have been lifting my spirits this week. Having been on holiday, I have quite a few! 1. Managing to snap this butterfly (a Dark Green Fritillary I think?) on my phone at Centre Parks, Longleat: 2. Painting my nails…
Flip Flops!
A while ago, I mentioned Gandys Flip Flops, the up and coming flip flop company started by two young brothers who lost their parents in the 2004 Tsunami. Money is donated to orphans in India for each pair bought. Here is my pair 🙂
After a little while, I return – re-inspired!
So after another LONG break from blogging, I’m back with lots of ideas and inspiration. I recently bought a copy of Company magazine. I’m not entirely sure what its target audience is (maybe a little younger than myself?!) but I have really loved it. It’s so bright and cheery and real! I’m a fan of…
Amazing coffee!
Just a quick post as I spent a fab lunchtime with my lovely friend Kate at possibly the best coffee house ever! Totally recommend Pinnocks in Ripley – see link below 🙂 http://discoverripley.co.uk/#/pinnocks/4567032107
Love this picture!
Was just looking through our holiday snaps from Rome last year – here’s some graffitti we saw by the river. Loosely translated it means ‘I love you from here until the end of the world and from there to infinity’. Makes me wonder who wrote it and what their story was!
It’s been a while…
OK, so it’s been ages since I’ve updated this blog or my book review blog (www.amysbookcorner.wordpress.com), but during that 2 months, I’ve been reading, watching, learning and growing. I don’t really know where to start, so to sum up my beginning of 2013, here are a few ‘Top 3’s’. Feel free to skip to the…
New Year’s Resolutions?
Love them or hate them, now is the season for making New Year’s Resolutions. Now I am well aware that many people have lost interest in them over the years, whether put off by the commercialisation of fitness fads, the myriad of banale and superficial resolutions out there, or because they simply don’t/can’t/won’t keep them. This morning…
The Spirit of Christmas
This year I am struggling with Christmas. I work in both churches and schools so think double figures of Christmas plays attended, a workload that feels as heavy as a pregnant lady on a donkey, and parties dampened by the prospect of getting up early the next day for assemblies, children’s parties, church services, rehearsals…
