Welcome to #mamamondays. Here I try to include anything that is making us happy – and hopefully you too – even though it’s a Monday. And, I have to say it really is making me try to make the most of this often ‘depressing’ day
It has been anything from what we’re doing or planning to what we’re eating, watching or reading. I’ve even included items I’m lusting after or buying and anything else that has been inspiring me to make Mondays – and the rest of the week if need be – just a little more bearable.
I really hope that #mamamondays is inspiring you to make the most of this fresh start we get every week…
VISITING
Half-term saw us heading to Lisbon on holiday to stay at two of the Martinhal Family Hotels and Resorts properties (as I was reviewing the hotels for Junior Magazine) – and meant a week of family time.
I have been to Portugal many times but never to the capital so was excited to see what Lisbon had to offer. We stayed first at the Martinhal Chiado which are self-contained suites in a cool part of the city and then travelled over to its more resort hotel in Cascais just an hour a way.
I will be sharing more over on Junior and on here soon.
RETHINKING
I took a little break over on Instagram recently although unintentional a few days turned into a month and I think it was good to step back a little from my over-social use.
It was also nice to come back with a fresh perspective and seems one that was shared by many!
CELEBRATING
We had cause for celebration this weekend as Miss M finally managed to get Star of the Week at school. She has wanted it so badly – and I’ve had to explain not she will get her turn to take home the class teddy and of course the glory that is getting a certificate.
She was over the moon when she told me – and I have to say I was very impressed. Little achievements and pat on the back like this are helping her enjoy school and I can really see her progress and (sob) just how fast she is growing up.
