Finding Joy In Small Things

I post about our beautiful British Shorthair cat Electra as well as daily life with The Lovely Husband. Our daughter was born in February 2019 my life is all about learning! I post 100% original content. I also post daily on my other blog, 'thefoodarchivist.tumblr'...come and check that out if you'd like some meal ideas :)

Made a bunch of wands for Cosima and some of her friends who came for a visit. She’s obsessed with magic and casting spells… 🥰

I love to capture how Cosima holds my hand because it makes me so happy and I know she’ll continue to grow so quickly 🥰

Seeing an image like this, after the moment; brings back the feeling to me and I want to keep that because it’s as close as I can get to bottling it

Cosima made gingerbread mini bears. She’s getting quite good at stamping out biscuits and carefully transferring them to the baking tray 🥰

I do love a giant bow. Extra points for forest green velvet to match the nursery uniform

Leaf collecting, leaf printing and leaf painting! 🍃 🍁 🍂

Tostock animal park. All the animals are gorgeous but the white peacocks are particularly adorable, they gently peck the food from your hands 🦚 🥰

Was very happy to have my second jab on Tuesday!

The side effects for me were very different to what I experienced after the first one. This time I didn’t get a fever, chills etc but I was just really wiped out the next day. Today I expected to be 100% well again, as last time I was all better after 24 hours, but today I felt worse that yesterday- really fluey and have had a bad headache.

Hope the side effects go soon! In the meantime an early night is due :)

Got jabbed!

I felt extremely ill for 24 hours and got nursed by Electra through my day in bed 🙂

Then I felt all better and super happy to be vaccinated

Walking on Wicken Fen. There are ponies, fish, water birds and some gorgeous Highland cattle 🐮

I keep getting little Mega Block models gifted to me and I rather like it. She runs off and makes something then surprises me with it, aww 🥰

She likes to make “cars”, “trains”, “elephants” and “giraffes” but she’s also made a “table and chairs” and millions of towers. Toddlers are fun 🤩
