At the moment I feel I have loads to be cheerful about
- Life was getting a little overwhelming with the amount of stuff I was trying to do, so I eventually realised that I needed to take a step back from everything which I did around April time and I feel as different again
- We have recently got back from our first proper holiday as a family since we had both boys so over 6 years since we had a holiday. It was Fab, it was a last minute deal, the resort wasn't that great, neither was the food, but did we care - no, the weather was perfect blue skies everyday, the kids lived in the sea or swimming pool which has done their water confidence no end of good, we hired a car and saw some of Majorca, Mini Man's dream came true by actually flying on an aeroplane, and Little Man learnt some Spanish. More importantly I think as a family we totally reconnected.
- Work is flowing in at the moment and I have the opportunity to go to Russia in October (VERY excited), plus for the first time in 3 years I have got the balance right - working mornings, every afternoon spent doing something with the boys.
- We are thinking about having a night away with the boys this bank holiday and then catching up with 2 sets of good friends so looking forward to that.
- Life is generally a much happier, more organised affair at the moment and I have finally accepted I am not superwoman and it is OK to sometimes say No.

Welcome back :) I've been on a bit of a blogging hiatus for the last couple of months too. Glad you had a lovely family holiday and I hope you manage to get away for the Bank Holiday x
Sounds like taking some time to prioritise was just what you needed, Glad you had a great holiday :-)
I think that number 5 is very important and probably why life is going better x
Glad you enjoyed your holiday and seem to have got a good life/work balance now.
I LOVE this post. Having watched some of your journey it just feels like you are in a much better place emotionally. Sometimes taking that step back makes such a difference. Russia - can you put me in your suitcase - lifetime ambition to visit there. Expect an email from me soon. I want to pick your brains a bit. And just email me a post about Groovy Mums whenever you are ready. @kateonthinice
