Stop looking for happiness in the same place you lost it.

The Saturday Update
We've had a nice week getting back into a kind of routine. Joshua has settled right back in at nursery and slept there for the first time yesterday. Isabella is back at nursery like she was never away and Nico is back at work too.
I'm getting ready to go back to work and spent the week making the most of my child-free time by cleaning the house. I aimed to get through a room a day and managed three and a half so that's not too bad.
More of the same next week plus starting two new jobs, many appointments and a weekend with Nico's family.

Links!
Just one of the reasons I love this show.
A fun game.
Nico makes me a similar drink to this and it's wonderful (and great for PMT).
Amazing!
Enjoying taking part in Mollie Makers Week on instagram.
What a beautiful friendship. (I love number five.)
Looking forward to seeing this and this in 2018.
Thinking of putting this somewhere I will see it every day.

Looking forward...
I'm struggling a little with this new month, new year. While I'm sticking to my two main goals, I'm having a hard time finding a balance with the usual healthy eating, more activity, less stress side of things. Maybe it will settle more when I get back to work full time. In the meantime I thought I'd jump on Amy Liz's bandwagon and describe what I'm looking forward to this year.
Getting back to work!
I know it will be stressful and bring on a new wave of working mum guilt but I am looking forward to getting into a new challenge, taking my career in a different direction and bringing a bit more financial stability to our family. I'm especially looking forward to meeting new people and enjoying conversation with other adults!
My sister's hen do and wedding.
This Summer I'll be heading to England twice for these wonderful events. The first should be a fun, girly weekend and the second is especially exciting as we're taking my mother-in-law with us and I'm excited to show her my home country and get all the family together again.
The kids' birthdays.
While Isabella's incessant talk of her birthday party and the guest list is incredibly annoying right now (she turns four in June), I am looking forward to it. As with Christmas, birthdays with children just seem more magical and both of the kids are a joy to watch as they grow and learn.
Completing some ongoing projects.
I'm really hoping this will be the year I finish my biggest crossstitch yet.
I'm carrying on apace with my crochet course and looking forward to finishing the blanket project.
I'm also really excited to see how the one second every day video turns out. I'm backing up weekly and week one had both of us grinning ear to ear.

Make it Monday - Fimo Photo Holders
First, you have to work the Fimo. You can mix colours but I didn't try that this time. Then you form the shapes - this bit is harder than it looks. You bake the finished product for half an hour and once it's cooled, you can varnish it.
I love the colours and am looking forward to seeing these in use. I did learn the hard way that you have to consider designs carefully - the smiley won't stand up by itself!
The possibilities are endless - you can make ornaments, jewellery, all sorts. I'm looking forward to experimenting more.
