When I heard about the lovely Karin’s idea of #EmbraceHappy I signed up straight away as it sounded like a great idea – finding happiness every day!
Then I got busy and didn’t really have the chance to join in as much as I’d like to but last weekend, I realised that I really do want to join in more because I think I need it. It’s April already and between work, school and various bugs that we’ve all been suffering with, I don’t feel like I’ve achieved very much this year and I certainly don’t feel like I’ve had too much time to do the things that I want to do.
So, April is going to be my ME month.
I have a list of five things I want to do by the end of April that will make me happy:
- Choose some wallpaper for the feature wall in my Dining room and get it done!
- Spend more time outside with the kids.
- Master my new camera lens.
- Paint my bedside cabinets.
- Get my back garden sorted out.
They’re just little things but they’re things that I haven’t really had time to do lately and I know that doing these little things will make me feel like I’ve actually achieved something!
Now while, I’m getting on with that I’m going to ask you to do something for me.
For yourself actually….
Lovely idea! So many of us forgets to do something nice for ourselves.
I try to "steal" few hours every Sunday and go walk around on my local car boot sale – I find it very relaxing
I also signed up to Embrace Happy but have been so busy I haven't done anything towards it 🙁
Your list is fabulous, but you said that they are "little" things. That list is something that would take me a year to accomplish (or longer). I would say don't take on too much, but you know what you can do.
I hope you can do it all, but embrace happy even if you don't 🙂
Lots of love, I hope to bump into you on the Embrace Happy circuit.

Have fun achieving your months goals 🙂 I just picked out some wall paper this week and really need to get it up!! X
What a lovely positive post. Mine is to rejoin slimming world and lose two kids worth of baby weight!
Such a great idea by Karin isn't it. We get so bogged down by the rubbish stuff we forget what is good
This is a great idea, often we forget about ourselves. Mastering the camera would definitely be on my last list. x
I'm trying to enjoy every small things on a daily basis 😉 It works!

Embrace Happy is such a fantastic idea by Karin! We 'll should do more to make ourselves happy as well as others x
What a great positive post! And brilliant to choose things which are achievable but will also make you happy. I will have to think of mine….
How wonderful Cass!! You definitely deserve to focus on things that make you happy!! And thank you for your kind words. I hope I can be an inspiration! You have the power to make it happen Cass!! Good luck & report back soon!!

The good thing about writing a blog is that they sometimes motivate you to do things that you would otherwise brush aside, I hope you manage to achieve your list!
I think this is a great idea. Good luck with embracing your happy x
I started my own embracing me thing today!! The thing that will make me happy is losing weight – it's a mammoth task for me and I'm just going to break it down into little pieces.
We all deserve to be happy! xx
