Slice Of My Life - June 24

A positive and productive month, with days out, weekends away and lots of chit chat. I really felt like I was Abbie again.

The best ‘not weekend’ weekend

What an amazing time, I don’t think I could put into words what a wholesome, positive and uplifting time we had in Edinburgh. I could write a whole blog post about our time and what we got up to. It was my first few nights away from Evan so I was a bit hesitant, but it turns out it was just what I needed. What a difference a good night sleep can make! It was so much fun to make my outfit, do some glittery makeup and just have a really good evening. It was a perfect time and I wish I could go back and re-live it again.

Retail therapy

I love Edinburgh and was so glad we could spend some time there after the concert. All the buildings are so inspiring and I loved looking in all the small business stores. We headed to knoops for some hot chocolate and it’s safe to say this is going to be my new obsession.

Evan’s Dedication

Me and Evan have been attending church since January and I was so excited to get him dedicated by the church. It was a lovely ceremony followed by a party with our friends and family. It was so nice to share the church with our friends and have a good sing song too!

Stationaryfest

If there ever was a place more perfect for me, it would be stationaryfest! I can’t believe I haven’t attended before. Then again I think my bank balance is grateful of that. I loved being able to meet some of my internet friends in real life and see their stores and products come to life. It has really encouraged me to work hard at The Hygge Hut and hopefully be able to have a stall there next year.

The annual duck race

Ending the month with the most wholesome of days. We headed to Congleton with our picnic basket at the ready excited to see sone duck racing. It was such a silly little novelty thing to do but it really did make me smile. We are going to head back next year and make it an annual tradition.

Slow down

This month has been a learning curve in so many ways. The importance of time for myself. How important it is to take my time with tasks and challenges, but also not agreeing to too many things, even if they are things I really want to do. I have started to be much more realistic with my time and want to slow down more and more each day. Carving out pockets of time to just have a cup of tea and play animal crossing. Holding myself accountable to screen time and being more present and in the moment.
