I love having a functional life

So today we took a trip to one of our favourite places where we can have a coffee and have shops and now we are chilling it feels good to begin the school summer holidays and so good to have a good Functional life.


I like having systems which is to ensure we have what we want and need, each doing things we enjoy and still doing errands but good that we can have days where we aren't worrying about cleaning but getting out and shop without spending and I did a video about the Benefits of shopping: https://youtu.be/AcnBjtyC018

It is the start of the holidays, check out this blog about Getting Ready for the Holidays: https://theparentingadventurestipsandtricks.wordpress.com/2026/07/17/getting-ready-for-the-holidays-2/ so will still get up early as I love to especially when we have a heatwave to go out in the morning. I will still ensure that I do some cleaning and the one thing that is effective is cleaning as I go and work out like I do. 

I do like to scroll but only at certain times. I do like to spend time reading and writing. I make sure I journal and use what I have before I buy something and I love spending time planning.

I have begun to check and jot down my finances each day in my journal and I am realising that using my journal to do this better as I had set up a Financial planner but I began to dread that method of keeping check and lost my spreadsheet due to my laptop braking. 

Today was all about sleeping in, going to Collierswood as my son does Tennis classes and wanted to get him a tennis racket and I was looking for storage bin. 

It is good to have things to do each day. I like to have somewhere to go and something to read and write about and why I blog because it helps me to help you of things I have learned in my life so far and that would be helpful to you. 

I am so glad I have a more functional life because it stops me from negative thoughts, be happy with how my life is now before worrying about the past and the future and had a good functional day. 

Many thanks for reading,
