Week in Photos #17

Dear Friend,

Welcome to my Photo series #PointShoot. A look back at our week in photos. I love capturing the ordinary moments and special times with my camera, looking at our life through a lens gives me a clearer focus.

The beginning of the week started off well and I decided to ditch the housework and work on me. After cleansing my body I headed off to the beach to cleanse my mind. On Monday evening I went to the cinema with my friend to watch; The Greatest Showman. I had no idea what to expect but I really enjoyed it and loved the music so much that I've downloaded the soundtrack. It's impossible not to sing along to it.

My big lad has needed a lot of support this week. His exams are in full swing and he is really feeling the stress! We had a meeting at school and they are also very concerned about his anxiety at the moment. I have arranged for a support worker for him and we met her this week, she seems lovely. Fingers crossed this will help relieve some of the stress around homework and moving to secondary school.  But he needs more professional help too and I am busy trying to arrange this now. 

A chill out and movie night was just what we all needed on Friday evening. 

Today I took time for me... Tonight I went to the cinema with a friend... I did not feel any mum guilt leaving the boys tonight because I have learnt that I need this time to keep me healthy. I know that spending time on me makes me a better mum... it gives me the headspace to be better... #headspace #autismmum

In life you find yourself negotiating the obstacles. Sometimes the paths between those obstacles are broad and we can give them a wide berth and at other times narrow and treacherous. At the moment my path is not so straightforward. But I do have my guiding lights to help me, my boys... #dontknowwhatiddowithoutthem #lionessmama #autismfamily

Enthusiasm is the most important thing in life... he teaches me so much and lifts me out of my melancholy and back into happiness. It is a magical gift I hope he never loses! #enthusiasm #beachlife #highlightsofhappy #pinklinker #MyHappyCapture #lionessmama #capturemypositive #littlestoriesofmylife #funseekingkids #mummybloggeruk #thisparentlife #bloggerlife #autismawareness #actuallyautistic #autismfamily #autismlife #freespiritedchildhood 💙

Happy Saturday all. We had a fantastic Friday night movie night watching Honey I shrunk the kids, with homemade strawberry milkshakes, snacks & plenty of cuddles. Just what we all needed after a long week. #Autism #autismawareness #autismfamily #autismmum
