Thank you for continuing to link up! I love reading everyone’s chosen words, and it’s great to see so many familiar linkers, as well as new ones each week. It is a linky, so do please take the time to visit a few other posts if you link up, as that’s only fair.
If you’re new here, Word of the Week is a nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. You reflect back on the past week and sum it up in one word. Then share your word with us in a blog post, with as little or as much explanation as you like. Come join in!
My word of the week this week is:
I have been totally on it this last week! I’ve been doing loads more gardening and the landscaping and tough jobs are all now complete, so I’ve just fun tasks like planting and creating our wildlife area still to do. You can read where I’m at with it all in my latest Project Garden post. I’ve moved Boo’s bedroom around, got some of her toys up for sale and others have been taken to a charity shop, and then I had room to create a reading nook in her room, which we LOVE! Whilst de-cluttering, I also had a good rummage around in their playroom and got rid of a few more things – I do love to de-clutter, as it makes me feel so organised. I’ve moved some furniture around downstairs and created a little area by the back door for all of my gardening things. I’ll share more on that soon, as redecorating the whole kitchen is next on my to-do list, so I’ll blog about that one separately when I get there. I am totally on top of organising #BringBackPaper book swaps, sending out the gorgeous stationery bundles, my own correspondence is all up to date, and I’ve lots of blog posts written and scheduled. I’ve bought  and wrapped birthday presents for both this month and next, and started squirrelling bits away for other birthdays later in the year. The house is clean and tidy, the washing basket empty and I’ve no ironing pile – all done and put away! And, lest you believe that all of this industriousness has been at the expense of time with my family, the kids have been doing various Easter activities and crafts every day, we’ve christened our new tuff spot, seen family and been to a blogging event together. So yep, feeling pretty good. And I’ve had time to read a couple of books 😉

Great word, you busy bee! Have a fab long weekend x
Thank you! And you, too x
You are a busy bee! Love your garden its so lush now!
Thanks very much x
Wow! Wow! Wow! And there I was feeling all pleased with myself for what I achieved yesterday and now it seems almost pathetic! Especially as the ironing pile is still huge! I think you need to share some of your super powers!
Well, next week’s word may be exhausted…!
Perfect word for you I read your gardening post!
Thank you! x
Please sprinkle some of your industrious powers over me as I’m feeling the opposite! Definitely not ahead or caught up!
I’ll send sprinkles over the ocean 🙂
I don’t know what I’m more impressed with – the garden, Boo’s nook or the fact that you’ve read two books this week! I can barely manage two pages at the mo. well done you xx ps. I love the word industrious
Thank you. I always find time to read, even if I’m falling to sleep!
Gosh, you have been industrious!! Complete opposite to me!!
Thanks! I’m thinking next week I should be ‘lazy’ 🙂
Wow I tired just reading that. Good for you x
Thanks! Will be burned out by Sunday, of course 😉
Wow you have been industrious this last week, well done
Thank you! x
You are always so busy. I loved the reading nook x
I took it to a new level this week! Thank you, so does Boo 🙂
It feels good to get things done, although I wouldn’t know because i’ve been too busy relaxing! Well done you, im going to try and catch up on all my things this weekend!
Ah, you see, relaxing is on my agenda for this long weekend now 🙂
Your organisation leaves me impressed once more. Well done for having such a productive week! I have just linked (‘Easter’) but will not be commenting until tonight as I am having serious trouble with the blog. x Mel
Thank you! I will rest for the weekend now 🙂 Hope your blog sorts x
Wow. I am completely in awe, I wish I had the time to get half as much done! I honestly don’t know how you do it. You must never ever sit down! X #Wotw
I do sit to blog & read 😉
I’m not surprised-industrious should be one of your words most weeks I think 🙂 I’m still in holiday mind set, although starting to mentally prepare for the return home right now. Not feeling terribly inspired by that I have to say! Hopefully your industriousness will have a knock on effect with me x
Holiday mindset is nice and you need that break sometimes. Enjoy the long weekend & keep on relaxing 🙂
Wow, you have been on it this week! What are you having for breakfast?! Congrats on a very productive week and happy Easter! x
Ha ha! I’ve loved it! Now I can enjoy the long weekend 🙂 Thanks, and you x
This certainly is a fitting word for you! You have been very busy! I am looking forward to seeing how your garden comes along. All linked up, hope you have a lovely weekend x
Thank you. I’m very excited about the garden!
Sounds like a really busy week! I love the reading nook
Thank you, it’s so cosy in there 🙂
Sounds like a brilliant week, I would love a week like that 🙂 Enjoy your weekend x
It was great, so now I can relax! X
Oh my goodness that is one seriously impressive list of accomplishments, how did you manage to fit in eating and sleeping in-between all that?! 🙂
I ate while working & slept very soundly! X
Wow what a busy and productive week! I am trying to get organised again after the chaos of moving house!
Oh yes! Best of luck x
ooh good word! And sounds very accurate, loads going on! Have a lovely Easter weekend! xx
Yes, plenty, so now I can slow down a bit for the long weekend! Hope you have a good one, too x
Wow well done you! Inspiring! xx
Thank you – feels good!
But nowhere in there have you mentioned sleep Jocelyn 😉 ….
No need for that!
Wowzer!! You have been crazily productive. If only i could be so good and get all my jobs done like you! I love Boo’s little nook in her room, so very cute and such a lovely idea. Seems like we have both been very busy getting our gardens ready for summer. Glad you’ve had such a good week xxx
Thank you, and yes, both loving our gardening! x
Looking forward to seeing the Garden Blossom.
Well done on all the hard work.
Sx
Oh, so am I! Thank you x
Sounds like you’ve had such a busy week!
Have a lovely weekend x
Very! Can enjoy the weekend now, though 🙂 Thanks, and you x
wow you’ve been busy! LOVE the reading nook thats a brilliant idea 🙂 #WotW
Thank you, I love it so much, too! I want one now, of course 😉
What an amazingly productive week. I’m tired just thinking about it! I’m also so impressed with your new garden, and your ability to do all of this as a family so family time doesn’t suffer. Very inspiring xx
Thanks, I feel so productive! And I’ve just been watering the garden and checking on it – love doing that now. The children are a little older than your two, so it is easier to get them involved outside – couldn’t have done it so easily this time last year.
Wow, you’ve been busy! You can come and make a start on my house/garden/life now if you like 😉
No, sorry, I am done!! Thanks 😉
Wow, you’ve been so busy. I reckon if I could borrow you for one day my life would be a lot more organised! 🙂
Ha ha – maybe I should offer my services…?!
Wow! I’m not sure where you get the time and energy from! As soon as I get on top of the house stuff then the blog seems to suffer. I’m very impressed!
Have a lovely Easter! x
I’m not certain how I managed it either, to be honest, but I’m pleased! Thanks, and you x
What a great word! I find that if I concentrate on the house my blog suffers, if I concentrate on the blog, the house suffers. I need to find the clearly very hidden balance, lol #WotW
It’s a tricky balance, and I’m not too sure how I found it! Probably never be able to repeat it again 😉
Good grief, my head is spinning Jocelyn! Where do you find the time?! Such a brilliant feeling when you get on top of things though – my ironing basket is heaving at the moment. It’s causing me nightmares 😉 Great word!xx
It felt so good!
Wow, I’m exhausted just reading about your industrious-ness (is that a word?)! Some weeks it just all comes together and it feels great, and from your post it seems like ur feeling fantastic! Hope you let yourself enjoy some down time this Easter x
It did all come together, so now I’m relaxing!
Fantastic! I am a bit jealous. I have been striving for this feeling for a long time now. I know that I have managed to declutter a lot having just finished childminding 2 weeks ago. I know that will get there. But I am starting a new voluntary position on Tues and I am so nervous and wanted to be as organized as possible AND have lovely family time. But I haven’t been able to do everything. Well Done! Such a satisfying feeling.
hard to balance it all, I know. I just had one of those weeks where it came together, probably won’t be repeated for another 6 months now! Good luck with your new position x
Wow – serious industriousness 🙂 If you have any spare energy please do send some over to France !!
Oh, if only! None spare at all!
