Hello and welcome to Word of the Week!
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. It’s a fun and friendly linky, so please do be lovely and visit as many of the other blogs as you can and share with them your thoughts on their words and weeks. I do comment on every entry to the linky, and if you add the Word of the Week badge to your post to help spread the ‘word’, I also tweet them out.
My word of the week this week is:
We’ve had one of those weeks where we’ve tried new things and done a few things differently, which I always enjoy.
At the weekend, Little Man went to a birthday party and the big difference is that the husband went along with him – I have done every single birthday party since Boo started getting invitations a few years ago, so this was a change! I was taking Boo swimming as I always do on a Saturday morning, so Little Man went along to his party with daddy. We then tried something different for lunch – it was soooo good and will be on the blog soon! Then on the evening, as Little Man has been having a few problems sleeping, we changed his duvet and pillow to the opposite end of the bed, hoping that a little difference might make him settle better – he liked it, so far so good!
We then tried something completely different on Sunday as we were invited to visit Jump Nation. I wasn’t too sure what to expect, but I have to say we had a brilliant time there and the kids are already asking to go back. I was surprised by how much I liked it, let alone the rest of the family, as I tend to prefer relatively inactive hobbies! I was not surprised to see the Husband bouncing and flying all over the place, often onto his bum as he attempted ridiculous stunts, it’s totally his sort of thing! All of us thoroughly enjoyed it and it’s one of those activities I can see us doing again on a rainy day to burn off some energy and it’s something that we can all do together. There was plenty of giggling going on, definitely one to try if you’ve not had a go yourself.
Mid-week, Little Man and I took my mum out for the day as it was her birthday, so that was a very lovely ‘different’ day for us all. This week has then started to feel a little different as festivities are creeping in. Yesterday our elf returned to us for the Christmas countdown, bringing Advent calendars with him, Boo’s started to make Christmas decorations and hang them all over the place and there’s talk of getting the tree up this weekend. It’s been a fun, different week.
What about you? What one word sums up your week best?
Please grab the badge, link up and share.
Linky opens at 6.30am Friday, to midnight on Sunday.
I so want to go to Jump Nation. It looks fab. Maybe next year. I hope little man sleeps a bit better; I often flip sides if I can’t sleep and it does work!! Thanks for hosting x
It is! Yes, it’s funny how little changes can make a difference x

Aww sounds lovely! Hope Little Man’s sleep improves and Happy Birthday to your mum 🙂
Thanks very much 🙂
That sounds like a fun week, it’s good to mix things up and do them differently sometimes. I hope your mum had a nice birthday.
It is, I like a change!
Love it when weeks are slightly different, new challenges etc. Sounds like you had a lot of fun!
We did, thanks!
Jump Nation is lots of fun isn’t it! We have one similar near us and in the summer we were all jumping – yes, me too! The kids loved seeing us try it. Glad you had a good time.
Sometimes it is good to be different, try new things as there can then become the new norms!
Xx
Yes, I think getting involved yourself makes it more fun for the kids – they like to laugh at us! x
What a brilliant word of the week — I love it! #wotw
Thank you!
I think sometimes doing things differently is so refrshing! Good that Little Man is sleeping well again. Thanks for hosting #wotw
Oh, I wouldn’t go as far as saying he’s sleeping ‘well’…!
Sounds like a good different. That jump nation looks lots of sweaty fun X #wotw
It’s so much fun! x
A change is as good as a rest or so they say, it feels good to do something different from the norm doesn’t it. Jump nation sounds like lots of fun not sure I would be brave enough though I would sit and watch ! #WotW
No, no, it’s all OK, you could join in! I didn’t think I would, but it’s hard to resist!
Ah it does sound like a really fun week Jocelyn! Great to try new things and make some changes, fingers crossed little man sleeps a bit better! Xx
Here’s hoping! x
Oh wow sounds like a great time, bounce, bounce, bounce hehe! Thanks for hosting #WotW
It was, thanks!
It sounds like a brilliant week….
Jump Nation sounds fantastic….I think my girls would love something like that!
Have a great weekend!
Oh, I’m sure they would! x
Ah it sounds fab, we always shared parties because they really stress me out ha ha! Thats one part of kids growing up I don’t miss, all those parties. and the days you have 3 in a day grrrr ! Its great hoe changing little mans bed around worked. I have always found with ours when things are not working that changing something works too, its that change of the norm they love x
A change makes such a difference, just breaks the cycle, I think. Oh, the parties – so many parties! x
It’s wonderful when we shake things up a bit and experience new things. I love trampolining too. #WotW
It is, lots of fun ☺
Nice to see you tried new things, I think I won’t bother next time if it involves baking! looks like you had great week though.
It as fun!
What a lovely week you had. Jump Nation sounds like a lot of fun and glad that you had a lovely day out with your mum too. Thank you for hosting #WotW 🙂
It was lovely, thank you x
