A Little Pause

I think it's important to occasionally take a moment to PAUSE and look around you and take in what's actually going on. Often, life barrels along at such a fast pace that we feel to slow down or pause is almost like cheating. But it's not and this is something that we should remember.

I paused HARD this Christmas and I gotta tell you - it was divine. The laptop was closed, the phone was left IN THE OTHER room, okay that's a lie but it WAS across the room and I ate and drank with wild abandon. And I didn't feel guilty - 2015 was a great year, a CRAZY busy year and I know I deserved a break. 2015 was the year that we opened two successful Pop Up Shops in Dublin City, that the Bear & I (and Gizmo of course) and our lovely abode featured on TELEVISION, that April and the Bear delved into the world of interior consulting and of course it's the year that the Bear and I tied the knot.

So just before I fully un-pause and once again hurl myself into the New Year, I'd like to say thank you so much. Thank you to all the wonderful people in my life that have made 2015 great, you know who you are and you know that I love and appreciate you and to all the wonderful A&TB customers - thank you. You have made all the difference.

Here's to 2016! May it be full of wonder and happiness and a few well deserved pauses.

April and the Bear is an award-winning DIY/ lifestyle and interiors blog. Dublin-based interior enthusiast/ blogger and entrepreneur Siobhan Lam shares her own experiences of doing up her home in Portobello ... be warned it involves head wounds, bruised shins, fire engines and never-ending mountains of dust. Don’t let this deter you though – we want to encourage and help other not-so-handy individuals to throw caution to the wind and pick up that sledge hammer, but to do so with slightly bent knees and a hard hat firmly on your head. 

 

April and the Bear blog attracts devoted readers from across the globe, we won 'Best Business Blog' at the Image.ie Blog Awards 2014 and were nominated for the 2014 The BOPS and The Blog Awards 2014 AND we were nominated for 'Best Online Shop' in the Irish Times Best Shops Competition 2015.
