Back in October, which seems forever ago now, we had to choose which three high schools we wanted to put down on Ella’s application for placement this coming September. Firstly, I still can’t quite believe that my baby, the one who made me a mother, is going to high school in less than six months…
I’ve been wrestling with writing this post for six weeks now. Six weeks ago, on 7th February 2018, it was the third anniversary of my Dad’s death. As is natural, I thought about Dad a lot around that date, and felt a whole mixture of feelings that I’m only just beginning to untangle, which is…

I always find January to be a bit of a contradictory month. In some ways I feel sad that the joy of the Christmas festivities is over and yet another part of me can’t wait to get the decorations down, get back to normality (for a little while anyway) and embrace the slower pace. Likewise,…
Back in October we took the holiday-of-a-lifetime to Walt Disney World in Florida, staying at the fabulous Balmoral Resort. We’d saved up for (quite literally) years to be able to do it, making the big decision to take the trip to The Magic Kingdom rather than use our hard-earned savings towards the deposit on a…
When I was a child, I don’t think I was really aware that Walt Disney World was a real place. Of course I grew up watching all the films (my favourites were Aladdin and The Little Mermaid) and I knew all the words to every song but I didn’t know that there was an actual…
