I take hundreds of photos every month, and most of them don’t get shared with anyone, let alone online. And yet the moments in time that those photos capture are just as important a part of our story as the other images that I do share.
I created this blog as a way of documenting our lives, a way of watching the girls grow into who they’re going to be and a way of remembering who they once were. It’s something I want them to be able to look back on as they get older, because memories fade but (digital) photographs don’t.
It’s easy (and tempting) to only focus on sharing the fun bits, the memorable parts and the celebrations. But I’m learning more and more as I continue through this crazy journey of motherhood that it’s really important to me that I capture the ordinary, everyday times that we spend together as well. The bits of the jigsaw that fill in the gaps to complete the picture. The tantalising glimpses into who our girls are becoming.
The chaos, the calm and all the moments in between.
This monthly feature – The Moments In Between – is a space for me to share all of those magical bits that would otherwise just stay in a folder on my laptop, never to see the light of day.

Oh I love this. I think I’d love to share my moments in between. What a greta idea. I love all the moments you have captured, those little ones and the slightly bigger ones too. Just beautiful x

Oh thank you Donna! I love getting to the end of the month and collating all of the images together. I find it helps when I’ve had a super-busy month and am a bit worried that I haven’t really connected with my girls as much as I could have done – this remind me that in amongst all the busy-ness and chaos there have been lots of calm and quiet moments too. I’d love for you to join in with this project – why not give it a try?
