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 choose to share. I originally created this blog as a…
We made it! July has brought with it the start of the summer holidays and I have never been so glad to reach the end of a school term before. We survived homeschooling for 14 whole weeks (plus the Easter holidays and May half term, 17 weeks in total). I did actually really enjoy having…
At the end of January 2020 I began using essential oils in our home. I posted about our experiences a few times on my Instagram stories and in return received quite a few questions about using oils. I thought I’d write a blog post to answer them all and also to share a little bit…

We had grand plans and high hopes for Mimi’s twelfth birthday. We were supposed to be in Edinburgh in Scotland for the weekend and were intending to surprise her with an afternoon filled with exploring the Harry Potter trail and seeking out the best ice cream in the city (according to my friend Zoe, who…
