September has arrived and the girls are back at school so I’m just over here reminiscing about the final stretch of the summer holidays that already feels like forever ago. Weeks five and six were a lot of fun and we loved having the teenager with us for a few days too. Here are our…
Somehow an entire month has been and gone since I took part in the ClickinMoms Annual Photo Hunt. How is that even possible? I feel like I’m in a constant state of bewilderment at how fast the days, weeks and months are flying past. I really should be more used to it by now. That…
Weeks four and five of the summer holidays brought mixed weather, mixed moods and mixed success with outings – we had some brilliant fun and some awful arguments, some glorious sunshine and some torrential rain. But, as I am constantly being reminded, the happy moments are there if you look for them, even if they’re…
August has been a funny old month. We’ve not really done very much and yet my head has still felt full – distracted I guess – with all sorts of things. I had grand hopes for fun day trips and exciting weekly adventures with the girls before quickly realising that they weren’t going to happen…
We are rapidly approaching the final few days of the summer holidays before the girls go back to school and here I am sharing what we got up to in Week 3. I guess that’s testament to what the summer has been like. My head has felt full of mush with regards to work and…

The first two weeks of the summer holidays feel like forever ago already – the time is going so fast. I had been feeling like we haven’t really done very much so far (beyond multiple trips to the library and shopping for school uniforms) but as I look back over these images I can see…
Writing this, wistfully remembering our family adventure in Boston in May half term, got me thinking back about our holidays over the years. When the girls were small, we couldn’t afford to travel. My therapy business was still in the very early stages as I emerged from maternity leave with three babies aged 3 and…
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…
