It’s taken me six months to get around to writing this birthday update for Mimi. Six months! Truthfully, it’s taken me that long because I’ve been in quite a tricky headspace with regards to our gorgeous middle daughter and I’ve struggled to put into words what I’ve been wanting to say. I wrote this post…
Half term and the first week back at school seems to have flown by – I can’t believe we’re already a third of the way through November. It feels like we’re hurtling towards Christmas at full speed ahead and these next few weeks are so busy that I have a feeling it’s going to be…
At the start of January I began a new year-long photography project: Life In 52. The idea is simple – to take one photo a week for each week of the year. It’s a lifestyle photography project, documenting little snippets of my life that I want to remember. The project is being hosted by Sarah…
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…
Gosh it has felt like a long old start to the school year. Seven and a half weeks of adjusting to our new routine and we’ve finally made it to the much-needed half term break. We’re keeping it slow and enjoying our Autumn traditions which, after the busy-ness of school life in recent weeks, I…
I’m not quite sure how we’re suddenly at the end of October?

I can’t quite believe it was a whole year ago that we were on our way to Walt Disney World Florida in October 2017. The build up to our holiday-of-a-lifetime seemed monumental, even more so because we kept it a secret from the girls for nine whole months, only telling them about our surprise four…
The weeks seem to be flying by at the moment. Someone told me the other day that it’s only about ten weeks until Christmas and I just can’t wrap my head around that. We’ve only just had summer! It’s been busy as usual – school and work and life. Decision-making and family stuff and never…
