Anyone who meets me for the first time quickly recognises just how important photography is to me. My camera is very rarely out of my hands – it’s pretty much an extension of me and I take it almost everywhere I go. I’ve been this way for as long as I can remember, though the…
Last January I read this post by Suzanne from Inside, Outside and Beyond and loved the idea of summing up the year in numbers (I can’t help it, I just love lists). I ended up putting my own post together (here) which measured 2017 according to all the things that were important to me 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…
At the start of January, a whole year ago now, I began a new twelve month long photography project: Life In 52. The idea was 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….
A festive edition of #projecthappy! We’ve had the most wonderful first half of the Christmas holidays. It’s been tiring and busy in the very best of ways and my heart is full. Plus we still have a whole week left to go! And now we find ourselves almost at the end of 2018 and preparing…
December has been the usual jam-packed and busy month of co-ordinating birthdays, school events and extra work alongside preparing for Christmas and making the magic happen.

We’ve finally finished school for the Christmas holidays and we are all SO ready for this break – it’s felt like a long term and the girls are exhausted. It’s been a lovely couple of weeks full of festive fun (in between school and work) and we’ve got even more to come. I can’t wait…
I’m still behind. And still determinedly working to catch up whilst giving myself grace that this busy season of life is really quite ridiculous and that I don’t need to do it all. As we creep through December I’m beginning to feel more festive and we’re all looking forward to the Christmas holidays and two…

This time last week, my eldest baby, Ella, turned twelve. TWELVE! How am I a mama to a twelve year old? I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday and now suddenly we’re here, on the cusp of teenagerhood, having almost completed her first full term at high school. I can’t quite…
