I’m going to admit that I struggled this week. Everyone is tired, there is a lot of bickering and stomping around the house going on, and none of us can wait for half term to arrive. Finding tiny pockets of joy in the everyday juggle felt hard. But, I did it. And that’s what matters.
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 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…

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 created this blog as a way…
This time a year ago, at the end of September 2017, I was getting ready to head off on my first solo adventure in thirteen years. I’d been trying to mentally prepare myself for my trip for the best part of nine months, ever since I found out that I’d won a competition to travel…
September is my favourite month of the year and it feels like it has zoomed by. I always see September as my ‘new year’ and begin the month full of ideas and with plenty of grand plans I want to put into action. It takes me until we’re a couple of weeks in to finally…
Over the last couple of years Instagram has become my favourite social media channel by far. I love the feel of community that has developed, the interesting conversations I have with people, the creative inspiration I draw from those I follow and, of course, the gorgeous images that I get to scroll through on a…
