June has been an absolutely beautiful month – full of sunshine and hot weather and fun adventures. We’re very much on the countdown towards the summer holidays now with just three weeks of school left before the six week break. We’re all looking forward to having no fixed schedule; going on day trips; enjoying slow,…
Last year, Lola went on a school trip to Warwick Castle with her classmates as they were learning all about ‘Kings & Queens’ as their topic for the term. She came home that afternoon super excited, talking non-stop about her day and all the things she’d seen and learnt, her eyes wide with wonder and…
It’s been an emotional rollercoaster of a week this week, with all the girls needing some extra TLC and cuddles. As exhausting as it can sometimes feel to have to navigate it all, I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m grateful that they can talk to me about the things that are troubling…

It’s going to be a season…

We’ve had almost constant clear blue skies, the most glorious sunshine AND it’s mostly been really warm – I can’t even begin to describe how good…
A VERY late edition of Project Happy. Half term was such a whirlwind that I wasn’t on my laptop very much and once we got home from our mini road-trip and the girls went back to school I had a ridiculous amount of work to catch up on plus lots of new work coming in. …
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…
