Last week was weird. There’s no other way to describe it. I’ve been feeling quite unsettled as a result of all the things that happened – probably because it was all within a relatively short space of time. And also – I’m realising as I’m writing this – because all of it was completely beyond my…
Sundays are pretty sacred in our house. It’s the only day of the week where all of us are together and so we try to keep them for day trips and adventures and exploring new places. Sometimes things get in the way of those adventures – lovely things like family or friends coming to visit, or a birthday party…
Today is Father’s Day. I wrote this post last year all about the wonderful Dad’s that my family and I are lucky enough to have in our lives and to be honest, there’s not really much more I can add to it – everything I wrote before still holds true. I’m still finding it hard not having my…
A couple of days ago the husband and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary. Well, I say ‘celebrated’. Truth be told it was kind of a weird day. But that’s for a future blog post, coming soon… 😉 I can’t quite believe that we’ve been married for three years already – it’s crazy how fast…
A couple of weeks ago Mimi, our middle daughter, turned nine. I think I’m still in a little bit of denial. I can’t believe that nine whole years have passed since I welcomed her into the world, ten days after her due date, her crazy head of pitch black hair and her powerful lungs surprising us all. She still surprises us on…
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…
May has seemed like a really busy month and yet it feels like we haven’t really ‘done’ very much. Looking back through my diary and my camera roll it’s mainly been commitments at the girls’ school, work-related stuff and birthdays that have been keeping us occupied. As a result I realised that we’ve not actually had any adventures out and…
How is it the end of May already?! I swear I was only writing last month’s Little Loves post a week or so ago. Summer feels like it’s decided to arrive, it’s half term next week and we’ve had a busy month. Here are all the little things I’ve been loving lately throughout May… Read…
Regular readers of my blog will know that we visit Bude in North Cornwall for a week-long family holiday every single year without fail. We have family traditions that we to love to maintain and we also make a point of discovering and exploring new places that we’ve not come across before. You can read more about this year’s…
A couple of weeks ago I turned thirty-four. Thirty-four! The words sound alien because in my head I feel about sixteen. And yet here I am, more than double the age I feel, somewhat bemused as to where the time has gone and how I’ve ended up here. All in all it was a pretty…
