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…
I only decided halfway through today, a bank holiday Saturday, that I wanted to document it. I don’t know what inspired me. I just suddenly had a gut-wrenching urge to capture ‘us’. All of us. The good and the not-so-good. There was nothing special about today – it’s just been an ordinary day. A day of me…
Gosh this month seems to have zoomed by… again! I feel like I say it in pretty much every post I write (and to be fair I probably do), but I just don’t know where this year is disappearing to. April was a month of sunshine, family time and plenty of treats – it’s been…
Every year we visit Bude in North Cornwall for a week-long family holiday. I’ve written before about how both my husband and I spent a lot of time there as children and how we’re now passing on the tradition with our girls by returning to the same place and making plenty of new memories together…
As I sit here typing this it’s the middle of the Easter holidays and we’ve not long arrived home from a week-long holiday in Cornwall. The husband is on his way back from taking the teenager home (*sob* – we’ve loved having her for the week and wish she could stay for longer) and I’m taking a break…
Last Sunday was Mother’s Day and I was lucky enough to be thoroughly spoilt with homemade cards from the girls, a card they picked out at the shop with their Daddy, a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and Ed Sheeran’s new CD (which has been on non-stop in my car ever since!). They wrote such lovely words inside the…
How are we at the end of March already?! The Easter holidays are on the horizon, the evenings are getting lighter and the sunshine is putting in an appearance a little more often now, teasing us with the promise of warmer weather. That must mean it’s time for me to do a round up of all the…

Trentham Gardens is one of our favourite local places to visit and we usually go at least once in each season – it’s beautiful there year-round, with the ever-changing landscape and garden displays and there is plenty to keep family members of all generations entertained. Summertime shows off glorious bursts of colour (the wildflower meadows are my…
Last week, on 22nd March 2017, my blog turned one year old! I can’t believe I launched Picture Taker Memory Maker a whole year ago – the time seems to have flown by so quickly and simultaneously it feels like it’s been a part of my life forever. I honestly can’t imagine venturing out without…
