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…

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…
When I first found out that I was expecting Ella, one April morning almost eleven years ago now, I knew that I would want to remember everything. I knew that if I didn’t record it, all the details would eventually fade over time. I also knew that I would be devastated if that happened. And so I…
On the only sunny day we had in half term we were waiting for a friend to arrive for a playdate. There was some beautiful sunlight streaming in through the windows (somehow managing to pierce through eight years worth of grubby handprints!) and Lola was dancing. This girl loves to twirl. She will only wear skirts or dresses…
