We’ve never really done ‘package parties’ for any of the girls birthdays, always preferring to organise our own because a/ they usually work out a little bit cheaper and b/ even though I’m an introvert I do really enjoy playing at being the hostess on the odd occasion! Birthday parties that we’ve arranged in previous years have included a…
A little post and a few pictures from my birthday 🙂 We were blessed with glorious, hot and sunny weather all weekend. I normally live in jeans, but I actually got my legs out and wore a skirt for once! The girls were doubly stunned that I went out without a coat as well. I’m so much happier…
Four years ago, the day after my 29th birthday, I began a ’30 Things Before I’m 30′ project. I gave myself just twelve months to complete thirty things on a list I’d created which contained a pretty random mixture of experiences I wanted to have, things I wanted to try and personal goals I wanted to achieve by…

We’re currently on a week-long holiday in Cornwall and today is our last day here. I’ve been sharing a few photos on my Facebook page with snippets of what we’ve been up to and there will be full posts with all the details and lots more photos to follow when we’re home. We’ve had a…
Hello! Welcome to my brand new blog ‘Picture Taker, Memory Maker’. I’ve been wanting to start my own family-based blog for a long time now, but wasn’t brave enough to take the plunge – after all, who would want to read about little old me and my *slightly* crazy family? I’ve been taking photographs since I was…
