I’ve not been feeling particularly festive this year. I’m not sure why, I’ve just not been able to summon up that special brand of excitement that usually accompanies the month of December. I’ve not felt stressed or overwhelmed either, just… flat. That’s the only way I can think of to describe it. I didn’t want…
Just over a week ago we welcomed two tiny new members into our family. No, I’ve not had a well-hidden pregnancy that I’ve kept secret from everyone and no, we’ve not adopted. Well, not human babies anyway… After we lost our boy, Pumpkin, we were all devastated. We still are. Not a day goes by that I…
After the ridiculous craziness of September and October, we all needed November to be a quiet month. Ella and Lola thoughtfully shared their horrid cold with me, so I spent several days at the beginning feeling like death warmed up and we’ve stayed relatively close to home most of the time. As a result I’ve actually…
We lost our boy. It happened just over a week ago. He didn’t come home on Saturday night. He always comes home. He’s never stayed out all night. Ever. I wasn’t too worried at first – my Mum was visiting for the weekend and I was showing her all of my photos from Colorado and…
I follow many photographers on Facebook and Instagram, from all across the globe and all different walks of life. I love seeing their work, continually get inspired by the images they capture and regularly dream of having them photograph my family. One of those photographers is Steve Gerrard (no, not the footballer, although it’s quite…
I’ve been home from Leap Retreat for a month. A whole month! That’s almost unfathomable to me. It seems like it was only a couple of days ago that I was enveloped in the beautiful, magical place that is the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, and yet at the same time it seems so far away and so long ago…
This month’s Little Loves post was always going to be all about our family trip to Florida. It feels strange to be writing that when I remember that September’s post was written whilst I was in Denver, Colorado for Leap Retreat. Considering we haven’t been abroad for four years, to have been able to say yes to two incredible adventures in…
I sit writing this in a hotel room in Denver, Colorado. It’s Friday morning here, though if you’re reading this back home in England it’ll already be the afternoon. It still doesn’t quite feel real, even though I spent the whole of yesterday – 19 hours in total – travelling to get here, leaving the house at…
We’re currently coming to the end of Week Five of the summer holidays and it’s certainly been a month to remember for all sorts of reasons. Here are all the little things I’ve been loving lately throughout August… READ I’ve not read very much this month at all. We’ve either been out and about having fun or I’ve…
Time is a funny old thing isn’t it. All of the other months so far this year have absolutely whizzed by and yet July has felt like the longest month on record to me. I think it’s because we’ve all been on our knees with exhaustion, just willing it to be the end of the term so…
