Somehow an entire month has been and gone since I took part in the ClickinMoms Annual Photo Hunt. How is that even possible? I feel like I’m in a constant state of bewilderment at how fast the days, weeks and months are flying past. I really should be more used to it by now. That…
August has been a funny old month. We’ve not really done very much and yet my head has still felt full – distracted I guess – with all sorts of things. I had grand hopes for fun day trips and exciting weekly adventures with the girls before quickly realising that they weren’t going to happen…
As a Mum and as a photographer, I know just how important it is to document your memories. To capture those moments that illustrate your life at any given moment. To freeze time on your family, exactly as they are, right now. Photographs are key to telling our stories, to ensuring that we are seen…
The beginning of July feels like forever ago and yet the month seems to have gone really quickly – how is it the 1st of August already?! We are currently almost at the end of the second week of the six week summer holidays and they are disappearing far too fast for my liking. We’ve…
I follow a LOT of photographers online. I find it inspiring seeing such an incredible amount of variety in people’s work and art, and I frequently find myself gathering new ideas for different perspectives to try; alternative ways to photograph something; and simple tips, suggestions and ‘how to’ techniques with regards to the more technical…
June seems to have passed by quite quickly and I’m not entirely sure how we’re halfway through the year already. I said that to someone the other day and their response was to cheerfully let me know that “it’ll be Christmas before we know it!”. Um, no. Just, no. In contrast to the last four…
May felt like a total whirlwind of a month. We got home from our annual Easter trip to Cornwall at the end of April and exactly one month later we jetted off to Boston for May half term! The girls had precisely sixteen days of actual school (plus weekends in between) and during that time…
On my 33rd birthday three years ago, I posted a list of 40 things I want to do, achieve and experience before I turn 40 years old in 2023. I’d originally started the list when I turned thirty but I hadn’t launched my blog at that point so it existed solely in the relative privacy…
April has been a month of two halves. The Easter holidays couldn’t have arrived quickly enough after an intense fortnight of complete and utter chaos in the lead up to them. Work and school were overwhelmingly busy for each of us and there was some kind of event (sporting-, acting- or house-related) happening on almost…
March has been an interesting month. It has felt pretty full-on, intense, and, if I’m honest, rather stressful at times. I’m going to be quite glad to see the back of it. We still have no kitchen following the fire we had last month, although thankfully things are starting to move forwards now and we…
