I’ve been feeling a little bit lost recently. Maybe even a lot lost. Up until recently, we hadn’t been on an adventure for weeks – the girls have been pretty much refusing to leave the house (other than to go to school of course) and whole weekends were being spent either stuck indoors or simply…
It’s taken me six months to get around to writing this birthday update for Mimi. Six months! Truthfully, it’s taken me that long because I’ve been in quite a tricky headspace with regards to our gorgeous middle daughter and I’ve struggled to put into words what I’ve been wanting to say.

I’m not quite sure how we’re suddenly at the end of October?
