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…
I’ve been blogging for about 18 months now and, whilst I’ve not earned a single penny for my work (yet), I have been able to create some fun experiences for my girls to take part in. They may not pay the bills but they are teaching my daughters many valuable lessons: to say “yes” to having adventures; to grab opportunities with both hands; to…
I take hundreds of photos every month, and most of them don’t get shared with anyone, let alone online. And yet the moments in time that those photos capture are just as important a part of our story as the other images that I do choose to share. I created this blog as a way…
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…
Every year towards the end of July, the girls and I make a ‘Summer Holiday Bucket List’ full of all the things we’d like to do during the six week break from school.

Well, that was June (I think!) – I feel like I’ve blinked and missed it because it’s gone so quickly. How are we half way through the year already?! June has been a bit of an emotional month, full of lovely things and important milestones as well as a couple of less-lovely and unexpected things that popped…
In exactly three months time I’ll be on a plane somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean, on my way to Denver, Colorado. Back in January I entered a competition to win a space at Leap Retreat, an intimate workshop for just ten women, hosted by Sarah Cornish of My Four Hens Photography, who’s incredible family photography…
Last week was weird. There’s no other way to describe it. I’ve been feeling quite unsettled as a result of all the things that happened – probably because it was all within a relatively short space of time. And also – I’m realising as I’m writing this – because all of it was completely beyond my…
Today is Father’s Day. I wrote this post last year all about the wonderful Dad’s that my family and I are lucky enough to have in our lives and to be honest, there’s not really much more I can add to it – everything I wrote before still holds true. I’m still finding it hard not having my…
