Having three children means that our house is constantly noisy. Giggles and laughter, bickering and shouting, the TV, impromptu Sunday morning kitchen discos… it’s rarely quiet. (I tried to upload a video that the husband took of me dancing with the girls but it refused to load. Probably a good thing!) And then when the girls…
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 share. I created this blog as a way of documenting our lives,…
Mimi turned eight earlier on this week. We’ve been having a bit of a challenging time with her recently and so we wanted to make it an extra special day for her. Of course, you always want your children’s birthdays to be memorable don’t you? This one just felt a little different – in my head…
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!

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…

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…
