Back in October we took the holiday-of-a-lifetime to Walt Disney World in Florida, staying at the fabulous Balmoral Resort. We’d saved up for (quite literally) years to be able to do it, making the big decision to take the trip to The Magic Kingdom rather than use our hard-earned savings towards the deposit on a…
When I was a child, I don’t think I was really aware that Walt Disney World was a real place. Of course I grew up watching all the films (my favourites were Aladdin and The Little Mermaid) and I knew all the words to every song but I didn’t know that there was an actual…
Our Happy Jar is quickly becoming my new favourite family tradition. Every year, on 1st January, we start with an empty jar. It lives in our kitchen and I leave a little stack of coloured paper and a pen nearby. Throughout the year we each write down the little things (and big things!) that we’ve…

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…
It seems a little strange to be writing about this now, on the final day of the year. Looking backwards when my head is already firmly in the mindset of looking forwards to how I want 2018 to be and what I can do to actively create that. But this was too special a weekend…
Two weeks ago Ella celebrated her eleventh birthday. Eleven! I almost can’t believe it. I thought her turning ten last year felt like she was all grown up. It’s got nothing on eleven though. Eleven feels…different. She’s on the cusp of so many changes and it’s going to be a learning curve for both of…
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…
I normally take hundreds of photos every month, and usually most of them don’t get shared with anyone, let alone online. This month is a little different. I’ve taken fewer photos, and many of those that you see here have already been shared, either in other blog posts or on my Instagram. But because there are less images,…
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…
