Christmas is over for another year and I’ve been home from Colorado for almost three full months now. Sometimes I still wonder if it ever really happened at all and then I look up at the Christmas cards all my new friends sent me lined up along the bookcase in our lounge and I know I did. It just…
The last couple of weeks has been full-on with school activities, Christmas preparations, snow days and trying to get the last mountain of my work done, all whilst we all crawled towards the end of term. Somehow though it hasn’t felt particularly busy and I’m grateful for that. The unexpected snow brought lots of moments…
I feel like I’ve rediscovered my positivity a bit this week, after what seems like a long time of feeling very flat and down. Nothing like birthday celebrations and a bit of snow to boost the spirits hey? December is always a ridiculously busy time of year and I’m deliberately keeping it relatively low key this season – it…
It seems to be taking me forever to write about everything that happened at Leap Retreat. Considering I was only in Colorado for such a short time (literally a weekend!), I have so much I still want to share and finding the headspace to do it is proving difficult owing to this current busy season of birthdays…
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.

Somehow almost two months have passed since I attended Leap Retreat in Colorado. So far I’ve shared my initial thoughts and feelings about the whole experience in Part One, and what I got up to for 12 hours in Denver in Part Two. I figured it was probably about time I shared one of the…
This instalment of Project Happy feels very subdued as we lost our beautiful boy Pumpkin. It’s always tough to find joy when you’ve lost someone or something you love. It is there though. And this project is proof of that.
I follow many photographers on Facebook and Instagram, from all across the globe and all different walks of life. I love seeing their work, continually get inspired by the images they capture and regularly dream of having them photograph my family. One of those photographers is Steve Gerrard (no, not the footballer, although it’s quite…
Somehow another ten days have passed without me quite knowing where they’ve gone or what I’ve done with my time. It’s been a bit of a blur of poorly children; various workmen coming in and out of the house over the course of several days to fix our broken washing machine and replace our leaky…
