It's the face on the balloon and the party hat perched on the vacuum cleaner that make me giggle 😂

Welcome to #thekidswerehereloop where we try to capture the beauty in the chaos of living with children. We opt to find the joy in the imperfection. Click the hashtag to follow along and see how each artist has turned a mess into a memory.

⭐️S E V E N T E E N⭐️
.
A certain someone turned 17 just over a week ago and I still can't quite believe it.
.
Celebrations lasted all month: she went to see her favourite band @theksofficial ; she had a sleepover at her best friend's house (where there was zero actual sleeping and a lot of 2am baking); and we went out for dinner as a family. Balloons and cards and gifts and a whole lot of love.
.
@mimirose_12 I feel so incredibly lucky that I get to be your Mum (or 'mom' as you prefer to say) - you bring so much joy and fun to our lives. Your insane artistic talent amazes me every single day and whilst I may never fully understand your obsession with Criminal Minds (I do try!), hearing you laugh and seeing you smile is one of my most favourite things on earth. Keep on being exactly who you are - we love you more than you'll ever know ❤️ 🫶

(Swipe for the silly photos - my favourites!)

42 🥳
.
Last year was a bit of a rollercoaster with a lot of big life changes to navigate and, apparently, the wild ride continues. Maybe that's just life now - one loop-the-loop after another.
.
I'm deeply grateful to get the opportunity to take another trip around the sun; grateful for all the lessons that last year taught me; grateful for the ups and downs and tears and laughter and joy and sadness and shadows and light and big conversations and letting go. Grateful for love, of which there is plenty. Grateful to still be coming home to myself. Grateful for all of it.
.
I haven't really felt like being in front of the camera recently. Figured I'd make the effort and... I'm glad I did. This is me, now, and that's worth documenting.

Exam season is underway...
.
Between all three girls there are 22 exams in total for them to sit throughout May and June 😳 ... Year 10 GCSE Mocks for Lola; A Level Mocks for Mimi; and actual A Levels for Ella.
.
They're all revising hard and I am mostly making sure there is a steady supply of snacks and drinks available, making regular reminders to go out for some fresh air, and administering occasional hugs when the emotions get a bit much.
