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 originally created this blog as a method of documenting our lives, a way of watching the girls grow into who they’re going to be and a memory-box curated to represent who they once were. It’s something I want them to be able to look back on as they get older, because memories fade but (digital) photographs don’t.  A legacy, of sorts.

It’s easy (and tempting) to only focus on sharing the fun bits, the memorable parts, the highlights and the celebrations. But I’m learning more and more as I continue through this wild journey of motherhood and life that it’s really important to me that I capture the ordinary, everyday times that we spend together.  There’s magic in the mundane if you pay close enough attention – sometimes you have to actively look for it, and sometimes it’s right there in front of you.

I’ve started to include myself in the frame from time to time as well, because I was there too.

These images are the details – the pieces of the jigsaw that fill in the gaps to complete the bigger picture of ‘us’.

They offer tantalising glimpses into who the girls are becoming.

They tell the story of the chaos, the calm and all of the moments in between.

This feature – The Moments In Between – is a space for me to share all of those wonderfully imperfect and messy parts of family life that would otherwise just stay in a folder on my laptop, never to see the light of day.

MARCH, APRIL & MAY 2026

Spring came and went in the blink of an eye and I’ve felt a perpetual sense of running to catch up for the whole season – never quite getting things done, never quite being able to slow down or stop, never quite able to grasp hold of a moment.  It’s fullness has left me feeling more than a little bit breathless.

Despite life being so very busy, I’ve not really got much to say.  So I’m mostly going to let the photographs do the talking.

One thing I noticed is that there’s a lot of colour in the images I’ve shared, and I like that – after the flat greys of Winter, it’s a welcome shift.  And, as ever, there’s a mix of the highlight reel of big celebrations, the smaller details that will forever be my favourite way of storytelling, and the quiet documentation of what goes on behind the scenes.

This was us, and all of our moments in between, throughout Spring…
