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.

JUNE, JULY & AUGUST 2025

Before you read or scroll any further, may I suggest that you go and make yourself a cup of tea?  This is a bit of an epic collection of images – there are over a hundred in total – so you might want to find yourself somewhere comfy to sit and settle in for a while.

This summer has felt… full.  That’s the only word I have to describe it.  Full of moments, big and small.  Full of conversations and connection.  Full of time spent together.  Full of each of the girls getting to do things they really wanted to do.  Full of slow days spent at home.  Full of daytrips out to various places.  Full of way-too-much-screen-time and laughter and board games and magic light and pj days and ladybirds and bickering and baking and late nights and work and laundry and errands and emails and friends and silliness and snacks (so many snacks).

Full of making memories.

Full of feelings.

Full of everything it needed to be.

This was us, and all of our moments in between, throughout Summer 2025…
