Easy elf on the shelf ideas | 32 elf on the shelf ideas to see you through December

Easy elf on the shelf ideas | 32 elf on the shelf ideas to see you through December

Posted on November 29, 2018November 29, 2018 by Alana

Love it or hate it, elf on the shelf is huge … and I don’t think it’s going away anytime soon. We’ve been doing it for the past couple of years, but a bit half-heartedly as our boys have been too young to really get it. This year, our eldest son has been asking for

A mother’s thoughts on the last day of the first year of school

Posted on July 19, 2018July 19, 2018 by Alana

This is another one of those eye roll if you don’t have children statements, but how on earth is it the end of term already? I’m sure it was only a few days ago that I dressed our biggest boy in an oversized polo shirt and trousers, hugged him as tightly as I could and

10 things you should never say to a new parent

10 things you should never say to a new parent

Posted on October 10, 2017October 10, 2017 by Alana

When you become a parent there’s so much to get used to … no sleep, figuring out what your baby wants when they cry, why the poppers on a babygro never do up quite right, the onslaught of visitors. And often, visitors who just don’t say the right thing. How many of these have you

To my darling biggest boy, How can you be three already? I know it’s a cliché, but I can’t believe how quickly the years have gone. How quickly you’re growing up, and how quickly you’ve changed from a baby to a toddler and now a young boy. Three means starting school, buying a uniform and

Siblings in April: Little mischief makers

Siblings in April: Little mischief makers

Posted on April 16, 2017April 16, 2017 by Alana

April’s Siblings post has crept up so quickly, in fact I missed the 15th which is when I aim to write it. I blame all the holiday shopping and packing! I think this month has seen the biggest change so far in our two boys’ relationship. I’ve said most months that they’re starting to interact

TAKING part in a monthly photo project really makes time fly by. It felt like I’d only just posted February’s Siblings photos when I realised I needed to take my pics for March! I’m so glad I’ve decided to join in with Siblings this year as it’ll be lovely to look back at photos of

All change: The end of shared parental leave and back to work full time

All change: The end of shared parental leave and back to work full time

Posted on March 5, 2017March 5, 2017 by Alana

THREE months ago I wrote about our family dynamic changing as I ended my maternity leave early to start a new job and Stew took on the role as temporary stay-at-home dad on shared parental leave. It’s hard to believe that those three months are now coming to and end and it’s all change again

Posted on February 27, 2017March 12, 2017 by Alana

IT feels like we haven’t actually been anywhere for weeks now, and for three Mondays I haven’t had any outdoors photos to choose from for my Living Arrows post.. We seem to have had a lot of weekend plans – meeting friends, birthday parties, nights out – which is quite rare for us, and means

I can’t believe quite how disorganised I’ve been this month. Even though I’m co-hosting the Be in the Picture link-up, I didn’t actually manage to get a photo with me in until this morning. Ok, I tell a lie, there was a photo of me with the boys at the swimming pool in Bluestone, but

Siblings Photography Project: February 2017

Posted on February 23, 2017 by Alana

I’m mega late writing my siblings post for February, even though I had my photos taken on time … I’m just not organised enough to sit down and get things done! Anyway, these photos were taken at the Blue Lagoon during our recent stay at Bluestone. We first went two years ago, when S was
