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 Read More
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 Read More
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 Read More
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 Read More
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 Read More
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 Read More
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 Read More
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 Read More
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 Read More
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 Read More
