This week has mostly been about getting back to normal after Christmas. I’ve been reflecting on 2016 and making plans for 2017. Where was I when the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve? asleep in bed. We figured we can celebrate New Year’s Eve in future years when we don’t have a baby that […]
Happy New Year. I’m sure you are all sick of reading about new years resolutions by now but I wanted to write this post to remind myself what is important to me. I’m not one for making new years resolutions. Who wants to start a diet in January when it’s cold and the house is […]

2016 was the year our family became complete. We always wanted two children and this year we were lucky enough to have the tiny ladybird join our family. In many ways, she is so similar to her big sister but in others, she is completely different. We have spent the last 6 months getting to […]

Yesterday we took a trip to Salford quays to see Lightwaves 2016. This is a light installation which includes some of Blackpool illuminations (a very small selection). This Heartbeat installation only works if you place a hand on a sensor, hold hands with someone and they put their hand on the opposite sensor. The lights […]

It’s been a tough week here. I mentioned last week that the tiny one had been ill. She’s been a lot better this week but she’s still waking every 2 hours at night, sometimes more. I started with a cold last Friday, thankfully it didn’t give me many other symptoms for more than a couple […]

On Monday I shared with you our book advent calendar plans. Today I will be sharing with you another tradition we started last year and plan to continue.
