How is it December next week? This week has flown by. We spent the weekend seeing family. The tiny one has been ill this week with a cough and a cold, thankfully not a particularly bad one but it’s been enough to make her want to be cuddled pretty much all the time. Read I […]

We have been visiting the lake district in October, most years, for a good few years now. Before we had Children we would stay in bed and breakfasts in Ambleside or Keswick. We once even camped in pods near Windermere (very cold in October). Since the ladybird was born we have been staying in self-catering […]

It’s fair to say my eldest has inherited my love of autumn. I love the colours of the leaves at this time of year, they’re so rich and jewel-like. This year feels like the first year the ladybird has really enjoyed autumn. She moved up to the preschool room at the nursery in September and seems […]

Some days have been busy too with swimming lessons for both girls and I did a peadiatric first aid course. Anyway here are this week’s little loves. Read I started subscribing to […]

Did you see I published a blog post on Wednesday about a visit to Coombes valley we enjoyed last month? Blogging twice in a week is a pretty big deal for me at the moment. We are still not getting a lot of sleep in this house. How was bonfire night in your house? I […]
A few weeks back we took a trip to Coombes valley, a RSPB reserve in Staffordshire. It’s somewhere we’ve been meaning to visit for a long time. So long that I can no longer remember how I heard about it. The main reason we visited was for the play trail which I thought my edlest […]

It’s been a while since I joined in with little loves, let’s be honest, it’s been a while since I blogged at all. All I will say is the four month sleep regression is real and sucks! we are starting to get a few good nights again so I hope to blog more. No promises […]

Two months already. E is doing really well and we are starting to find a new normal but we are far from having a routine. Every day (and night) is still different. Sometimes the unpredictability is hard or frustrating but I know it gets easier and I’m enjoying lots of newborn cuddles. She’s started smiling […]
