Our weekends seem to be either super busy or super slow. We never seem to have anything in between. Last week was a busy weekend seeing both mine and my husband’s family. This weekend we had no plans what so ever. This doesn’t happen often and if I’m honest I don’t really like weekends where […]

Last week, E turned 9 months old. The biggest change this month is that she is on the move. Not crawling around on her hands and knees but dragging herself around on her belly. She’s getting faster at using her arms to pull herself along, though. She does get up on all fours (and rocks […]

This month, I am much happier with my collection of photos than I was for last month’s home life project. I love the colours and light in all these photos. Saturday was a lovely sunny day here in Cheshire so I was keen to go out somewhere. We had a quiet morning at home and […]

Welcome to another month of the Home life project. We’ve had a mixed weekend here. Saturday we went to Trentham gardens and had a lovely day exploring in the sunshine. Sunday was a much slower day at home. I thought I would use my photos from Saturday as this month’s Home Life Project but as […]

I’ve enjoyed photography for many years now but since E was born in June, I have used my “big” camera (a canon 400d) a lot less. With all the things that we take out for the day with two young children, I rarely want to take my DSLR too. I taught myself to shoot manually […]
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 […]

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. We’ve collected a fair few Christmas toys over the past few years. Instead of just getting them out, I decided to make it more special. I wrapped […]

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 […]

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 […]
