I must admit I lost my blogging mojo over the past few weeks – so I’m sorry for my silence. Since we got back from Wales, things have been rather mad with work, we’ve been decorating the house so we’re … Continue reading

A perfect day at Picton Castle {Pembrokeshire 2016)
We’re back in London after a fabulous week in Pembrokeshire with our friend Katharine and her daughter Emilia. I’ve got literally hundreds of photographs to sort through so I’m afraid you’re going to have to endure several holiday posts so … Continue reading
March in pictures
I was just about to start writing about our Pembrokeshire holiday adventures, but then remembered that I have a bunch of photos from March that I haven’t shared, so here’s a quick photo post to catch you up. A major … Continue reading
The good life
I’m writing from beautiful (and rather rainy) Pembrokeshire where we’re at the start of a week-long family holiday. We drove from London on a gloriously sunny spring day, slightly grumpy to be stuck in the car. With it being a … Continue reading
A family walk around Down House
After a quiet weekend staying close to home to give the children a chance to get over the extreme tiredness that seemed to hit them at the end of the school term, we decided it was time for a family … Continue reading
My siblings {March 2016} – puppy love
With the weather pretty grim this month, and another spell of nasty colds hitting Alex and Sophie, I’ve struggled to capture a sibling moment for March. I’ve rarely had the camera out and when I have, my pair have not been particularly cooperative! … Continue reading
Growing and giving {The Ordinary Moments 16}
It’s such a cliche to comment on how fast time is passing and how my children seem to grow so quickly. But as I’m sitting here surrounded in a new batch of school uniform for Sophie’s nursery, writing her name in every … Continue reading
A champion Mothers’ Day at the Track World Cup 2016
A lazy morning with breakfast in bed wasn’t on the cards for me this Mothers’ Day! I did have time to have a quick look at the fabulous cards the children had made me at school, before were up and out … Continue reading
Me and Mine {February 2016}
Our attempt at a February “Me and Mine” photograph was somewhat rushed at the end of a completely manic family weekend. On Saturday, Alex’s social calendar was full with two birthday parties, so Matt set off early with him to … Continue reading
A muddy day at Morden Hall Park
I’ve said it before on my blog many times – but I love how many green spaces there are near where I live. I know it’s not quite the same as heading out into the proper countryside, but I adore … Continue reading
Half term fun at the Horniman
With our half term plans somewhat scuppered by illness, we ended up staying very local – but that didn’t mean it was boring! The weather was glorious last Thursday, so I took the children to one of our favourite local … Continue reading
Celebrating Chinese New Year
Half term has whizzed past – so I’ve got some blog updating to do! It hasn’t quite been the half term week we’d hoped for, with our original plan to spend a few days in the New Forest with Katharine … Continue reading
January in pictures
Just sorting through photos as I start my 2016 photobook, and thought I’d share a few snapshots from January – our lives according to my smartphone! Alex and I had a special day out together a couple of weeks ago … Continue reading
A very muddy “Me and Mine” {January 2016}
I’ve had in the back of my mind trying to take part in the “Me and Mine” project this year – taking a whole family portrait every month. After a failed attempt last weekend (more on that in another blog), … Continue reading
Christmas at Kew – a glowing start to 2016
I’ve just realised I completely forgot to write about the first day of 2016 which is a shame as it was a fantastic start to the year. We went back to Kew Gardens to explore their Christmas Light trail. Having … Continue reading
