Thomas’s first trip to Chessington World of Adventures

23/08/201823/08/2018
Me, hubby, Thomas and Sophie on the Gruffalo River Ride Adventure

It’s been a little while since our last trip to Chessington. I had hoped to take Sophie for a day out before Thomas arrived but the combination of a heatwave and being heavily pregnant made the prospect of a theme park day out less appealing. We’re now starting to venture out more again as a… Read More

Precious moments: Capturing those early days

21/08/201820/08/2018
Baby Thomas lying on a sheepskin rug

Those newborn days are such precious ones. There is just something about a teeny tiny, brand-new baby. I love the feel of a new baby snuggled up to me; the way they’re still all curled up. I love that newborn baby smell; the snuffles and the little sounds they make and even that newborn baby… Read More

#365daysofgratitude – Week 33

19/08/201818/08/2018
A double rainbow over houses - "#365daysofgratitude"

For the last two years, I have taken part in a daily gratitude challenge – sharing one photo a day on Instagram of something I am grateful for. It’s taught me to look for the little things and has made me a more positive person. It has not always been easy to find something to… Read More

Friday Focus 17/08/18 – Catching up with cousins

17/08/201816/08/2018
"Cousins" - this week's word of the week

Sophie has been enjoying spending time with her cousins this week and Thomas got to meet them when Auntie Fizz, Ebony and Erin came to stay for a few days. It was lovely to have them stay but emotional too. The last time they came to stay with us was a few days before Jessica… Read More

Exploring Eton with a treasure trail

16/08/201815/08/2018
My sister, nieces, Sophie and Thomas standing under an archway at Eton College

I love doing treasure trails. They’re great for exploring places, help make a walk more interesting, work well for a variety of ages and are great value for money. With my twin sister and two nieces (aged 14 and 12) visiting, a treasure trail made for an ideal day out. We’ve done a couple of… Read More

One of the things I always loved about joining in with the Siblings project is how it helped me capture so many of the beautiful moments with my girls. For four years, I shared photos showing the beautiful bond they had along with a monthly update on all the little things each of them had… Read More

I'm Louise, mummy of three - Jessica, forever six, who was born with half a heart and lives on in mine; and heart-healthy Sophie (born 2013) and Thomas (born 2018). I blog about living with grief after child loss, crafts, days out and the little moments of family life.
