Finishing off half-term with a day out at Legoland

Jessica driving a yellow car at the Lego City Driving School

Going to Legoland at the end of the season has become a bit of a tradition for us. Back in the day when we had a preschool pass for Jessica, Legoland visits were a more frequent occurrence. I miss our days of having annual passes and being able to go on quieter days. It is… Read More

There have been many happy moments – moments that we have tried to focus on and enjoy to the full – while pushing away the anxiety that has constantly been bubbling beneath the surface.

From the mouths of babes #143 – An interview with Sophie (aged 4)

30/10/201725/07/2018
Jessica as a toddler with a speech bubble saying "From the mouths of babes" and the text "A linky for sharing the things kids say"

From the mouths of babes is a weekly linky which invites you to share a post, old or new, about something your children have said.

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.
