We’ve come back from holiday straight into a week of intense rehearsals for Sophie for The Little Mermaid. She’s been rehearsing 10am – 6pm each day this week and has been throughly enjoying getting into her role understudying Flounder.

We’ve been travelling around over the last week, starting with a trip to Glasgow and back by train last weekend for my friend Gillian’s wedding.

The word 'five' in blue

We’ve had a busy week to start the summer holidays with Thomas turning five and Sophie competing in a dance festival. She’s competed in five dances this week although thankfully none of them were on Thomas’s birthday so we were able to focus on the birthday boy without trying to juggle everything else!    … Read More

This week has been quite an emotional one with the transitions that come at the end of the school year. There would have been a couple of big milestones for Jessica this week – the end of primary school days and moving up to the senior section at Girls’ Brigade. I’m grateful that both of… Read More

There’s just a couple of days left to go now until the end of the school year. Another school year done.

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.
