Fun in the rain at Paultons Park and Peppa Pig World

Jessica, Sophie and me with Peppa Pig and George

One of the first things Jessica requested when we were putting together our summer activities list at the start of summer was to go to Peppa Pig World. We have been there a few times now with other heart families and the girls love it there. At the start of the summer, we thought that… Read More

The word "six" drawn with the "i" as a candle and the "x" as the ribbons on a present

This week has been all about celebrating Jessica turning six. We would have normally had a party in Grandma’s garden but waiting for a date for Jessica’s next surgery made it hard to plan one.

From the mouths of babes #135 – Riding on Daddy’s shoulders

04/09/201703/09/2017
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. Those adorable mispronounced words, the glimpses into their imaginations, the blunt observations – whatever it is, I’d love to hear about it!   Thank you to everyone who linked up… 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.
