Friday Focus 23/06/2023 – Away

The word 'away' in dark pink

Last weekend, I had my first ever night away from the children as I headed up to Scotland on Friday to stay with friends in Edinburgh and then travelled on to Glasgow the next morning for another friend’s hen party. It was lovely to have some time away and to catch up with my friends.… Read More

We’ve had the last half-term break of this school year and it won’t be long before the school year is over and the summer holidays are here again. We had some lovely days out over half-term and Sophie and Thomas both had some nice moments of one-to-one time with me as well. I tend to… Read More

The word 'sunshine' in yellow

I’ve been enjoying the lovely sunshine and warm weather over the past couple of weeks although it was nice to get a bit of rain too this week – and the garden certainly appreciated it! It’s been lovely seeing the roses blooming, and to be able to start to pick raspberries and strawberries from the… Read More

The word 'outdoors' in brown with grass doodled underneath and flowers and butterflies doodled around the letters

We’ve been enjoying getting outdoors and having fun over half-term. It’s been a lovely break and I’ve really enjoyed switching off from things and focusing on being with Sophie and Thomas. It’s been a nice balance of planned activities or days out and time to just be at home and relax. There’s been adventure and… Read More

Me and Mine – May 2023

May has certainly been quite an eventful month. We’ve had all the excitement of the King’s coronation and the various events happening locally as part of that which was followed by my birthday. Sophie has had a dance festival and a successful audition for the Wizard of Oz. Thomas has had a very good month… Read More

26/05/202327/05/2023
The word 'frustrating' in dark red

This week has been a little frustrating at times. With half-term on the horizon, I’ve been trying to get on top of work and other things on the to-do list so I can focus on doing things with Sophie and Thomas next week, but it’s been somewhat challenging thanks to blips with technology, a few… Read More

Siblings – May 2023

Sophie and Thomas having cuddles on the sofa next to a photo of Jessica from her photo-blanket

It’s the little moments that are often my favourite ones. The ordinary, everyday moments – the snuggles on the sofa, the sound of Sophie and Thomas laughing together, the hugs at bedtime. Those little moments where I see just how much my little people love each other, and that beautiful bond that they share.  … 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.
