Meeting my younger self for coffee

I went to meet my younger self for coffee but couldn’t go in. Instead I hovered outside, just out of sight and peeped in on her, drinking in the sight of her with her two little girls, hearing the giggles and seeing the love and cuddles. I was so proud of her. Proud of the… Read More

The word 'unwellness' in green bubble writing

It’s been another week of unwellness in the LHBL house. I had a nasty attack of vertigo on Friday which knocked me out of action for the day as I could barely move my head without the room spinning. Thankfully my husband was able to work from home that day and take over as primary… Read More

Friday Focus 07/02/2025 – Disappointed

The word 'disappointed' in grey bubble writing

We’re feeling quite disappointed this week thanks to the timing of round two of chickenpox hitting the LHBL house. I didn’t think we’d escape it with Thomas, but I was hoping it would appear by the end of last weekend as it takes about five days from the spots appearing to them scabbing over and… Read More

Friday Focus 31/01/2025 – Space

The word 'space' in light blue bubble writing

It’s been nice to have some space for myself this week with Sophie back at school again after being home with chickenpox last week. Thomas hasn’t yet come down with it, but we’re still within the timeframe for the incubation period so he could still do so. I’m hoping he’ll come down with it sooner… Read More

Friday Focus 24/01/2025 – Chickenpox

The word 'chickenpox' in peach bubble writing with pink spots

Chickenpox has struck the LHBL house this week with Sophie being unwell at the start of the week and then coming out in spots on Wednesday. So far Thomas is spot-free but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before he comes down with it too.     Sophie’s mostly feeling fine in herself,… Read More

The words 'up-and-down' in wriggly bubble writing

It’s been an up-and-down week with some lovely moments of family time and some good news along with a few struggles with various things and challenges to deal with.     We had a lovely weekend spending time with my family and celebrating my niece’s 21st birthday. Thomas had fun running around with one of… Read More

The word 'normality' in purple bubble writing

The Christmas decorations have been taken down and packed away and it’s back to normality again with Sophie and Thomas being back at school this week and getting back to their usual routines with their various activities.     I’ve enjoyed being able to have a slower start to the year and have been taking… 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.
