The Friday Focus 21/08/15

21/08/201520/11/2015

We’re now into our second week of potty training and I have been so proud of how well Jessica has done this week.

If I could…

20/08/201528/03/2017

I think we all love to daydream sometimes about what our ideal life would look like and where we could be, what we could be doing if money were no object and we had a friendly genie on hand to grant us a few wishes.  Being tagged recently by Jocelyn at The Reading Residence in… Read More

Two aeroplanes - one blue, one red - made from a peg and craft sticks

Every so often, we have a theme week for crafts. It makes it easier for me to think of ideas (or find some on Pinterest!) This week, “in the sky” was the prompt for our crafting endeavours.

From the mouths of babes #33

17/08/201513/08/2015

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!   A big thank you to everyone who… Read More

This is the man

16/08/201526/01/2017

This is the man who I met on the dancefloor at a beginner’s ballroom class and asked me “have you been to many classes?” only to receive the slightly insulted response “I’m one of the demonstrators!” This is the man who later confessed to always deliberately being one of the last to leave my house… Read More

Heart to Heart – August 2015

15/08/201519/07/2017
A heart with the text "Heart to Heart" on one side and a picture of hands making a heart over a child's chest with the text "A linky for sharing posts about CHD"

The last month has given me a bit of a reminder of the uncertainty that comes with life as a heart family when Jessica’s sats were lower than normal at a routine community nurse visit, prompting an unexpected hospital visit the next day for a more in-depth check-up. Thankfully it seems to have been just… 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.
