From the mouths of babes – October 2019

01/10/201930/09/2019
Jessica as a toddler with a speech bubble saying "From the mouths of babes"

From the mouths of babes is an occasional feature capturing some of the things my children say. It originally started as a weekly linky but as this gradually fizzled out, I stopped recording those little sayings and found I missed it. One of the things that I love about my blog is that it has… Read More

September has been a bittersweet month. The start of the month was a very emotional time with the start of a new school year followed by Jessica’s eighth birthday a couple of days later. New milestones for Sophie and the stark reminder of milestones that Jessica will never reach. Time continues to take us further… Read More

A paper heart with "Jessica" on it hanging from a tree and #365daysofgratitude

Since 2016, I have taken part in a daily gratitude challenge, sharing a photo of one thing I am thankful for each day on Instagram. There have been days when finding little things to be grateful for has been very easy to do and others when it has been incredibly hard. Life as a bereaved… Read More

Friday Focus 27/09/2019 – Thankful for friendship

27/09/201926/09/2019
The word 'friends'

We love doing sculpture trails although most of the ones we have done have been some distance away. I was very happy to see that one was happening a little more locally with painted lions appearing around the Windsor area.
