Me and Mine – October 2018

October is one of hubby’s busiest months for events and family moments can be few and far between. I am used to flying solo although it can feel very lonely at times. I’ve learned though to make the most of the family moments when I can get them in the busy times. It also means… Read More

Siblings – October 2018

I love watching the way Sophie is so caring with Thomas. She loves to lie down on his playmat with him and wiggle the toys for him, or to pick him up and pat his back when he is crying. It’s funny to hear some of the things I say come out of her mouth… Read More

Family moments have been few and far between this month. It’s been a busy one work-wise for hubby with him either being away working on events or working long hours nearer home preparing for them. I’m used to this of course, although it is different now. Different and yet so very familiar. I am back… Read More

September. The start of a new school year and adjusting to the change in routine. With Sophie having started school last week, I’m now on my own at home most of the day with Thomas. I love the way Sophie gives her baby brother a kiss as she heads into school and is so happy… Read More

August has been a month of memories. A bittersweet month full of memories of previous summer days out with Jessica and Sophie while making new memories with Sophie and Thomas. A month with happy moments albeit with a constant undercurrent of sadness and longing for our biggest girl. So many moments where one of us… Read More

Precious moments: Capturing those early days

21/08/201820/08/2018
Baby Thomas lying on a sheepskin rug

Those newborn days are such precious ones. There is just something about a teeny tiny, brand-new baby. I love the feel of a new baby snuggled up to me; the way they’re still all curled up. I love that newborn baby smell; the snuffles and the little sounds they make and even that newborn baby… 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.
