Siblings – December 2017

One of the things I love most about watching my girls together is seeing how they disappear into their own little make-believe world together. They both love small world play and it’s clear that they are now very much equal partners in creating imaginary scenarios and playing together. They are a little team. It’s in… Read More

Me and Mine – November 2017

November has been a funny month. It’s been full of ups and downs – lots of preparing to go into hospital for Jessica’s surgery; the disappointment of being cancelled and then having to go through the whole process again. We’ve had two dates for surgery this month: 8th November and 21st November. The first one… Read More

These little girls of mine bring me so much joy. Just watching them play together; seeing how loving they are with each other and how happy they are when they are together makes my heart melt. They are more than just sisters; they are the best of friends. Even when they have their little quarrels,… Read More

Me and Mine – October 2017

Me, hubby, Jessica and Sophie at Claremont Landscape Garden

October has been a bittersweet month. There have been many happy moments – moments that we have tried to focus on and enjoy to the full – while pushing away the anxiety that has constantly been bubbling beneath the surface. With Jessica’s surgery now scheduled for 9th November, those family moments together have felt incredibly… Read More

To Sophie… now you are four

Darling Sophie, Today is your fourth birthday. I know it’s a cliché but I really can’t quite believe you are four already. Where on earth have those last four years gone? It really doesn’t seem that long ago that you were a baby and now you’re getting to be such a big girl.    … Read More

Siblings – October 2017

I can’t quite believe we’re halfway through October already. Half-term is nearly here and I think my girls are certainly ready for it. The bickering seems to be on the increase at the moment and I’m blaming it on tiredness. Thankfully most of the time they are good together though. When they’re lovely together it’s… Read More

Family moments have been few and far between this month. September marks the start of hubby’s busy period at work. We had a short period of family time at the beginning of the month, when we celebrated Jessica’s 6th birthday, but since then hubby has been either away working or working crazy hours.   We’ve… 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.
