Siblings – February 2022

Our February siblings photos were taken on our recent weekend in Torquay. We were there for the Land’s End – John O’Groats Association annual dinner and awards evening. It was a weekend that brought back a lot of memories of our two end-to-end journeys and our previous trips to Torquay. We only went there once… Read More

We never really make new year’s resolutions in our family but I do often like to start a new challenge or a new tradition in the new year. I guess that is a resolution of sorts but I never think of it that way. This month, we’ve started making sure we have snuggle time in… Read More

Siblings – January 2022

Thomas and Sophie sitting on a red sofa with a 'Jessica' cushion one side and a 'Sophie' cushion the other, and Jessica's picture on her photo blanket in between them

One of our new things for this year is our morning ‘snuggle time’. We start every morning with five minutes (longer at the weekend!) of sitting together on the sofa, snuggled up under the ‘Jessica blanket’ and enjoying a cuddle together. It’s a lovely way to start the day and I love that the photo… Read More

Me and Mine – December 2021

Hubby, Thomas, Sophie and me (holding a photo of Jessica) in front of a Christmas tree

I feel like I often start my Me and Mine posts by saying that this month has been a difficult one. I guess that’s the reality of life as a bereaved family though – the rollercoaster ride of living with grief and the ache of Jessica’s absence from key moments in our family life. December… Read More

One of our Christmas traditions is to create a festive photo of the children together. I enjoyed coming with different ideas for festive scenes, particularly once I started getting to grips with Photoshop and playing around with backgrounds. I’m thankful that Photoshop gives me a way of creating photos of the three of my children… Read More

Me (holding a photo of Jessica), Thomas, Sophie and Daddy sitting on our bed

November has gone by in a bit of a blur. One of those months of juggling an ever-increasing to-do list, grabbing moments of family time in between work, school and the various activities that are part of the weekly routine. Family time in November has been all about the little moments. Mornings when Sophie and… 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.
