#30DaysWild – Making the most of the outdoor moments

30/06/201703/06/2019

Our outdoor time for the final day of #30DaysWild hasn’t been quite so wild. It’s been all about snatching little windows of time to enjoy some outdoor fun in what has been a very hectic day. We spent much of the day at the hospital for Jessica’s latest cardiac check-up and then had a quick… Read More

#30DaysWild – A walk along the canal

29/06/201703/06/2019
The view of the canal from the tow path

I love going for a walk along the canal. It always brings back happy memories of going on a narrowboating holiday with hubby in our pre-children (and pre-marriage!) days. We keep saying that one day we’ll go again with the girls. We’ve yet to really make any firm plans to do so. In the meantime… Read More

#30DaysWild – Into the woods…

25/06/201703/06/2019
Sophie spots a geocache under a fallen tree

One of the things I love about visiting our local country parks is that there are still huge areas of all of them that we have yet to really explore. There is always a new path to head down; a different direction to take and new things to see and do.     The main… Read More

#30DaysWild – Playing Poohsticks at Denham Country Park

23/06/201703/06/2019
Sophie looking down into the stream from the bridge to spot which stick appears first in her game of Poohsticks

Poohsticks is one of those wonderful simple childhood games that stays fun no matter what age you are. Even as an adult, I can never quite resist the temptation when crossing a bridge over a stream to throw a stick in and watch it float downstream.     For a three-year old though, Poohsticks is… Read More

#30DaysWild – Taking a walk on the wild side

22/06/201703/06/2019
Sophie stopping for a snack while out on a walk

Our outdoor adventures have been mostly restricted to the garden lately. With Jessica being unwell recently and this week’s heatwave affecting her energy levels, I’ve felt the need to stay close to home. On the days that she has been able to go to school, there’s been a higher chance of me having to pick… Read More

#30DaysWild – Discovering more about damselflies

20/06/201703/06/2019
A drawing of a damselfly

In the hot weather, outdoor activities with the girls mostly consist of having fun in the paddling pool, or sitting in the shade in the tepee enjoying an ice lolly. While the girls were splashing about though, I noticed a damselfly in amongst the weeds and stopped to watch it for a while. I tried… Read More

#30DaysWild – Picking cherries in Grandma’s garden

19/06/201703/06/2019
Jessica and Sophie with their trays of cherries

Grandma and Grandad have a little orchard in their garden. In the spring, it is beautiful thanks to all the blossom and then there’s the fun of being able to pick fruit in the summer and autumn. There are apple trees and plum trees, a cherry tree and blackberry bushes. The plums will be ready… 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.
