Me and Mine 2023

Here we are again at the end of another year. I’m grateful for another year of making memories together. I’ll never stop wishing that Jessica was here to be part of our moments together but I’m grateful for the moments that we’ve had as a family over the year.     Some of the things… Read More

We love planning activities to try and do during the summer holidays. In previous years, we’ve put together a list of summer holidays activities to help inspire us. This year we’re already part way through a challenge to complete 100 different kids activities, thanks to Sophie receiving a poster for Christmas with 100 different kids’ activities… Read More

There’s just a couple of days left to go now until the end of the school year. Another school year done. It’s a time of transition and the reminder of how quickly Sophie and Thomas are growing up, seeing them reaching another milestone each and, of course, the reminder of the milestones that Jessica is… Read More

We’ve had the last half-term break of this school year and it won’t be long before the school year is over and the summer holidays are here again. We had some lovely days out over half-term and Sophie and Thomas both had some nice moments of one-to-one time with me as well. I tend to… Read More

Me and Mine – May 2023

31/05/2023
Thomas sitting on Daddy's shoulders with me standing in front of them and Sophie standing in front of me holding a photo of Jessica

May has certainly been quite an eventful month. We’ve had all the excitement of the King’s coronation and the various events happening locally as part of that which was followed by my birthday. Sophie has had a dance festival and a successful audition for the Wizard of Oz. Thomas has had a very good month… Read More

Siblings – May 2023

Sophie and Thomas having cuddles on the sofa next to a photo of Jessica from her photo-blanket

It’s the little moments that are often my favourite ones. The ordinary, everyday moments – the snuggles on the sofa, the sound of Sophie and Thomas laughing together, the hugs at bedtime. Those little moments where I see just how much my little people love each other, and that beautiful bond that they share.  … Read More

Me and Mine – April 2023

Thomas, my husband, me (holding a photo of Jessica) and Sophie sitting and standing around the Easter bunny who is sitting on a bench

In spite of the fact that I was more organised than usual when it came to taking our family photos for April, I’m late again with my Me and Mine post. I’ll blame my tardiness on the fact that April is always a rollercoaster of a month and having school strikes and extra bank holidays… 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.
