Siblings – June 2016

It’s a relief to be the other side of Jessica’s cardiac catheter procedure this month and I was proud of both my girls with how well they coped with Jessica’s hospital admission.  We’re very fortunate to have plenty of friends in Southampton who provide the most wonderful support every time we find ourselves back in… Read More

Me and Mine – May 2016

31/05/201629/05/2016

April was all about snatching family moments when we could and this was something that definitely continued into May with hubby having been working away on events throughout most of the month.  Whilst we are used to this being a normal part of our family life, we are always a little less settled when hubby… Read More

Siblings – May 2016

14/05/201611/05/2017

May is a significant month for us as a family – it was the month when we first found out about Jessica’s heart condition and is a time when I always find myself reflecting on our journey so far.  To be here as a family five years on is truly amazing given just how bleak… Read More

Retro Night – getting the family together over a classic DVD

04/05/201611/05/2017

We’re lucky to live close to hubby’s family – his parents live a couple of miles away from us and go to the same church.  Whilst this means we see each other at least once a week, we don’t necessarily spend a lot of focused family time together.   A couple of weeks ago my father-in-law… Read More

Me and Mine – April 2016

30/04/201611/05/2017

Some months are all about snatching family moments where we can and April has been one of those months.  Hubby has been working long hours and has been away working on events (at the time of writing he’s spending the week in a castle in Rome which I’m rather envious of!) which means we’ve not… Read More

Siblings – April 2016

Siblings - April 2016 - Little Hearts, Big Love

I have two mini ballerinas on my hands this month – my girls are going through a phase of wanting to dress up in their “ballet skirts” and dance around together.  The LEGO Friends songs and the Frozen soundtrack seem to be their preferred dance music at the moment and I love watching them both… Read More

Me and Mine – March 2016

30/03/201611/05/2017
A day out at Cliveden - Me and Mine - March 2016 - Little Hearts, Big Love

It’s interesting that I finished off last month’s Me and Mine post with the reflection that for families like ours every month is heart month and CHD is always at the forefront of my mind.  The day after that post went live saw Jessica’s first unplanned hospital admission in three years thanks to a chest… 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.
