Love - this week's word of the week

Today is my fifth wedding anniversary and so my word for this week has to be love. My husband’s love has helped me keep going through all the struggles of the last five years. From losing my dad a few months after we got married, to finding out our first child had a serious heart… Read More

Siblings – July 2014

Watching my two little girls playing together is so beautiful. Sophie is now very confident with sitting unsupported. This means that she can now sit down on the floor with Jessica and they can play together.   Playing with wooden blocks is a favourite activity for both. Jessica loves trying to build a tower with… Read More

We love getting out and about as a family and having a challenge.

So… Read More

I’m at my happiest when it’s just the four of us, spending quality time together, creating precious memories. Twelve whole days together at the beginning of the month, enjoying a road trip around France, Monaco, Italy and Belgium – with a day trip to Sark thrown in – our first holiday abroad as a family.… Read More

Word of the Week 20/06/14 – Laundry

20/06/201431/05/2018
Laundry - this week's word of the week

Being back from holiday means facing an inevitable mountain of laundry.     Thank goodness for washing machines and good weather. Four people and one fortnight’s worth of laundry has meant my washing machine has been working overtime this week just to get the laundry pile back to more manageable proportions.   The fact that… Read More

For Father’s Day, I asked my husband to share a post about his journey as a heart daddy. This is his raw and honest account of his feelings about the journey we have taken as a family so far. It has been very hard and emotional for him to share this. I would like to… Read More

This month has been all about being out and about enjoying sunshiny days. The photo of Jessica pushing Sophie on the swing in the garden is one of my favourites – just love the way they are looking and smiling at each other – capturing such a wonderfully precious moment. They can be so loving… Read More
