The Olympic Gold Postbox Challenge - Little Hearts, Big Love

Me and Mine – July

30/07/201530/08/2015

I am at my most content when spending quality time with my family, going off on adventures together and making happy memories.

During the London Olympics back in August 2012, Royal Mail announced that each gold medal winner would have a postbox painted gold in his or her home town. At the time, we didn’t really take much notice of this until a photo appeared on Facebook of Jessica’s godfather Bryan standing next to a gold postbox… Read More

The Friday Focus 10/04/15

10/04/201512/05/2017

It’s been a bit of a week of transition – getting used to being at home again on my own with the girls after a lovely trip away and so much family time together. Jessica slept in a single bed when we stayed at ‘the moon’ most nights during our holiday and so it seemed… Read More

Looking back on summer

09/09/2014

Jessica’s birthday marks the end of the summer for us (although with return of some warm sunny weather at the moment, it still feels like summer is lingering for a while longer). Our first summer as a family of four has been a lovely one – we have been out and about a lot and… Read More
