Wishing the moments away

28/09/201611/10/2017
Sophie asleep on my lap

Yesterday, you climbed into my lap for a snuggle, And I thought of the tasks that I needed to juggle, So instead of letting myself make the most of the cuddle Impatiently waited for it to be through.   All those times in the night when you had to be fed; All the hours I… Read More

A brief moment of tidiness

19/07/201611/07/2016

It’s such a satisfying feeling when all the housework’s done, So I stop and enjoy the moment because it doesn’t last for long. Look, I can see all the floor! The toys are put away, (It’s like the Hamleys bomb’s gone off when the kids come down and play!) The windows are all shiny, no… Read More

An ode to bedtime

01/07/201606/07/2016

In my dreams: the end of day Tidy up, put toys away Run the kids a nice warm bath Play with bubbles, have a laugh Soft warm towels, nice and dry Pyjamas on – it’s story time Children snuggled in their beds Lullabies for sleepy heads A kiss goodnight, time to sleep Tiptoe down the… Read More

We Need A Bit Less Christmas

22/11/201524/11/2015

Last December we performed “We Need A Little Christmas” from Mame in our fundraising concert. This year, we decided to perform the same number again – with a little twist. This time, with our concert taking place in November rather than December, we decided to bemoan the fact that Christmas seems to start earlier and… 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.
