June has been a little bit of a stressful month. Planning a birthday party for Harri and waving Meme off on her first school residential really brought out my anxiety, throw in a sick child, a dairy free diet for Alfie and a busy period at work it has been a tough month at times….
We are literally just weeks away from the end of another school year. It has been quite a big one really with it being Harri’s first year in infants and Meme’s last year in infants. It feels like Harri has been in school for a lifetime already, the days of having my sunshine girl pottering…
This weather, I can’t quite believe how beautiful it is. In fact I can’t ever remember a time a British heatwave lasted this long. I love the heat – yes it can be uncomfortable at times and working in it and dealing with the day to days routine can be hard, but I every year…
This weekend we had our first adventure of the Summer and it didn’t disappoint. After a bit of a stressful start to June with birthdays, parties and sickness (all Harri) we were looking forward to spending a weekend away together.

Whilst my 7 year old still plays with toys, often if we go to a shop and let her choose a treat she will buy a notebook, the prettier the better and she will carry it around with her on all of our adventures making notes and writing stories. I love that she does this,…
Last week we celebrated this little lady’s 5th birthday. I can’t quite believe that she is 5, I literally remember the day she was born as if it was yesterday. It has been a big year for my girl with starting school and finding her own little way without Mummy by her side. Whilst I…
