There are milestones that you expect, the ones that you work towards – the first time they smile, their first steps, their first words. Then, as they get older, there are more milestones that you tick off the list. Their first day at primary school, their first nativity play. All big special moments in their…
People often say to me, it must be really tough getting all 3 children up and out in time for Meme to get to school, but, truthfully, it isn’t. I find working to a deadline easier, we have a morning routine and we tend to stick to it. However, getting us all out at the…
Over 15 years ago my lovely man finished university bright eyed and optimistic for the future. He walked pretty much into a job and has stayed there ever since – well, until now. It has been a tough year pondering if it was time for a change – the company he worked for was all…
So here we are a family of 5. Our 3rd child Alfie arrived on 29th December 2016 and he has fitted right in. Becoming a family of 5 was a little bit of a worry for us. Our girls have such a strong relationship. I know there are lots of siblings that don’t get on.…

It has been a big couple of weeks for my little girls, we have definitely had a few milestones, not big ones that we will remember in a few years, just small but important ones that made me stop and realise my baby is growing up. Whilst Meme never had a dummy, Harri did, which…
I am never sure if I want to post when I have a bad day or a sad day. I wrote quite a sad post a couple of weeks ago and, whilst it was quite theraputic writing it, I simply can’t bring myself to read it again. It makes me feel too sad. So I…
