James, You Are 6 And A Quarter
Dear James I can barely believe that another 3 months has passed and I am writing another letter. You are well and truly settled into Year 1 at school now, and spelling, reading and homework are a big part of our week. You really love going to school, and you especially love choosing time when […]
Gaining Teeth, Loosing Teeth and Sibling Love
I was born a worrier, but since having children, I am much worse. I worry about everything from making the right parental choices to choosing the right colour paint. I think that’s one of the reasons me and Mr T are a good match. He can listen to each worry and put it immediately into […]
Balancing Time
I’ve spent a lot of time recently feeling well and truly caught up in the fast pasted culture that we live in. It’s relentless, we balance so many commitments and inevitably something has got to give. After becoming run-down and ill earlier this week, Mr T took some unplanned holiday to look after me and […]
Our Christmas Traditions
Every year I love climbing into the attic and bring box after box of our Christmas decorations and memories that we have collected over the years. Its my favourite time of the year, and we spend a lot of time thinking of things to help make it magical for our little family. Making Christmas Magical […]
Joining Beavers
James started going to beavers around 6 weeks ago, about 2 weeks after his 6th Birthday, and after a slightly rocky start, he absolutely loves it!

Our Ordinary
Our Ordinary When I first fell pregnant with J, I used to wish the weeks away. I wished he could sit up, roll, talk and walk, because it was so exciting. I think the beauty of having subsequent children is you know what happens next, and you don’t count down to the next milestone, but […]
Little Ava, you are 5 months old!
You are five months old, and I honestly cant believe you have been a part of our little family nearly half a year already, yet at the same time it feels like you have always been here. You are growing and learning more each day. You reach out for things now, and although you are […]
Beautiful Amy, You are 2 and an half!

You have a beautiful cheeky smile and you love to be involved in absolutely everything. Your passion and enthusiasm for […]
Love
