We have been clearing out our shed and attic over

We have been clearing out our shed and attic over the last few weekends in preparation for moving. When my dad died almost 2 years ago and we cleared his things from his bungalow and shop, we stored lots of things in boxes in the attic as I just didn't know what to do with it and I didn't want to be rushed into any decisions. It's been a combination of heartbreaking and nostalgic looking through those same boxes. I am not really a materialistic/sentimental person, and this little tea set is one of the few things I want to keep. I dont think it's valuable, but I think its pretty and well made, it might be nice to save for the odd afternoon tea at home, maybe with some pretty tea cups instead of my cup 🤣 I think it might have belonged to my granny, and I wonder what stories it could tell ❤️

A few weeks ago this happened! We found the perfect space to call home, it has loads of space and character and is a great project to put our little stamp on and make our own. BUT, it's in the next town over, which means a school move too. Moving four settled children from their amazing school wasn't part of our plan, but commuting for 6 years isn't either. I know this is the right move for our family, but already having pangs of anxiety about the inevitable school move! I know children are resilient, and they usually cope with things better than me 🤣 Fingers crossed the next few weeks go smoothly!

Now that's a slice of cake! Sadly, by the time we had sang happy birthday, photographed and cut it, I was all caked out from 24 hours of eating rainbow offcuts! I'm not going to lie, this took a lot of time, but the very best part is that we saved half of the rainbow layers, so in a few weeks, all I have to do for Avas birthday is defrost and decorate the copy in the freezer! A huge thank you to the immensely talented @torijaneschofield for decorating - and to say I am thinking of you today ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #rainbowcake #unicorncake

Ad | I was so excited when this little beauty arrived in the post, Can you guess what I'm making? It's 100% organic nettle yarn from @darngoodyarn Did you know nettle fibre is actually stronger than cotton? Because nettles are basically weeds they are grow without need for pesticides or herbicides and don't need fertilisation, they are better for the environment too💕 #sustainableknitting #nettleyarn #ad

Oh to be six! It feels awfully adult to be responsible for making birthdays magical! For the first time, we let James & Lily (aged 9 & 8) stay up and help prepare the decorations & wrap presents. They helped choose a little present each and were truly wrapped up in the excitement and magic. Amy (the birthday girl) thought they were making their packed lunches for the next morning or she would never have settled. We love to spend birthday mornings all together - I think those first excited moments in the morning might be my favourites from the whole day - what are your favourite birthday moments? #ohtobesix #birthdaymoments

I'm all for sustainability, so imagine my delight when I found that this cake stand is 100% recyclable because it's made out of thermoplastic! I usually try and avoid plastic, but this was an excellent compromise and I'm sure will bring us years of joy (because 🎂 always brings joy, right?) Brilliant! @koziolgermany

The best moment from today? The 10 minuites when we sat around our little table and told each member of our family why we love them 💕 I'm not going to lie, the decorations took a few hours to make. Our Labrador Loki ate over half the macarons and three cupcakes just after I'd finished baking them, and it took about an hour to set this all up! To see the children's faces was priceless! ...But the very best moment didn't take any effort or time, just a little bit of love and thought 💕 #momentsmakethebestmemories
