And so the sun sets on another year of the boys in school. Year 1 and 3 are dusted off and put on the shelf. The last year has been surreal to say the least. But for now I sit glad of 4 weeks off work in front of me. Time to hang out with the goons. Time to have time off, enjoy space, mooch around with my team and generally practice a simplified life. So I’m going dark on these social media spaces for now. Time to reduce my inputs, lean into my core and enjoy the present moment in front of my face. Have amazing summers one and all. See you on the flip side. #goingdark #timeoff #summerholidays #backsoon #sunset #schoolsoutThere aren’t many better ways to start the day. #seaswimming #endorpins #happy #joy #blueskies #brightonlife #hoveactuallyFeeling the weight of this beautiful ending to John O’Donohue’s birthday blessing as I sit at the end of a lovely day.A treasure trove of delights. A delicious heap of wonder. A cavern to be explored. A feast to be tasted and a stack of worlds to enter into. Love my birthday stash. #birthday #books #wonder #delight #loot #happysigh #wheredoIstart?Insanely pretty morning with the parents at the lovey Leonardslee Gardens. In true 2021 style husbandface was out of the picture with feeling grim post second vaccine but we had fun, melted in the heat and came home for birthday cake. I might be 43 tmw but apparently never too old for some good old hedgehog joy cake from my Mum. #birthday #leonardsleegardens #tirednow #beauty #cakePretty epic 48 hours away from the smallest members of our team. Time to relax, eat good food, walk in pretty place, read books and enough time to miss them. Heading back today with a heart full of gratitude for my parents looking after the boys, for their v peaceful house and for my co-captain of this ship we are on through all this crazy life adventure. Now. Back to the fray. #rest #timeoff #grateful #favouriteandbest #beauty #reading #joyArchives

This time last year…
This time last year. (well technically tomorrow will be the actual date when labour started but it was the Friday before half term and today is also the Friday of half term and that sets off this train of thought) … Continue reading
A year on…
It’s been almost a year. Almost a year since our world turned upside down. Almost a year since my world shattered into pieces and I became that most misunderstood of creatures. Almost a year since I became a mother, a … Continue reading
Grumpy mornings
My son is having a grumpy morning. He didn’t go down for his morning nap for reasons that escape us both. He is therefore grumpy and sad. He bangs his head against things and cries. I call him to come … Continue reading
Thoughts about work…
This weekend, as well as giving thanks for sonface, involved the genius of heading to London for Anna and Sarah Day. These days are the best kind of day, a day of peace, of sitting on sofas with big mugs … Continue reading
Thankful
Today we celebrated together with friends and family the crazy wonderful gift of our son. We figured, 10 months down the line, that we are thankful that he is in our lives. So we wanted to celebrate, rejoice in God’s … Continue reading
The ‘we’re back from camp’ post…
3 weeks seems a long time to go without writing. Hmm. What happened? Ah yes, the husbandface is on holiday, we’ve jaunted around the country a bit visiting friends and family. We’ve attempted to entertain our small son for a … Continue reading
Dear Daddy…
This blog post is brought you to from our small squirmy son. It’s Fathers Day and he wanted to give some love to the husbandface, who, as it turns out, gets two soppy posts a year now. I can’t imagine … Continue reading
From the world of holiday…
Today is our last day of holiday on the lovely Kent coast – we’ve had a lovely time away, well as lovely as you can with a small boy who still thinks sleep is for the weak. It’s in these times … Continue reading
And now for something completely different…
This weekend I had the first test of the Great British Public’s approach to buggies on trains. Sonface had his first trip out on a train, as you can see he was pretty entranced by the lights and movement going … Continue reading
