Christmas, birthdays and the inbetween

December 29, 2022

I love this week between Christmas and New Year. When the days all blur into one, real life is suspended, we get up late and go to bed late and seem to do nothing other than eat and watch movies. Christmas was good. The run up was hectic… but then the kiddos were all home,...

BLOG, FAMILY

17 years

May 14, 2020

When I was pregnant with my eldest, I remember thinking how when she was 18 I’d be 40… and that all felt so far away it would never happen. Now she’s turning 17… and I’m left wondering where on earth these years have gone. 17 years ago I welcomed a little girl into the world,...

BLOG, FAMILY

And then he was five!

January 7, 2020

A little late as I was taking a blogging break over Christmas/New Years, but I wanted to still share this on here! on the 28th December, my little Beastie Boy turned five. FIVE!! That blows my mind! How he is five already I literally have no idea. But he is, and he is wonderful I...

Life lessons, birthday wishes, and turning thirty seven

March 29, 2018

Happy Birthday to me! Today is my thirty-seventh birthday! How did that happen?! Closer to forty than I am to thirty, I guess I am one of those ‘proper‘ grown-ups haha! I was reading through the post I wrote this time last year when I turned thirty-six a few days ago, and it made me realise just...

FAMILY

And then he was TWO

January 3, 2017

TWO!!! I have no idea how that happened! It feels like five minutes since I announced his arrival. These two years have been a whirlwind, but he’s slotted into our family as though he’s always been here – he filled the missing piece that we didn’t know we didn’t have until he came along. But...

FAMILY

And then she was seven…

March 26, 2016

In my mind, Baya is still about four. She’s been the baby of the family right up until Vega came along, and she is the sweetest little girl. She’s transistioned into the rold of big sister perfectly, and it’s crazy to think she is SEVEN already! She’s been so excited for her birthday, counting down...

EVERYDAY LIFE

NINE!

August 29, 2015

Happy Birthday Kiki!! I can’t believe this little munchkin turns NINE today… time sure is flying far too quickly. Our second born… you’ve always been a whirlwind from the second you were born after a speedy 2 hour labour. Always full of love, full of mischief and all about having fun. We love you squillions...

FAMILY

Twelve!!

May 15, 2015

Happy Twelfth Birthday to the girl who made me a Mama. Who showed me what it meant to love someone unconditionally, who gave me the chance to blossom and be who I was destined to be. I actually can’t believe you’re twelve whole years old… it seems a blink since you were as big as...
