I’ve noticed a bit of a thing going on party people. Both on the interwebz and in real life. There’s a lot of parents opting out of parenting. Like it’s actually a thing you can subscribe to. You can choose to be ‘hands off’ and then explain in by saying it’s backed up by research […]
I’m sure to some people the fact I photograph my children all the time seems a little bit – well – much. Perhaps you think people like me are missing out on actually enjoying their children so desperate are we to capture every moment and milestone. I suppose I can see the sense in that. […]
i wonder if i could cope with a fake chicken? but no eggs, so that would be pointless…… angel with a dirty face playing outside is our fave greig made pizza with the kids. brodie’s half on the left has no tomato sauce and grier’s on the right has everything. also takes rhubarb crumble eating […]
Brodie’s fifth birthday was the first time we’ve attempted any sort of party bag. I think there’s three ways to go with this – buy one decent item, maybe a book for each child, or fill a small bag with inexpensive tat which children will enjoy, or forego the whole party bag thing in lieu […]
Some people are suggesting that it’s spring. Grier does not agree. She insists on having the buggy footmuff zipped all the way around her at all times. Even inside, when she has a jacket on. Whatevs. I hate to be cold too so I’m with her. And don’t get her started on wind, she hates […]
This has the potential to be the most boring blog post ever. I first wrote up a day in our life over a year ago but I never posted it – it’s still in my drafts folder because I like to read it and see how much our daily routine has changed in that time […]
perfect telly watching spot not too big for a ride on ole bullseye i know it’s terribly unfriendly to the planet but i love a new season catalogue. with tea of course. made for us on our wedding anniversary by B and G with some help from granny, delicious. white for greig, dark for me […]
A few weeks ago there was a Panorama programme about food banks called Hungry Britain (click to watch it on iplayer). It brought home the very real need to feed huge swathes of our society either in crisis or longer term. People don’t have enough to eat, whatever you think of the circumstances which brought […]
I think you would have stayed here drawing all day Grier. I love your drawings but most of all I love watching you concentrate so hard on making marks. You clearly have a plan in mind and are delighted when it comes to fruition. I especially enjoyed your feet smudging technique, inspired little one.
So Wednesday afternoon seemed as good a time as any to load the car with kids and head to the nearest country park. It was busy with families making the most of the welcome sunshine. I could almost feel the worries shucking from my shoulders as we made our way to the play area. I’m […]
