Turning 36 was good. The sun was shining. I made it to 36 in one piece and largely unscathed by the ravages of modern life. I’m just glad to be here with so many wonderful people here both big and small. I’m also happy to eat frozen Toblerone cake. See I even took a picture […]
The news I know you’ve all been waiting for. I bought a pair of dungarees. I have failed to wear them out of the house yet but I will! I logged on to the old bliggety blog this morning and realised it’s been a whole month since I’ve posted which might be the longest time […]
the light in ye olde holiday farmhouse was something else. balm for the photographers soul for sure A change is as good as a rest as they say. Last week on holiday I got a bit of both. The night before we left I was bone tired. Packing for the kids took a lot of […]
I really want the kids to remember the evenings we abandoned baths and balanced meals and sensible bedtimes and threw together a poorly conceived picnic and headed to the country park. I want them to do it for themselves one day, to forgoe what they should do for what feels good. To make the most […]

So Monday was great. Tuesday went swimmingly And so it went on. This has been the week the tide turned. When you literally come into the light and look back having had not a clue you were in the tunnel, being completely tunnel visioned. This week I have felt like myself. I suspect it’s some […]
It’s something people ask all the time, whether or not you have an 11 week old baby or not. They ask how you are. If you’re anything like me you’ll say ‘fine’ without even really thinking about it because pretty much, more or less, that’s what people expect to hear. And that’s cool, I expect […]
I was a bit dismayed yesterday when I saw some disappointed mummies on social media who felt they hadn’t been appreciated enough on Mothering Sunday. Not because I think it’s normal to expect a two year old to select and wrap your favourite Jo Malone candle and woe betide those toddlers who don’t fulfil the […]
I really want to be honest about This Life, our life at the moment. I feel like I should be honest about how hard the transition from 2 to 3 kids has been because I don’t want anyone else who is finding parenting hard to think I have it all figured out and that it’s […]
Motherhood, it’s not for cissies. As the days and weeks pass since Baxter was born it’s hard not to think back to when I first became a Mum. When tiny Brodie was the centre of my universe. I could not remember what my life was like before he was born and I couldn’t imagine what […]
