I think when you become a parent romance can sometimes be put to the back of the queue. The other weekend I was sorting some stuff out in the garage when I came across mine and Jon's memory box. It is full of every single letter, card and little scribbled note we have ever written to each other, starting...

Becoming a Mum was without a doubt the best thing that has ever happened to me, but it was also incredibly overwhelming in the beginning. I was the first one of my friends to have a baby and as such in the early days I often felt like I had no one to talk to about all things motherhood,...

I am grateful every single day for starting my blog. I wrote it for a fair few years and it was just an online diary of our growing family, somewhere I could share my love of photography, my love of my children and the fun (and not so fun) parts of being a Mum. Over the years this space...

When we first moved into our new home a few months ago we were buzzing with excitement about slowly doing up our 'forever home'. Six months down the line that excitement hasn't really faded, we still turn the key in the lock every day and can't believe that this home is ours. From the very first day it has...

As a family getting out and about and keeping active is really important to us. We love getting out and about and doing things together. But at the same time we also thrive on routine and structure.

I'm definitely a Summer girl at heart (although December is my favourite month of the year by far) but I'm the first one to admit there is something so lovely about the changing of the seasons. For some reason it feels to me like Autumn and Winter means more quality family time. My idea of the perfect family day...

There's something about winter for me that makes me want to burrow down and get all cosy. I love it when the girls come home from school and we all pop our PJ's on and snuggle under a blanket and watch a film. I love to light the candles and turn on the fairy lights and generally make every...

If there is one gift that you can guarantee the whole family (I'm talking my mum, dad, grandparents, Jon's side, my sister... pretty much everyone) will love at Christmas time then it's a photo gift. Our sure fire Christmas present for every single member of our family is something emblazoned with our faces on. Since we had children you...

Back in the day, those glorious days where my children would sit still and smile on command, we would go out and take photos a lot. Not just on our travels or on days out, because on those days it's a given that you would have your camera with you, but just going out purposefully to take a few...
