Documenting milestones + OLYMPUS PEN GIVEAWAY Do you love summer? Even just the word ‘summer’ makes me feel happy. The expectation of gorgeous warm days spent having fun with family and friends is enough to see me cope with our freezing winters. Summer seems to be the time when so many memories are made and often have a nostalgic twist, either remembering …
It’s now only a few weeks until Christmas and the festiveness has started creeping into our daily lives. The decorations going up and the shops filling up with presents to tempt us all. The kids have probably long since written their lists to Santa and are working on making sure they end up on the nice list… I have lost …
Years ago when grandma and grandpa were raising their families everyone knew their place within the family unit and life just seemed to be easier. There was a ‘model family’ in which most fit into; you could guess what the Smiths were doing at 9am on a Sunday morning or the Walkers were doing on a Friday night. Families went …
Since the beginning of the year Mr Hubby has been taking increasingly frequent trips to France with work. In about a year we move out there lock, stock and (hopefully not smoking) barrel and so as the move gets closer he is needed out there more. Also when he is home, he is often working weekends. We love being together …
A couple of weekends ago we ventured out for brunch. I had been at Blogtacular the day before and my sister-in-law had come to stay for the weekend. We headed to a local America dinner, as we thought it would be fun for Baby and she loved it. We ordered her a small child’s milkshake and were a bit taken …
I don’t think that I have ever started to write a post, without fully knowing what the point of it is. Yet this is what I am doing now. Last week was a whirlwind of awesomeness. I genuinely couldn’t believe the blogging opportunities being presented to me. I work very hard on my blog, so I guess it was some …
Being a parent is hard sometimes, you hear people say it is the hardest job you can have. I don’t view it as a job, but have had my share of tough times. Although luckily they are balanced with the wonderful joy, that having a child in your life brings. There is a pressure on parents, especially the stay at home …
Blogger’s Child I have been thinking recently about what it is like to be the child of a blogger. It is not all fun events and new toys; Blogger children have to pull their weight too. I have come up with a list of attributes that set a blogger’s child apart from ‘normal’ children. You know you’re a blogger’s …
On Saturday we celebrated Baby’s Birthday with her party (her actual birthday was on Sunday). We hired a hall a couple of villages away from where we live, it was a really pretty little hall. Saturday may not have started in the best way. Baby specially chosen birthday dress wouldn’t go over her head! Such a silly dress with no …

Jaime at Oliver’s Madhouse creates a Linky each week for us all to share our Magic Moments. These moments can be any moment that feels magical to you, however big or small. We have always struggled with Baby’s feet. When she was about 2 months old she had ingrowing toenails, so the podiatrist recomended keeping her shoe free. This has …
I’m sure every family has their little idiosyncrasies, things they do and say, that is unique or special to their family. Simple everyday things, jokes or simple actions. Mr Hubby once put baby into a flying position and joked that she was Superbaby. She smiled and laughed and it stuck. When she is feeling fraught, he pops her in the …
As I blogged about at the weekend, on Saturday we went to the Matilda Mae Wellie Walk. For me this whole day was a Magic Moment, when taken in context of the past few weeks, which have been difficult for me. I was very proud of Baby, who behaved really well all day and was a pleasure to be with. …
