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 …
The Magic Of Trains and Games
There is something about train journeys that is so exciting for children (and maybe still a little bit for me too). I remember when Baby first went on a train and she stood on the seat with her nose pressed against the window watching the world rush by, in awe. Since then she has had many trips, mainly to London …
Feathered Friends
We love the outdoors and for the sake of our sanity, we try to get outside every day. Some fresh air to blow the cobwebs away. Quite often our trips out involve going to feed the ducks or to visit our wonderful (and VERY friendly) local swans. We are so lucky to live where we do, as we have so …
The reunion
As I have mentioned before, my sister and I lost touch. Years past and before I realised it, we hadn’t been in contact for 11-12 years. I recently dropped her a line and I am so glad to say that we have been back in regular contact for a few weeks now. It is really lovely. My family live in …
Tonight Matthew I am going to be….
I have a new found love, videoing Baby. I have always been a massive fan of taking hundreds, no thousands, of photo’s. Pictures provide us with great memories and I must admit I am a bit addicted to snapping away. However, recently I videoed Baby attempting her baby steps and ever since then I am hooked. I don’t think I …
Emerging friendships
When Baby was younger she and all the other babies would lie on blankets, while us mummy’s drank tea and chatted. Their interaction with each other was limited. As they grew older, they started to take a little more notice of each other. I’m not sure that there was too much recognition, may be a passing familiarity. Baby is now …
Where’s the Baby?
Baby has always LOVED us playing ‘Where’s the Baby gone?’. It started with us covering her face/removing the cover, then she started to get the hang of removing it. As she has got a little older she has started covering her face and uncovering, as we say ‘Where’s the Baby gone…… There she is!’. She began pausing a little longer …
Say cheese!
For the last few weeks, as a family, we have been focused on Baby’s first birthday. Buying her presents, planning her party, baking, making, trying to make her first birthday truly magical. Although this time has been very special, I want to remember the more simple pleasures that we have experienced during this hectic time. Baby loves a selfie, or …
The joy in her face
Baby is developing rapidly. She is almost one and she seems to be learning new things on a daily basis. For me this means I have to try to commit to memory how she is each day, as the next day may be different. One of the things I love most about Baby is her pure joy. She shows it …
Our Wonderful Weekend
This weekend has been ordinary and magical in equal measure. I often find the most magical moments can be found in the most ordinary of situations. We are always so happy to wake up on Saturday morning and know we have Mr Hubby with us. Baby’s face is a picture when she first see’s him, as during the week he …
