A Special Announcement…A Rainbow Pregnancy

…The newest (and final) member of Team Brushneen is due in November 2018! You can watch our announcement video here: It feels like we have known, and been keeping this quiet forever. I honestly didn’t think when I took a test just before we went to Disneyland Paris in March that it would be positive – mostly because we had only just started trying, and with Mason it took 4/5 months for me to fall pregnant.

Ollie’s 4th Birthday – Photo Round Up

He was really lucky to have a joint birthday party at our…

Mason’s 1st Birthday

Mason turned 1 on Saturday 14th May 2016. It is bittersweet when your final baby reaches their first birthday. I find myself looking forward to all the firsts left to come, but mourning the newborn stage, and the first smiles, and all the things I won’t get to experience with my babies again. We had a small garden party with family and friends to celebrate, and as we had just finished laying the artificial grass not long before, I was so pleased with how the garden looked –  we recycled the christening bunting for the 4th time and it made…
