The Siblings Project – September 2017

It’s the middle of September and I’m excited for all things Autumn – expect all the coloured leaves photos in the next few months. I also can’t believe we are nearly on the countdown to Christmas! The last month for my three was a bit of a game changer. I have to say I was dreading the summer holidays as the last few months have been all about the arguing between Izzie and Ollie. I think that Izzie has been used to being the older, more dominant one and as Ollie has got bigger and found his own voice and…

{Living Arrows 2017} #24 Starting School

“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” Kahlil Gilbran   I haven’t been around for Living Arrows for so long – I think maybe three weeks?! To be honest, life has just got in the way of blogging over the summer. Days out, hospital trips (more about that at a later date), and then all the rush to get ready for back to school has left my blog looking rather empty recently. I’m back though, and with a very special Living Arrows. Last monday my very precious Rainbow baby, my middle child, started…

I’ve Been Quiet Lately… Our (sort of) New Normal | A Little Life Update

I’ve Been Quiet Lately… Our (sort of) New Normal | A Little Life Update

Since I started ‘seriously’ blogging at the beginning of this year, I’ve always attempted to upload content at least three times a week. I even managed this throughout the summer holidays, despite having three kids to entertain 24/7. I actually managed to schedule posts during times we were on holiday, but I think I managed to burn myself out in the process. It’s not a lack of content or ideas – far from it. In fact I’d like to take this opportunity to say a huge apology to anyone waiting on content or reviews from me – they will be…

The Me & Mine Project – August 2017

It is the end of the August – and nearly the end of the summer holidays. They have totally flown by. Tomorrow is September, the month where everything will change forever. It sounds dramatic I know, but when you have a child starting school, it suddenly seems such a huge thing. Ollie is totally ready. Being a December baby he is one of the older ones in his year group and he loves learning. It doesn’t make it easier, that my precious rainbow baby is all of a sudden big enough to go to school. We’ve had such a lazy…

Tips & Thoughts on Taking Children on Holiday In Europe*

Tips & Thoughts on Taking Children on Holiday In Europe*

Photo taken by and kindly used with permission from Vikki at Family Travel With Ellie *This is a collaborative post with HolidayGems* We’ve just come back from a lovely holiday in Cornwall – it was relaxing, but as is commonly accepted, the British weather didn’t want to play ball. We had the odd few hours of sunshine but it was mainly grey and overcast. It does limit what you can do, and so we have discussed maybe heading to Europe next year – possibly France or Spain. There are some really good deals around, and I will definitely be checking…

Our Summer Holiday to Cornwall | August 2017

Our Summer Holiday to Cornwall | August 2017

*WARNING* Photo Heavy Post Everytime we go away, or have a little trip somewhere I get totally camera happy, and take hundreds of photos. As much as I would love to share every single one on Instagram I think everyone would end up bored of me, hence why I like popping them all into a blog post. We went for our second visit to Cornwall this year, to the North Coast, about 20 minutes from Newquay. This was our annual summer holidays caravan holiday, which the kids love, and we love because it is just so chilled out. All they…
