The Siblings Project – September 2016

The Siblings Project – September 2016

This is my first time linking up to the siblings project – or linking up to anything at all…. When a camera comes out my three aways seem to look in different directions or pull daft faces. Regardless it is lovely to remember to capture a photo of the three of them each month, as they are amazing to look back on. As you can see below, the first attempt is usaully the best for me – after that i’ve lost their attention! This months photo monkey was Izzie, who seems to be pulling some weird faces, but even so…

What we did Summer 2016 – Week 3 aka The Brushneens go to Cornwall

What we did Summer 2016 – Week 3 aka The Brushneens go to Cornwall

I’m so totally behind with all my summer posts at the moment, but it is lovely as I’m having fun going back through the photos more than a month on. All of my ‘big camera’ photos are in a separate photo heavy posts which you can find here, but these are my iPhone memories, with a few big camera photos thrown in for good measure. Every year we try and get in a family holiday to Cornwall. We have been going nearly every year since Izzie was a tiny baby, and sometimes we go with my parents and have stayed…

Finding a routine as a family of five…

Finding a routine as a family of five…

This summer has been lovely, but it has also been hectic. With the run up to the end of term, and the exhaustion that brought, to going on holiday and lots of social events going on, we lost any kind of routine we had in place during the last 6 weeks. Ell has also had a lot going on with football too, pre-season friendlies, training and the start of the league – each week not being the same as the one previous. Thats not to say I haven’t enjoyed just running with it for the last  weeks – the lack…

Disneyland Paris March 2016 Days 4 & 5

Disneyland Paris March 2016 Days 4 & 5

The last couple of days were more about fitting in what we hadn’t already done, who we hadn’t met and rides we wanted to do again! Another super early start on day 4, and the queues to meet the characters we already really long. We had not yet met Donald in our three trips, so we waited 45 minutes to meet him. We love Donald!! Mason was still loving the Tula ❤️                                                 I love this photo!…

Disneyland Paris March 2016 Day 3

Disneyland Paris March 2016 Day 3

We got up early again for extra magic hours and jumped in the characters queues straight away – it was amazing how busy it was already. I loved the Disney Easter Eggs that were dotted around the park.          First we met Chip & Dale. They were so fun – and the wanted to take Ollie home with them haha – as Ollie kept telling us layer ‘mummy chip and dale wanted to keep me’. Bless him! The sun was at the wrong angle so Izzie had a case of watery eyes – she cannot take photos…
